Recent years have seen dramatic changes in research practices in psychological science. In particular, preregistration of study plans before conducting a study has been identified as an important tool to help increase the transparency of science and to improve the robustness of psychological research findings. This article presents the Psychological Research Preregistration-Quantitative (PRP-QUANT) Template produced by a Joint Psychological Societies Preregistration Task Force consisting of the American Psychological Association (APA), the British Psychological Society (BPS), and the German Psychological Society (DGPs), supported by the Center for Open Science (COS) and the Leibniz Institute for Psychology (ZPID). The goal of the Task Force was to provide the psychological community with a consensus template for the preregistration of quantitative research in psychology, one with wide coverage and the ability, if necessary, to adapt to specific journals, disciplines, and researcher needs. This article covers the structure and use of the PRP-QUANT template, while outlining and discussing the benefits of its use for researchers, authors, funders, and other relevant stakeholders. We hope that by introducing this template and by demonstrating the support of preregistration by major academic psychological societies, we

“…Given these results and the lack of other demographic or socioeconomic variables, no variables were included in the models as covariates. Using R, the authors conducted two inverse probability weighted (IPW) multinomial logistic regression (MLR) analyses (Gomila & Clark, 2022) to determine whether the independent variables would increase the probability that a call would result in one of four outcomes (Monitored, Intervention, Adverse Outcome, Unknown). MLR analyses are robust against abnormality of data and variance within categories (Sturdivant et al, 2013) making it uniquely qualified for these data.…”

Abstract. Background The outcomes of calling 911 for suicide crises remain largely unexplored. Aims To investigate how characteristics of individuals in a suicidal crisis (e.g., age, gender identity, help-seeking source, means, disclosure of historical suicidality, or self-harm) may differentiate outcomes when contacting 911. Method The authors analyzed 1,073 Washington State Police 911 call logs, coding for characteristics and outcome (unknown, monitoring, intervention, adverse outcome). Descriptive and inferential statistics, including multinomial logistic regressions, were used to explore associations. Results When individuals experiencing a suicidal crisis were referred by bystander or associates’ observations, there was a greater likelihood of adverse outcome. Self-referral led to a greater likelihood of intervention. Referral from the suicidal individual contacting a known associate led to a greater likelihood of monitoring. Any disclosure of means led to a greater likelihood of intervention or adverse outcomes. Positive disclosure of historical suicidality or self-harm was more likely to result in monitoring. Limitations The dataset was intended for operational use in acute suicidality triage rather than research purposes. Conclusion This study highlights the importance of supporting first responders with research to enhance their triage of people experiencing suicidal crises.

“…For the belief items, we relied on linear regressions. We accounted for participant attrition by weighting on the inverse propensity weight for predicting missing observations (Gomila & Clark, 2020), relying on full information maximum likelihood for the linear regressions (Li & Stuart, 2019), and using covariates that were observed on all respondents (i.e., gender, age, race, education, partisanship, and moral traditionalism) 5 . Full model results are provided in Appendix B.…”

Taking perspective of the stories we tell about transgender rights: The narrative policy framework

Our project uses the narrative policy framework (NPF) to explore narrative effects on attitudes about transgender rights. The framework focuses on the stories that are told about public policy. As opposed to conceptualizing communications as informational, NPF suggests that getting lost in the story is primary for attitude change. We also incorporate a perspective taking exercise to examine its effects on individual attitudes. Using an experiment on 1784 American adults, we found that individuals who received the inclusive transgender policy narrative by either watching or reading the narrative held views more supportive of transgender rights, with the effect greater for watching than reading. Those who experienced greater narrative transportation, being more lost in the story, reported more supportive attitudes. We further find that those with traits that lead them to become more imaginatively involved in stories occasionally are more greatly affected by watching policy narratives than those who are less imaginatively involved. However, perspective taking did not influence attitudes and weakened the treatment effects of the narratives. Our findings suggest stories can affect policy attitudes and beliefs, which may be conceptually distinct from traditional framing‐based accounts and implies distinctive causal mechanisms that result in attitude change.
