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!

Nicely done! This got me thinking, though - when is it appropriate to write "utilized"? Maybe when we're using something in a way it wasn't intended to be used? ("Thinking quickly, he utilized a broken chair leg to club the intruder") When else?

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.

Agreed. Unfortunately, when we are students we all get used to writing to “show that we know things” rather than “to clearly and efficiently communicate”

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.

So, the Knobe effect is that side effects that are seen as harmful are viewed as more intentional. But does it necessarily follow that side effects viewed as intentional are seen as more harmful?

I would feel okay with it if the old work had been shown to be wrong. But it feels like a lot of time and effort was spent on work that is "not even wrong" and instead is completely uninformative.

Reviewer notes: That’s a very nice mediation analysis you have there. It would be a shame if something happened to it.

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) ...

Help needed with power analysis! We plan a study where the predicted results are as shown. What tools can I use to figure out the necessary N to find this 2 x 2 interaction? One complication is that the d values we are expecting come from between-participant studies, but ours will be entirely within
