oHC7: Beyond the Usual Suspects: A Global Initiative to Map a Broader Spectrum of Questionable Research Practices in Psychology
Most studies on the prevalence of questionable research practices (QRPs) have focused on the same limited set of 12 to 15 behaviors, leaving their broader landscape unexplored. The recently resubmitted manuscript “Bestiary of Questionable Research Practices in Psychology” (https://osf.io/preprints/psyarxiv/fhk98_v1) identifies and categorizes 40 QRPs, offering a far more comprehensive framework for understanding research integrity threats. This hackathon brings together researchers interested in launching a multinational study to measure the prevalence of these QRPs across different academic cultures. In this session, participants will refine methodological approaches, discuss survey design, and form an international research team to implement a large-scale data collection. By expanding the focus beyond well-known QRPs like HARKing and optional stopping, we aim to produce the most systematic assessment of QRP prevalence to date. Join us to help shape this global initiative for more transparent psychological science!
