Over the past two years, I4R partnered with Psychological Science (@psychscience.bsky.social) on a large reproducibility project. 67 independent teams reproduced 64 articles published in 2024–2025, about 44% of eligible papers. Paper: www.econstor.eu/bitstream/10... Here's what we learned 🧵

Fully expecting this to be based on a tiny self-selected sample predisposed to aggression, with participants coached on how to act, exaggerated performances for observers, all run by a host with a flair for showmanship but questionable ethical instincts. You know, a direct replication

Definitely a big oof That said, I'd been thinking about moving my default repository to be the Canadian one offered through my own university institution (Borealis), and seems like this will be the clincher.

@creppsych.bsky.social - I realize you might only be finding out about the upcoming changes to the OSF at the same time as the rest of us, but how should CREP instructors and students proceed given that we won't be able to add new projects or components to OSF pages after November 16th?

Big changes ahead: the OSF will stop support sharing (new) data, materials and code. Feels like the end of an era!

Overall, our findings point to a simpler explanation: Learning with others may be effective because the human mind treats live social contexts as special, even when interaction is minimal. Interactivity can help, but it may not be the central ingredient to boost learning.

Into the afternoon now, Elisabeth Bik makes case that peer review cannot really detect fraud, because researchers don't know how to recognize it. Need professional fraud detectors. Elsevier rep in morning said they see more and more fraudulent submissions. Becoming a stress on system.

Mediation analysis has gotten a lot of flak, including classic titles such as “Yes, but what’s the mechanism? (Don’t expect an easy answer)” (Bullock et al., 2010), “What mediation analysis can (not) ...

One complication is that the d values we are expecting come from between-participant studies, but ours will be entirely within
