>A replication attempt with a sample from a more diverse population, over 10 times larger than the original study, showed only half the effect of the original study. I remember someone doing experiments out of a van back when cmu did experiments out of a van did a screener that basically was “is your major economics or psychology” then got visibly angry when they started a task and I exclaimed “oh is this game theory?” (As in narrowed her eyes and went “You can just buy candy at 7/11 you know, you’re a grown man.”) Anyways that experiment was not the one in the OP, but I suspect just like the one in the OP it was so widely known by the time a replication study occurred, it was too well known even outside the field to be truly recreated. Once you realize huge chunks of social science are effectively a set of competing religious beliefs a lot makes sense. Eg: Instead of “Protestants and Catholics” you have “behavioral economics and cognitive psychology” :-) Anyways thanks for the random Wikipedia article OP, but it’s making me a bit hungry.
