Implication

Randomized trial examines how public trust in psychological research is affected by replication failures and criticisms in Europe, suggesting complex implications for future support.

Key Points

This research investigates how knowledge of replication failures and criticisms influences public trust in psychological science.
Conducted a randomized trial with a sample of N=1129 from Europe.
Participants were assigned to groups based on whether they were informed about replication failures, QRPs, or proposed reforms.
Self-reported trust levels in past and future research were measured and compared against a control group.
Participants informed about replication failures, QRPs, and reforms reported less trust in past research compared to the control group.
Trust in future research did not significantly differ for those informed about only replication failures and QRPs versus control.
The reforms group showed significantly less trust in future research than the control group.
