Definition 1 of 38
- Responsible researchers modify their hypotheses before publication if they notice the results
are not what they predicted.
- Reporting every single analysis conducted on every single variable can be misleading.
Identify the false statements about transparent and questionable research practices.
Identify the true statements about popular media and replicability.
Identify the true statements about transparent and questionable research practices.
Identify the true statements about direct replication studies.
Term 2 of 38
Anita is conducting a study on sleep and video games. When she begins her study, she is not sure
whether playing video games causes people to lose sleep, or whether people often turn to video
games when they cannot sleep. Once she analyzes her data, she discovers that it is more likely
that participants were losing sleep because they were staying up playing video games. After
realizing this, Anita removes any mention of the idea that people who can't sleep turn to video
games from her paper before submitting it for publication.
What questionable research practice is Anita engaging in?
HARKing
HARKING
- Preregistration, in which researchers post their hypotheses and plans for a study prior to
collecting data, can address HARKing. Because their hypotheses are posted online with a
time-stamp, researchers cannot change them after they obtain their results.
HARKing
- Anita removes one hypothesis and emphasizes another based on her results. This can
majorly skew how others interpret the results. Anita should have reported her first
hypothesis and said that it was not supported, while still discussing her new ideas.
theory testing / generalization / replication-plus-extension / cultural
,Term 3 of 38
Sora is examining whether more hours of sleep and higher quality of sleep decrease stress in
college students. She asks her participants to report their level of stress, the number of hours of
sleep the night before, quality of sleep the night before, and other demographic variables.
Match each questionable research practice to the corresponding scenario that might occur in
Sora's study.
underreporting null findings / p-hacking / HARKing
- Sora finds that stress is not associated with quality of sleep, so she does not include it in her
results.
direct replication
harking
underreporting null findings
there is no issue with her research practices
, Term 4 of 38
Horselenberg and colleagues (2003) conducted an experiment based on Kassin and Kieche
(1996) in which participants were falsely accused of striking a computer key that caused important
data to be deleted. The first study showed that 69% of the participants were willing to sign a
confession that they had struck the key. In the later study, researchers changed the procedure so
that in addition to signing the confession, participants were asked to give up part of their
compensation for participating in the study.
Identify the false statements about what the researchers could have done to achieve certain
goals in their study.
- The original study was conducted in the United States. If they wanted to strengthen
external validity, the researchers could have conducted their replication study in the
Netherlands.
- If they wanted to increase experimental realism, the researchers could have made the lab
situation closely parallel false confessions of a crime.
conceptual replication
- Horselenberg and colleagues examined the same research question as the original study,
but they used different procedures.
- The researchers conducted only the analyses that they had originally planned to conduct.
- The article reports all of the variables in the study, even those that did not produce
significant results.
- If they wanted to strengthen external validity, the researchers could have increased the
number of participants in the study.
- If they wanted to strengthen construct validity, the researchers could have conducted
several different replication studies.
