Power and Vertical Positions in an Organization Chart: A Pre-Registered Replication Report of Study 3a and a Modification of Study 1a, Giessner & Schubert (2007), Giessner & Schubert (2019). Outcome recorded: mixed. Our current preregistered Study 1 confirms original Study 3a of Giessner and Schubert (2007). View paper
Many Labs 2: Investigating Variation in Replicability Across Samples and Settings, Klein et al. (2018). Outcome recorded: failed. This result does not support the hypoth- esis that perceived power is higher with greater vertical distance. The replication effect was in the same direc- tion as, but much smaller than, the original (d = 0.03, 95% CI = [−0.01, 0.08], vs. original d = 0.55). View paper
