Enclothed cognition refers to the systematic influence that clothes can have on the wearer's feelings, thoughts, and behaviors through their symbolic meaning. It has attracted considerable academic and nonacademic interest, with the 2012 article that coined the phrase cited more than 600 times and covered in more than 160 news outlets. However, a recent high-powered replication failed to replicate one of the original effects. To determine whether the larger body of research on enclothed cognition possesses evidential value and replicable effects, we performed z-curve and meta-analyses using 105 effects from 40 studies across 24 articles ( = 3,789). Underscoring the marked improvement of psychological research practices in the mid-2010s, our results raise concerns about the replicability of early enclothed cognition studies but affirm the evidential value for effects published after 2015. These later studies support the core principle of enclothed cognition-what we wear influences how we think, feel, and act.
着装认知指的是服装能够通过其象征意义对穿着者的情感、思维和行为产生的系统性影响。它引起了学术界和非学术界的广泛关注，2012年创造这个术语的文章被引用了600多次，并被160多家新闻媒体报道。然而，最近一项高规格的重复研究未能重现最初的一项效应。为了确定关于着装认知的更多研究是否具有证据价值和可重复效应，我们使用了24篇文章中40项研究的105项效应（N = 3789）进行了Z曲线分析和元分析。我们的结果凸显了2015年前后心理学研究方法的显著改进，这引发了人们对早期着装认知研究可重复性的担忧，但肯定了2015年之后发表的效应的证据价值。这些后期研究支持着装认知的核心原则——我们的穿着会影响我们的思维、感受和行为方式。
