- Does Perceived Similarity Between Present and Future Self Predict Well-Being? A Reanalysis and Replication of, Weidmann et al. (2024). Social Psychological and Personality Science. Outcome recorded: statistically successful but flawed.
We were able to reproduce and replicate the findings based on a difference-score approach. However, we did not find a similarity effect in either sample using more sophisticated approaches. The current results show that previously reported support for the association between perceived similarity and well-being is driven by the statistical main effects of personality reports.
