Replications

• SCORE new data replication of Kappes et al. (2012), Milyavskaya et al. (2026). Outcome recorded: failed. The moderation analysis and simple slopes revealed that when expectations were low, there was no significant difference between the mental contrasting and the irrelevant control conditions, t(306)=-.96, p=.339. Therefore, the claim was not successfully replicated.
