... A strong limitation to the current and previous studies is the common approach to measure salivary estradiol and progesterone with immunoassays. Although the immunoassays approach is an easy and accessible method to measure gonadal steroids in saliva, liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) provides more sensitivity, validity, and accuracy in measuring steroid hormone levels (Arslan et al., 2022). Thus, the results of our hormone models should be interpreted in light of this limitation and are in need for replication with a more valid analysis method. ...

... Finally, recent calls to make distinct aspects of the scientific process machine-readable (Lakens & DeBruine, 2021;Spadaro et al., 2022) could enhance transparency, standardize the literature review process, and reduce time and effort expenditure (Brisebois et al., 2017;Sabharwal & Miah, 2022) ...

... This study found that Chinese lesbian and bisexual women indicate a significant preference for femininity in their potential female partners across different domains. Lesbian and bisexual women demonstrated a stronger preference for feminized female faces, voices (higher voice pitch and shorter VTL), and personality traits over masculinized versions, which is consistent with past research demonstrating that lesbian women prefer partners with a more feminine appearance (Bailey et al., 1997;Bassett et al., 2001;Glassenberg et al., 2010;Shiramizu et al., 2021;Welling et al., 2013). Lesbian and bisexual women showed stronger preferences for feminine rather than masculine cues in faces, voices, and personality traits of females, which also supports the hypothesis proposed by Bailey et al. (1997) that lesbian women's partner preferences mirror those of heterosexual males. ...

... Mixed-effects models are crucial to appropriately analyze data from experimental designs including both subjects and items as crossed random effects (Baayen et al., 2008;DeBruine & Barr, 2021). However, their use is limited in neuroimaging analyses also due to computational time constraints. ...

... Retractions and self-retractions can reveal much about the social dimension of the scientific enterprise. That said, the understanding of factors influencing this correction process should be sought in light of a research culture, including its publication system, that does not incentivize publicly exposing failures (Allison et al., 2016;Bishop, 2018;Rohrer et al., 2021). When it comes to such exposure through self-retractions for honest error, although there have been growing efforts toward normalizing this process (Bishop, 2018;Ribeiro et al., 2022), such cultural shift takes time. ...

... In women, disgust responses have been reported to vary across the menstrual cycle, being at their greatest when progesterone is elevated (reviewed in [97]). However, consistent negative findings have also been reported [98,99]. Recently, systemic administration of progesterone to female mice was suggested to rapidly enhance their avoidance of infected males, though social recognition per se was also affected [100]. ...

... However, as a result, it has inherited the challenges of these parent fields, such as the replication crisismany findings failing to replicate (Open Science Collaboration, 2015;Camerer et al., 2018) and the WEIRD people problemoverreliance on findings from Western contexts and lack of attendance to cross-cultural and contextual differences (Henrich et al., 2010b;Apicella et al., 2020). Within behavioural science, cultural and other contextual heterogeneities are acknowledged as important (IJzerman et al., 2020;Bryan et al., 2021;Sunstein, 2021), but it remains unclear how to systematically incorporate these factors in a principled manner. And so it is difficult to know when we should expect findings and past successes to generalize (Deaton & Cartwright, 2018). ...

... As-of-yet we don't know if the relationship between religion and health will fare any better, but the meta-analysis of Garssen et al., suggests that the effect size in longitudinal studies is small at best. Fourthly, given the large degrees of freedom in the way in which meta-analyses can be conducted, a manyanalyst approach allows different researchers to conduct their analysis on the same data (Forscher et al., 2020). In this way it can be assessed to what extent outcomes, e.g., from meta-analyses, are robust to seemingly arbitrary choices in the design of the statistical tests (e.g., exclusion of outliers; using different methods to control for heterogeneity). ...

... Judging by the modally occurring forms of research practice in experimental research, it would seem that psychology has settled for the latter, even though we profess to being able to provide direction on the former. One of the outcomes of this fact is the strained relationship, and often cynicism, that exists in applied domains of practice, such as education, for the outcomes of academic research, which are seen as generally neither conclusive, nor practical (Broekkamp and van Hout-Wolters, 2007;IJzerman et al., 2020). This may reflect insufficient attention to the existence of moderating variables that can define subgroups who may respond differently. ...

... io/scienceverse/). For RRs that test specific confirmatory hypotheses, all preregistered hypotheses and statistical predictions could also become machine-readable 91 . A machine-readable output can be used to extract key metadata from the RR, as the results either confirm or disconfirm the prespecified hypotheses. ...
