Replications
- Replication and extension of framing effects to compliance with health behaviors during pandemics, Otterbring et al. (2021). Safety Science. Outcome recorded: successful.
we show that the classic Asian Disease Problem (Tversy and Kahneman, 1981) is replicable, regardless of disease type (real vs. hypothetical).

Study 2 shows that people exhibit the endowment effect for noninstrumental information, and so value information more, simply by virtue of "owning" it.

In the aggregate replication sample (N = 7,228), participants were more likely to say that they would go to the other branch when the cheap item was on sale (49%) than when the costly item was on sale (32%; p = 1.01e−50, d = 0.40, 95% CI = [0.35, 0.45]; OR = 2.06, 95% CI = [1.87, 2.27]). These results are consistent with the hypothesis that the base cost of a discounted item influences willingness to travel, though the effect was less than half the size of the original (OR…

To test for replication we conducted a chi-square analysis on program choice with condition (gain-frame or loss-frame) as a between-subjects variable: χ2(1) = 516.41, p < .0001, d = .60
