Numerous experiments have been conducted in recent years on anomalous retroactive influences on cognition and affect (Bem, 2010), yet more data are needed to understand these processes precisely. For this purpose, we carried out an initial retro-priming study in which the response times of 162 participants were measured (Rabeyron and Watt, 2010). In the current paper, we present the results of a second study in which we selected those participants who demonstrated the strongest retro-priming effect during the first study, in order to see if we could replicate this effect and therefore select high scoring participants. An additional objective was to try to find correlations between psychological characteristics (anomalous experiences, mental health, mental boundaries, trauma, negative life events) and retro-priming results for the high scoring participants. The retro-priming effect was also compared with performance on a classical priming task. Twenty-eight participants returned to the laboratory for this new study. The results, for the whole group, on the retro-priming task, were negative and non-significant (es = -0.25, ns) and the results were significant on the priming task (es = 0.63, p < 0.1). We obtained overall negative effects on retro-priming results for all the sub-groups (students, male, female). Ten participants were found to have positive results on the two retro-priming studies, but no specific psychological variables were found for these participants compared to the others. Several hypotheses are considered in explaining these results, and the author provide some final thoughts concerning psi and replicability.
近年来，人们对认知和情感的异常回溯影响进行了大量实验（Bem，2010），但为了更准确地理解这些过程，还需要更多的数据。为此，我们进行了一项初步的回溯启动研究，测量了 162 名参与者的反应时间（Rabeyron 和 Watt，2010）。在当前的论文中，我们介绍了第二项研究的结果，我们选择了在第一项研究中表现出最强回溯启动效应的参与者，以观察我们是否可以复制这种效应，从而选择高分参与者。另一个目的是尝试寻找心理特征（异常体验、心理健康、心理边界、创伤、负面生活事件）与高分参与者回溯启动结果之间的相关性。回溯启动效应也与经典启动任务的表现进行了比较。28 名参与者为这项新研究回到实验室。对于回溯启动任务，整个组的结果为阴性且无显著性（es = -0.25，ns），而在启动任务中的结果为阳性（es = 0.63，p < 0.1）。我们在所有子组（学生、男性、女性）中都得到了回溯启动结果的总体负性效应。发现有 10 名参与者在两项回溯启动研究中都有阳性结果，但与其他参与者相比，这些参与者没有发现特定的心理变量。为了解释这些结果，考虑了几种假设，并对 psi 和可重复性提供了一些最终思考。
