Reflection-Philosophy Order Effects and Correlations Across Samples

Authors: N Byrd

Year: 2025

Published in: Byrd, N. (2025). Reflection-Philosophy Order Effects and Correlations Across Samples. Analysis. DOI: 10.1093/analys/anaf015. https://osf.io/preprints/psyarxiv/y8sdm

Institution: Stevens Institute of Technology

Research Area: Behavioral Research Methods, Experimental Psychology, Crowdsourcing Platforms

Discipline: Psychology

Reflective reasoning correlates with certain philosophical decisions, and the study suggests bidirectional causal paths between reflection and philosophy, with test order effects influencing reflection test outcomes but not philosophical decisions.

Methods: Participants from four sources (Amazon Mechanical Turk, CloudResearch, Prolific, and a university) were tested on reflective reasoning and their decisions on 10 philosophical thought experiments.

Key Findings: Impact of reflective reasoning on philosophical decisions and the effect of test order on reflection and philosophy outcomes.

Eyewitness Misinformation Susceptibility Across Data Collection Contexts: Comparing Laboratory, Online, and Prolific Participant Responses

Authors: M Brassil, É Duncan, C Greene, B Mac Síthigh

Year: 2025

Published in: 2025 - osf.io

Institution: University College Dublin

Research Area: Eyewitness Memory, Misinformation Effect, Behavioral Research Methods, Online Data Collection Platforms

Discipline: Psychology

The study found that data collection contexts significantly influence susceptibility to eyewitness misinformation, with Prolific participants being less accurate and more susceptible compared to Laboratory or general online participants.

Methods: Two studies were conducted comparing eyewitness misinformation susceptibility across Laboratory, Prolific, and General Online participant groups under varying visual perceptual load conditions.

Key Findings: Eyewitness misinformation susceptibility and recall accuracy across Laboratory, Prolific, and General Online participant groups; the effect of visual perceptual load on recall accuracy.

Web-based psychoacoustics: Hearing screening, infrastructure, and validation

Authors: BA Mok, V Viswanathan, A Borjigin, R Singh

Year: 2024

Published in: Behavior Research ..., 2024 - Springer

Institution: Purdue University, University of Pittsburgh

Research Area: Psychoacoustics, Hearing Screening, Behavioral Research Methods

Discipline: Generating formulas is not supported. Please use the Gemini side panel instead.

The study demonstrates that web-based psychoacoustic experiments can produce results comparable to lab-based studies by addressing challenges like hearing screening and headphone standardization.

Methods: Web-based tests using jsPsych and Django for task implementation, Prolific for participant recruitment, hearing screening using a suprathreshold task and survey, and validation against lab-based data.

Key Findings: Classic psychoacoustic phenomena such as fundamental frequency discrimination, gap detection, interaural time delay and level difference sensitivity, word identification, consonant confusion patterns, and co-modulation masking release effect.
