“…Reporting inconsistencies are only a small part of the problems related to the current "replication crisis" that psychology is facing (for an overview of these problems, see e.g., Shrout & Rodgers, 2017). Even so, we think that it is useful to treat problems in our scientific system (no matter how small) as empirical questions that we can solve by applying the scientific method.…”

In this paper, we present three retrospective observational studies that investigate the relation between data sharing and statistical reporting inconsistencies. Previous research found that reluctance to share data was related to a higher prevalence of statistical errors, often in the direction of statistical significance (Wicherts, Bakker, & Molenaar, 2011). We therefore hypothesized that journal policies about data sharing and data sharing itself would reduce these inconsistencies. In Study 1, we compared the prevalence of reporting inconsistencies in two similar journals on decision making with different data sharing policies. In Study 2, we compared reporting inconsistencies in psychology articles published in PLOS journals (with a data sharing policy) and Frontiers in Psychology (without a stipulated data sharing policy). In Study 3, we looked at papers published in the journal Psychological Science to check whether papers with or without an Open Practice Badge differed in the prevalence of reporting errors. Overall, we found no relationship between data sharing and reporting inconsistencies. We did find that journal policies on data sharing seem extremely effective in promoting data sharing. We argue that open data is essential in improving the quality of psychological science, and we discuss ways to detect and reduce reporting inconsistencies in the literature.

Open Science is Liberating and Can Foster Creativity

Some scholars think that Open Science practices constrain researchers in ways that reduce their creativity; arguing, for instance, that preregistration discourages data exploration and so stifles discovery. In this paper, we argue the opposite: Open Science practices are liberating and can foster creativity. Open Science practices are liberating because they (a) enable us to explore data transparently and comfortably, (b) reward quality, which is under our control, rather than outcomes, which are not, and (c) reduce the chokehold of needing to find 'positive' results for career advancement. Open Science practices can foster creativity because they (a) cultivate an open and flexible mindset, (b) create a more collaborative and constructive climate, and (c) generate more accurate information and make it more accessible. In sum, Open Science liberates researchers more than it constrains them.

“…Future research should continue to disentangle the intricate web of cognitive, affective, and social‐pragmatic factors that shape how people use, process, and respond to metaphors in everyday communication. And more researchers should embrace the burgeoning open science movement, which aims to increase the reliability and validity of scientific research and may help resolve some of the remaining controversies in the field (Finkel et al, ; Munafò et al, ; Shrout & Rodgers, ).…”

The role of metaphor in communication and thought

Metaphor is pervasive in everyday communication. It is known to help people understand complex topics, communicate efficiently, and influence others. In this paper, we provide a review of the literature on the utility of metaphor, describing key findings and controversies while underscoring recent experimental and theoretical advances. We begin with a brief introduction to metaphor and offer a critical assessment of the claim that conventional metaphors in language reflect underlying conceptual representations and processing, a view associated with Lakoff and Johnson's groundbreaking conceptual metaphor theory (CMT). We then discuss recent research that examines whether and how metaphor shapes attitudes and reasoning, outlining some of the cognitive, affective, and social forces that moderate the efficacy of metaphors on decision making. Throughout the paper, we highlight theoretical implications of the research and identify challenges that warrant further investigation in the study of metaphor. In the end, this work paints a complex and dynamic view of metaphor in communication and cognition.
