On the association between loneliness and bathing habits: Nine replications of Bargh and Shalev (2012) Study 1, Donnellan et al. (2015). Outcome recorded: mixed. Study 1 was a near-exact replication of Study 1a reported in Bargh and Shalev (2012) using a sample size that was more than four times larger than the original (n = 51 college students; 26 women; M age = 20.11 years, SD = 4.17). In contrast to the original results, we found a trivial correlation in View paper
Can physical warmth (or coldness) predict trait loneliness? A replication of Bargh and Shalev (2012), Wortman et al. (2014). Outcome recorded: failed. Using procedures that were very similar to those in the original study and a sample size that was more than 5 times larger, we found that there was no difference between conditions, a finding that failed to replicate the original study.

Showering and Loneliness: Participants from the University of Texas, Austin, Ferrell et al.. Outcome recorded: failed. These results generally replicate the results reported in Donnellan, Lucas, and Cesario (in press) and do not replicate the correlation between water temperature and trait loneliness reported in Study 1a of Bargh and Shalev (2012).
