Psychology is in the middle of a replicability revolution. High-profile replication studies have produced a large number of replication failures. The main reason why replication studies in psychology often fail is that original studies were selected for significance. If all studies were reported, original studies would fail to produce significant results as often as replication studies. Replications would be less contentious if original results were not selected for significance.
心理学正处于可重复性革命的中期。备受瞩目的复制研究产生了大量的复制失败。心理学中复制研究经常失败的主要原因是原始研究是为了显著性而被选择的。如果所有的研究都被报告,原始研究就不会像复制研究那样经常产生显著的结果。如果原始结果不是为了显著性而被选择,那么复制研究就不会有那么多争议。
