Implication

Multi-site replication study reveals consistent replication of ten of thirteen psychological effects across 36 samples, suggesting replicability depends more on the effect than the setting.

Key Points

  • Assess variation in the replicability of 13 classic and contemporary psychological phenomena and determine whether testing environments influence effect sizes.
  • Conducted direct replications of 13 psychological effects across 36 independent samples totaling 6,344 participants.
  • Compared effect magnitudes across diverse testing conditions, including laboratory versus online platforms and U.S. versus international sites.
  • Ten of the thirteen effects replicated consistently across the aggregate sample.
  • Imagined contact reducing prejudice showed weak replicability, while flag priming influencing conservatism and currency priming influencing system justification failed to replicate.
  • Contextual variations, including sample origin (U.S. vs. international) and administration mode (laboratory vs. online), did not systematically predict effect magnitudes.
