Abstract Several hundred research groups attempted replications of published effects in so-called Many Labs studies involving thousands of research participants. Given this enormous investment, it seems timely to assess what has been learned and what can be learned from this type of project. My evaluation addresses four questions: First, do these replication studies inform us about the replicability of social psychological research? Second, can replications detect fraud? Third, does the failure to replicate a finding indicate that the original result was wrong? Finally, do these replications help to support or disprove any social psychological theories? Although evidence of replication failures resulted in important methodological changes, the 2015 Open Science Collaboration findings sufficed to make the point. To assess the state of social psychology, we have to evaluate theories rather than randomly selected research findings.

我们可以从许多实验室复制中学到什么？

摘要 数百个研究小组试图在涉及数千名研究参与者的所谓“多实验室”研究中复制已发表的效果。鉴于这笔巨额投资，评估从此类项目中学到了什么以及可以学到什么似乎是及时的。我的评估解决了四个问题：首先，这些重复性研究是否告诉我们社会心理学研究的可重复性？其次，复制能否检测欺诈？第三，未能复制发现是否表明原始结果是错误的？最后，这些重复是否有助于支持或反驳任何社会心理学理论？尽管复制失败的证据导致了重要的方法学变化，但 2015 年开放科学合作的发现足以说明这一点。
