...-analysis suggested publication bias in the literature and the need to revisit the phenomenon. We conducted a pre-registered far replication and extension of Studies 1 and 3 in Small et al. (2007), a seminal demonstration of the identifiable victim effect, with hypothetical donations. We examined the impact...

... in the last 10 years in Psychological Bulletin that investigated experimental mean differences were z-curved. Z-curve is a meta-analytic technique that allows one to estimate the predicted replicability, average power, publication bias, and false discovery rate of a population of studies. The results of the z...

..., and assess the degree of publication bias in the sample. We conducted a new meta-analysis that assessed the designs separately and applied appropriate corrections for publication bias. We found that studies using a standard design yield weak evidence of a TPNL effect, studies using pre-testing yield a small...

..., however, did not adequately correct for publication bias. We re-analyzed the same set of studies with more appropriate adjustments for publication bias and found minimal evidence for transfer of training to cognitive ability measures. Instead, it is possible that there are little or no benefits, just...

... are (perhaps unintentionally) the result of questionable research practices or publication bias. Readers should therefore be skeptical about the original results and conclusions. Finally, we discuss how to design future studies to investigate the relationship between hopelessness and brightness. Importantly...
