In a now-classic study by Srull and Wyer (1979), people who were exposed to phrases with hostile content subsequently judged a man as being more hostile. And this “hostile priming effect” has had a significant influence on the field of social cognition over the subsequent decades. However, a recent multi-lab collaborative study (McCarthy et al., 2018) that closely followed the methods described by Srull and Wyer (1979) found a hostile priming effect that was nearly zero, which casts doubt on whether these methods reliably produce an effect. To address some limitations with McCarthy et al. (2018), the current multi-site collaborative study included data collected from 29 labs. Each lab conducted a close replication (total N = 2,123) and a conceptual replication (total N = 2,579) of Srull and Wyer’s methods. The hostile priming effect for both the close replication (d = 0.09, 95% CI [-0.04, 0.22], z = 1.34, p = .16) and the conceptual replication (d = 0.05, 95% CI [-0.04, 0.15], z = 1.15, p = .58) were not significantly different from zero and, if the true effects are non-zero, were smaller than what most labs could feasibly and routinely detect. Despite our best efforts to produce favorable conditions for the effect to emerge, we did not detect a hostile priming effect. We suggest that researchers should not invest more resources into trying to detect a hostile priming effect using methods like those described in Srull and Wyer (1979).

敌对启动效应的多站点合作研究

在 Srull 和 Wyer (1979) 的一项现已成为经典的研究中，接触到带有敌意内容的短语的人随后会判断一个人更具敌意。而这种“敌意启动效应”在随后的几十年里对社会认知领域产生了重大影响。然而，最近一项密切遵循 Srull 和 Wyer (1979) 描述的方法的多实验室合作研究 (McCarthy et al., 2018) 发现了几乎为零的敌对启动效应，这让人怀疑这些方法是否可靠地产生影响。为了解决 McCarthy 等人的一些限制。（2018 年），当前的多站点协作研究包括从 29 个实验室收集的数据。每个实验室都对 Srull 和 Wyer 的方法进行了密切复制（总 N = 2,123）和概念复制（总 N = 2,579）。近距离复制 (d = 0.09, 95% CI [-0.04, 0.22], z = 1.34, p = .16) 和概念复制 (d = 0.05, 95% CI [-0.04, 0.15) 的敌对启动效应], z = 1.15, p = .58) 与零没有显着差异，如果真正的影响不为零，则小于大多数实验室可以可行和常规检测的值。尽管我们尽最大努力为效应的出现创造有利条件，但我们没有检测到敌对的启动效应。我们建议研究人员不应该投入更多资源来尝试使用 Srull 和 Wyer (1979) 中描述的方法来检测敌对启动效应。如果真正的影响不为零，则小于大多数实验室可以可行和常规检测到的。尽管我们尽最大努力为效应的出现创造有利条件，但我们没有检测到敌对的启动效应。我们建议研究人员不应该投入更多资源来尝试使用 Srull 和 Wyer (1979) 中描述的方法来检测敌对启动效应。如果真正的影响不为零，则小于大多数实验室可以可行和常规检测到的。尽管我们尽最大努力为效应的出现创造有利条件，但我们没有检测到敌对的启动效应。我们建议研究人员不应该投入更多资源来尝试使用 Srull 和 Wyer (1979) 中描述的方法来检测敌对启动效应。
