- Results showed highly variable effect sizes across different studies testing the same hypotheses, with significant differences noted for four out of five hypotheses.
- The variability in results was mostly tied to the hypotheses rather than the researchers' skill in designing materials, highlighting the potential of crowdsourced testing to clarify empirical support for scientific claims.
We present the data from a crowdsourced project seeking to replicate findings in independent laboratories before (rather than after) they are published. In this Pre-Publication Independent Replication (PPIR) initiative, 25 research groups attempted to replicate 10 moral judgment effects from a single laboratory's research pipeline of unpublished findings. The 10 effects were investigated using online/lab surveys containing psychological manipulations (vignettes) followed by questionnaires.

What accounts for the prevalence of these judgments, given that their validity is at best uncertain? We hypothesized that the tendency to reason from "is" to "ought" is due in part to a systematic bias in people's (nonmoral) explanations, whereby regularities (e.g.
