Replications

• Eleven years of student replication projects provide evidence on the correlates of replicability in psychology, Boyce et al. (2023). Outcome recorded: failed. The original study's main finding, a significant effect of explanation level, did not replicate (p = .376). Additionally, the main effect of explanation quality, a particularly strong effect in the original paper, did not replicate either (p = .062). View paper
