I should make it clear that these practices are very much not common in any field and greatly exceeded my expectations. I applaud the authors for making the extra effort and strongly encourage other researchers to follow in their footsteps.
My yell-at-people-on-the-internet-for-doing-statistics-wrong senses are still tingling, though, for reasons I don’t understand. It’s probably nothing, but maybe it’s foreshadowing.
I was wrong. This study actually looks solid, with pre-registration and good sample-sizes.
Also, they made all the code and datasets available!

A full analysis will follow. Eventually.
Also their respondants are not just undergraduates—the first study at least was a representative sample of about 1,000 US and UK residents.
