Replications
- SCORE new data replication of Tomz & Van Houweling (2009), Druckman et al. (2026). Outcome recorded: failed.
We did not find a significant probit coefficient associated with risk aversion (z= -.274, p = .784), such that risk-averse respondents were no less likely to prefer an ambiguous candidateto a precise candidate. Therefore, the replication of the relevant claim was unsuccessful according to theSCORE criteria.
Outcome read from OSF report.
