Credibility Beyond Replicability: Improving the Four Validities in Psychological Science

Beyond-Quantum Modeling of Question Order Effects and Response Replicability in Psychological Measurements

A general tension-reduction (GTR) model was recently considered (Aerts & Sassoli de Bianchi, 2015a,b) to derive quantum probabilities as (universal) averages over all possible forms of non-uniform fluctuations, and explain their considerable success in describing experimental situations also outside of the domain of physics, for instance in the ambit of quantum models of cognition and decision....

What Should Researchers Expect When They Replicate Studies? A Statistical View of Replicability in Psychological Science.

A recent study of the replicability of key psychological findings is a major contribution toward understanding the human side of the scientific process. Despite the careful and nuanced analysis reported, the simple narrative disseminated by the mass, social, and scientific media was that in only 36% of the studies were the original results replicated. In the current study, however, we showed th...

Experimenter gender and replicability in science

There is a replication crisis spreading through the annals of scientific inquiry. Although some work has been carried out to uncover the roots of this issue, much remains unanswered. With this in mind, this paper investigates how the gender of the experimenter may affect experimental findings. Clinical trials are regularly carried out without any report of the experimenter's gender and with dub...

Psychological Approaches to Credibility Assessment Online

As networked information and communication technologies have enabled nearly instant access, from virtually anywhere, to almost inconceivably large information repositories, people have come to rely upon web-based information resources in a wide variety of ways. For example, even as early as 2006, nearly half of users in the United States said that the Internet played a crucial or important role...
