Does moral licensing really exist?? 👀(doing a good thing, then a less good thing)
➡️ Many failed replications. Why?

44 citations on my paper from 2020 - 'Failure to replicate moral licensing and moral cleansing in an online experiment'.
So, they can be cited!
It also led me to develop stronger theory & methods addressing bigger quesions in the field. Null results are incredibly valuble!

"Researchers value null results, but struggle to publish them"
"only 30% of respondents with null results had attempted to publish them"
"69% didn’t think null results would be accepted for publication"

Rational ≠ Reasonable. Across five studies we find that people deliberately switch standards of “good judgment” depending on the task. in press in Open Mind🔗 doi.org/10.31234/osf.io/fc8n…

Five years ago, @DanTGilbert and Susan Fiske contacted me and @EliJFinkel to join them as editors for the HSP 6th ed. Dan envisioned a completely free, open access edition and I doubted it was possible. Today, Dan proved me wrong, and I present the HSP 6th ed.

Since 1954, "The Handbook of Social Psychology" has been the field’s most authoritative reference work, and today is the launch of the all-new 6th edition. Best news? The HSP is now an open-access public resource—free to read, download, and share. the-hsp.com/

If you design a study to test a prediction, you need to be able to falsify it. In frequentist statistics this is achieved through an equivalence test. You can't have an informative test if you can't prove yourself wrong. Learn about equivalence testing.

A reminder that not all replications are equal. Online replications can't always be expected to replicate findings that are contingent upon in-person cues.

I found this troubling when setting up my experimental studies. I can't say I am urprised.

Lots of famous findings about human behavior are built on the results of economic games - tasks where participants allocate resources or make choices with different payoffs. A new study finds that up to 70% of participants don't understand the instructions of these games.

🌟This paper reframes moral licensing as a social effect—not a purely internal one based on self-regulation.
🌟And it shows how experimental methods can shape the effects we (dis)cover.
