This paper offers a comprehensive and critical review of recent empirical evidence on the effectiveness of Open Science initiatives—such as replication studies, reproducibility efforts, pre-registrations, and registered reports—in addressing the root causes of the replication crisis. Building upon and extending prior reviews, we integrate recent theoretical models from economics with empirical findings across several social science disciplines to assess how these practices impact research integrity. Our review demonstrates that while measures like pre-registration and data sharing have advanced transparency, they often fall short in mitigating QRPs due to persistent incentive misalignments. In contrast, registered reports and megastudies show greater promise by fundamentally reshaping the incentive structure, shifting the focus from producing statistically significant results to emphasizing methodological rigor and meaningful research questions. We argue that realigning incentives is crucial for fostering a culture of integrity and offer policy recommendations involving key stakeholders—including authors, journals, editors, reviewers, and institutions—to promote practices that enhance research reliability and credibility across the social sciences.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":51637,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Behavioral and Experimental Economics","volume":"114 ","pages":"Article 102327"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143163542","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using framed lab-in-the-field experiments conducted with rural households in the North-Central region of Namibia, we elicit individual risk and ambiguity attitudes and observe technology choices across varying levels of known and unknown probabilities of favourable weather. Our findings show that risk-seeking behaviour significantly increases the likelihood of adopting higher-risk, higher-return agricultural technologies when probabilities are known. Under ambiguity, both risk and ambiguity preferences significantly influence technology choices, with ambiguity-averse farmers tending towards safer options. Importantly, we demonstrate that farmers’ willingness to pay for precise weather information escalates with the level of objective uncertainty that they face. Access to accurate weather forecasts leads to significant improvements in weather-related decisions under complete uncertainty, promoting the adoption of improved technologies and increasing expected payoffs. These results underscore the crucial role of objective uncertainty in shaping demand for information and highlight the potential of targeted weather information services to enhance farmers’ agricultural decision-making, particularly in the arid and semi-arid regions of sub-Saharan Africa. Our study contributes to the literature by providing empirical evidence on how reducing uncertainty through information provision can facilitate technology adoption, suggesting that investments in weather forecasting and dissemination could substantially benefit farmers in regions vulnerable to climate variability and when there are high levels of objective uncertainty.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":51637,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Behavioral and Experimental Economics","volume":"116 ","pages":"Article 102346"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2025-01-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143642737","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Primarily, this equivalence is understood through a self-evident formal logic. Whether positively and negatively framed messages are equivalent in a broader, psychological sense has only recently been raised, and evidence remains scarce. We contribute by testing whether speakers use framing to implicitly convey their recommendations. In an experimental study, a scenario describing a potentially harmful procedure was presented to 119 participants, who were assigned roles of physicians or car mechanics. Their task was to convey instruction-based recommendations on whether to undertake the procedure, using only a positive or negative framing. The main finding is that participants in both roles used framing to implicitly convey recommendations, with physicians being more likely to use positive framing. Specifically, most participants instructed to recommend the procedure used positive framing. Nearly all mechanics used negative framing to discourage the procedure, while physicians were equally likely to use either frame. With no instruction on what to recommend, almost all physicians used positive framing, while mechanics were the same likely to use either frame. Presumably, this ability to speak between the lines implies also the ability to read between them. Should further research support this assumption, the effectivity of framing-based measures to shape behavior may hinge on the lens through which listeners interpret the intentions behind speakers’ framing choices.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":51637,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Behavioral and Experimental Economics","volume":"115 ","pages":"Article 102337"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2025-01-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143105423","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We find that respondents underestimate the overall level of support for affirmative action in the U.S. However, neither the social nor personal norm interventions were effective in changing attitudes towards preferentially promoting women. These null effects are precisely measured and do not result from an underpowered study. We find evidence that Republican respondents are less likely to promote female candidates when exposed to information about the increasing proportion of U.S. citizens in favor of preferential promotion policies, i.e., when we target social norms. These results suggest that customized interventions or legislative changes addressing norms may be more effective strategies than general informational campaigns.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":51637,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Behavioral and Experimental Economics","volume":"115 ","pages":"Article 102336"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2025-01-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143105421","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
