Efforts to increase replication rates in psychology generally consist of recommended improvements to methodology, such as increasing sample sizes to increase power and using less flexible statistical analyses. However, little attention has been paid to how the prior odds (R) that a tested effect is true affect the probability that a significant result will replicate. The lower R is, the less li...

The contrasting approaches of differential psychology and cognitive psychology to the same individual differences data are outlined.
