Hagen Cumulative Science Project I

It has been proposed recently on theoretical grounds that results published in “Judgment and Decision Making” are better replicable than results published in other psychology journals (https://replicationindex.wordpress.com/2015/09/13/replicability-report-for-the-journal-judgment-and-decision-making/). To test this hypothesis empirically, master and bachelor students writing their final thesis in the division of cognitive psychology (head Dr. Susann Fiedler and Dr. Andreas Glöckner) at the FernUniversität in Hagen will systematically replicate studies published in “Judgment and Decision Making”. The „Hagen Cumulative Science Project I” thereby supports the current debate on the replicability of research in psychology and introduces future generations of researchers to the method of replication.

近期，基于理论层面的探讨指出，《判断与决策》杂志上发表的研究成果相较于其他心理学期刊的发表成果，其可复现性更为显著（参见https://replicationindex.wordpress.com/2015/09/13/replicability-report-for-the-journal-judgment-and-decision-making/）。为验证此假设，来自哈根远程大学的认知心理学系（由Susann Fiedler博士和Andreas Glöckner博士担任负责人）的研究生和本科生将在撰写毕业论文时，系统性地复现《判断与决策》杂志上发表的研究。此举的“哈根累积科学项目I”旨在支持当前关于心理学研究可复现性的辩论，并为未来的研究者们引入复现这一研究方法。
