Replications

• Magical thinking in predictions of negative events: Evidence for tempting fate but not for a protection effect, van Wolferen et al. (2013). Judgment and Decision Making. Outcome recorded: failed. we attempted to replicate the protection effect reported in Tykocinski's (2008) Experiment 1 as closely as possible. Using a student sample, a sample of train commuters (as in the original study), and a large online U.S. sample, we did not find evidence for this effect. Outcome read from the discussion. View paper
