“…In this paper we decided to further investigate the gender and daughter effects in economic decision making. Our study can be seen as in accordance with the so-called creative destruction approach to replication, in which experiments are replicated but boundary conditions and alternative explanations are also tested (Tierney et al, 2020). Firstly, we extend the findings concerning gender differences in investment decisions to the willingness to work in a morally controversial company for a higher wage.…”

Earlier findings suggest that men with daughters make judgments and decisions somewhat in line with those made by women. In this paper, we attempt to extend those findings, by testing how gender and parenting daughters affect judgments of the appropriateness of investing in and working for morally controversial companies (“sin stocks”). To do so, in Study 1 (N = 634) we investigate whether women judge the prospect of investing in sin stocks more harshly than men do, and test the hypothesis that men with daughters judge such investments less favorably than other men. In Study 2 (N = 782), we investigate the willingness to work in morally controversial companies at a significant wage premium. Results show that – for men – parenting daughters yields harsher evaluations of sin stocks, but no evidence that it lowers the propensity to work in such companies. This contrasts to the effect of gender: women reliably judge both investment and employment in morally controversial companies more harshly than men do. We suggest that an aversion towards morally controversial companies might be a partial determinant of the gender gap in wages.

“…In order to address these shortcomings and in order to get concurrent data and reduce the retrospective nature of reporting by adults, future studies with a longitudinal design, using a creative destruction approach (i.e. pre-specifying alternative results by competing hypotheses on a complex set of experimental findings; Tierney et al, 2020aTierney et al, , 2020b) are needed.…”

“…In addition, there are several recent studies using similar prediction surveys with and without monetary incentives to predict different types of replication outcomes, e.g. Landy et al (2020) where the focus is on conceptual replications and Tierney et al, (2020) who propose a "creative destruction" approach to replication where theories or frameworks are pitted against each other in the replications. These studies, with mainly researchers predicting replication outcomes, again suggest some albeit imperfect "wisdom of crowds".…”

Replication, an important, uncommon, and misunderstood practice, is making a comeback in psychology. Achieving replicability is a necessary but not sufficient condition for making research progress. If findings are not replicable, then prediction and theory development are stifled. If findings are replicable, then interrogation of their meaning and validity can advance knowledge. Assessing replicability can be productive for generating and testing hypotheses by actively confronting current understanding to identify weaknesses and spur innovation. For psychology, the 2010s might be characterized as a decade of active confrontation. Systematic and multi-site replication projects assessed current understanding and observed surprising failures to replicate many published findings. Replication efforts also highlighted sociocultural challenges, such as disincentives to conduct replications, framing of replication as personal attack rather than healthy scientific practice, and headwinds for replication contributing to self-correction. Nevertheless, innovation in doing and understanding replication, and its cousins, reproducibility and robustness, have positioned psychology to improve research practices and accelerate progress.
