ABSTRACT There is a push in psychology toward more transparent practices, stemming partially as a response to the replication crisis. We argue that the psychology of religion should help lead the way toward these new, more transparent practices to ensure a robust and dynamic subfield. One of the major issues that proponents of Open Science practices hope to address is researcher degrees of freedom (RDF). We pre-registered and conducted a systematic review of the 2017 issues from three psychology of religion journals. We aimed to identify the extent to which the psychology of religion has embraced Open Science practices and the role of RDF within the subfield. We found that many of the methodologies that help to increase transparency, such as pre-registration, have yet to be adopted by those in the subfield. In light of these findings, we present recommendations for addressing the issue of transparency in the psychology of religion and outline how to move toward these new Open Science practices.

宗教心理学研究人员自由度

摘要 心理学推动了更透明的实践，部分原因是为了应对复制危机。我们认为宗教心理学应该有助于引领这些新的、更透明的实践，以确保一个强大和充满活力的子领域。开放科学实践的支持者希望解决的主要问题之一是研究人员的自由度 (RDF)。我们预先注册并系统回顾了三个宗教心理学期刊的 2017 年问题。我们旨在确定宗教心理学在多大程度上接受了开放科学实践以及 RDF 在该子领域中的作用。我们发现许多有助于提高透明度的方法，例如预注册，尚未被该子领域的人采用。鉴于这些发现，
