The Psychological Science Accelerator: A Distributed Laboratory Network

Our mission is to accelerate the accumulation of reliable and generalizable evidence in psychological science, reducing the distance between truth about human behavior and mental processes and our current understanding. This challenge cannot be adequately met by a single researcher or small team. Instead, we attempt to meet this challenge with a distributed laboratory network that is ongoing (as opposed to time or task limited), diverse (both in terms of human subjects and participating researchers), and inclusive (we welcome ideas, contributions, study proposals, or other input from anyone in the field of psychology).

我们的使命在于加速心理学科学中可靠且可推广证据的累积，缩短关于人类行为和心理过程之真相与当前认知之间的距离。这一挑战无法仅凭单一研究者或小型团队得以充分应对。相反，我们试图通过一个持续进行（而非受时间或任务限制）、多元（包括受试者和参与研究者）以及包容性（我们欢迎来自心理学领域任何人的想法、贡献、研究提案或其他反馈）的分布式实验室网络来迎接这一挑战。
