Reproducibility

2015-05-01 18:11:04.738533+02 by Dan Lyke 0 comments

An effort to reproduce 100 psychology research findings managed to confirm the findings of only 39 studies:

The project, known as the “Reproducibility Project: Psychology”, is the largest of a wave of collaborative attempts to replicate previously published work, following reports of fraud and faulty statistical analysis as well as heated arguments about whether classic psychology studies were robust. One such effort, the ‘Many Labs’ project, successfully reproduced the findings of 10 of 13 well-known studies.
