Replications

• Replication of "Experiencing Physical Warmth Promotes Interpersonal Warmth" by, Lynott et al. (2014). Social Psychology. Outcome recorded: failed. We did not replicate the effect in any individual laboratory or when considering the results of the three replications together (total N = 861). Outcome read from the abstract. View paper
• No Evidence that Experiencing Physical Warmth Promotes Interpersonal Warmth: Two Failures to Replicate Williams and Bargh (2008), Chabris et al. (2018). Outcome recorded: failed. we attempted to replicate both experiments in field settings with more than triple the sample sizes (128 and 177) and double-blind procedures, but found near-zero effects (r = –.03 and .02). Outcome read from the abstract. View paper
