Question

to increase the reliability of their research, psychologists have embraced the open science movement. identify the essential aspects of this movement.
essential aspect(s)

• discarding data and procedures that were not successful
• focusing on small samples of people who are similar to one another
• publication of research plans before beginning an experiment
• engaging in practices that increase the likelihood that the results would be similar if the study were run again
• allowing other scientists access to the data collected during an experiment

Explanation:

• Open science emphasizes transparency, reproducibility, and accessibility of research.

1. "Discarding unsuccessful data/procedures" contradicts open science's transparency requirement.
2. "Focusing on small similar samples" reduces generalizability and is not an open science practice.
3. "Publishing research plans pre-experiment" aligns with open methodology (pre-registration), a core open science aspect.
4. "Practices for replicable results" supports reliability, a key goal tied to open science's focus on reproducibility.
5. "Sharing experimental data with others" directly aligns with open data, a core component of open science.

Answer:

• publication of research plans before beginning an experiment
• engaging in practices that increase the likelihood that the results would be similar if the study were run again
• allowing other scientists access to the data collected during an experiment
