Other amazing mass replications of studies from Mental Accounting:
osf.io/apc26_v1

This should be published and cited.

It's absolutely amazing the a PCIRR Stage 2 community endorsed manuscript automatically is accepted in a journal like Royal Society Open Science with no additional peer review needed.

Go PCIRR friendly journals!

Why aren't there more journals joining?

Amazing work for a =UG= thesis by Amy.
Students can do remarkable work.

Grateful for PCIRR open positive and constructive peer review process:

Thank you for reviews: Barnabas Szaszi, Féidhlim McGowan, and Chris Chambers

Thank you Thaler for your work.

In prediction polls I ran on TwitterX back in 2022, 73.3% of 30 votes thought it would successfully replicate.

Poll:

See that thread to check how that compares to the other predictions.

We conducted a replication & extensions of Thaler (1999), the seminal =review article = of mental accounting covering many studies in behavioral economics.

A very complex replication project.

Conclusion:
Mostly successful, support for 11 of 17 scenarios, 3 mixed, 3 no support.

Our PCIRR Stage 2 Registered Report now officially accepted by Royal Society Open Science:

"Revisiting mental accounting classic paradigms: Replication Registered Report of the problems reviewed in Thaler (1999)"

Mengfei Li's remarkable UG RRR thesis.

Of 28, 16 (57%) successfully replicated.

Expert forecasters were overoptimistic: prediction markets expected 70%, surveys expected 65%.

Correlations between predictions & outcomes were not high (r = 0.43), & weaker for survey (r = 0.26).

Thanks, Anna Dreber & economist team that made this a reality, & @PRASAC for taking lead.

Main question:
Can prediction markets and surveys accurately predict if classic social psychology & JDM findings will replicate in new data collections?
September 10, 2025 at 1:23 PM
Accepted for publication at Royal Society Open Science:
"Using prediction markets and forecasting surveys to predict 28 replication outcomes of classic articles in social psychology and judgment and decision making"

Going meta-science on our CORE team replications

Thanks, Prasad, & sorry for dragging you into this.

The main issue:
Are direct replications of an article published in 1993 using the same materials they used back then worthwhile? What can we conclude if the replication fails?
August 19, 2025 at 4:53 PM
Accepted for publication at Judgement and Decision Making:
"On process & value of direct close replications: Rejoinder to Shafir and Cheek (2024) commentary on Chandrashekar etal. (2021)"

Responding to original authors regarding our replication of Shafir (1993).

Been doing workshops about Peer Community In @PeerCommunityIn / PCI Registered Reports @PCI_RegReports / PCI Psychology & associated Peer Community Journal @PeerComJournal for 3 years now.

Most common concern: "PCJ has no impact factor". 🤦

PCJ now has IF 2.
A science revolution.

Wow.

"56 laboratories performed 143 replications of 56 experiments; 96 replications of 47 experiments were considered valid [...] Replication rates for these experiments varied between 15 & 45% according to five predefined criteria [...] effect sizes were 60% larger in original experiments"

Main arguments:
- Replications value goes beyond replicability
- Replications are very rare: We just do not do replications
- Replication value is tied to research value, we should assess research value, and not start from replications
