(Medical Xpress)—Psychological studies have a bad reputation for delivering results that researchers never reproduce. Repeatedly, psychologists have been unable to replicate the effects of classic studies. To test the reproducibility of psychological experiments, researchers from around the world worked together to repeat 13 studies, using thousands of subjects in different locations. Their collaborative work, the Many Labs Replication Project, reproduced the effects of 10 of these 13 studies. The research can be found online and will appear in a special issue of Social Psychology in Spring 2014.
