Details

This series of experiments was published in an article in Psychological Science in 2018. Subsequently, Frank Yu, Leif Nelson, and Uri Simonsohn argued that the data for the experiments could not be trusted,and Simonsohn developed number-bunching in relation to his analysis of the data. The article was eventually retracted. The original data is available on OSF. This data frame consists of the data contained in the tab named "Study3-sanitizer usage(grams)".
