【 摘 要 】

Many psychological researchers have recently recognized the need for preregistered, well-powered confirmatory studies (Nosek et al., 2012; Wagenmakers et al., 2012; Open Science Collaboration, 2015; van't Veer and Giner-Sorolla, 2016). These practices should eliminate most undetected methodological biases or “questionable research practices” that can distort study findings (Ioannidis, 2005; Simmons et al., 2011; John et al., 2012; Kaplan and Irvin, 2015; Franco et al., 2016) and they allow researchers to document verifiably that they used good methodology.
