Confirmatory Research – A special issue of JESP
Catching up a bit, but in November of 2016 the Journal of Experimental Social Psychology published a special issue dedicated just to confirmatory research. http://www.sciencedirect.com.proxy.cc.uic.edu/science/journal/00221031/67/supp/C
The whole issue is well-worth reading:
- There is an excellent guide to pre-registration (ostensibly for social psychologists, but really for anyone). (van ’t Veer & Giner-Sorolla, 2016)
- Lots of interesting pre-registered studies, like this one (McCarthy, Coley, Wagner, Zengel, & Basham, 2016)
- Many Labs 3 is published, which is completely fascinating. (Ebersole et al., 2016)
- And some fascinating commentaries, including this one about using MTurk samples. (DeVoe & House, 2016)
