[76] Heterogeneity Is Replicable: Evidence From Maluma, MTurk, and Many Labs

Posted on April 24, 2019November 18, 2020 by Joe & Uri

A number of authors have recently proposed that (i) psychological research is highly unpredictable, with identical studies obtaining surprisingly different results, (ii) the presence of heterogeneity decreases the replicability of psychological findings.

More than 30 different labs ran the same set of studies and the paper presented the results side-by-side. They did not find any…

Consider the robust phenomenon of anchoring, where people’s numerical estimates are biased towards arbitrary starting points. What does it mean to say “the” effect size of anchoring? It surely depends on moderators like domain of the estimate, expertise, and perceived informativeness of the anchor. Alright, how about “the average” effect-size of anchoring? That's simple enough….
