Long story short: we didn’t replicate the effect.
Conclusion: The link between regulatory fit (or this manipulation) and moral behavior isn’t as robust as previously thought. Time for more scrutiny. 🔍

In a project with @kascigala.bsky.social and @stepf.bsky.social , we tested this in three well-powered studies (N = 3,150), using the same manipulations and moral behavior measures as Achar & Lee. So… did it hold up?

🚨STOP, replication time!🚨
Does Feeling “Right” Make the Good More Good (and the Bad More Bad)?
Achar & Lee found that when people experience regulatory fit, moral predispositions get amplified—moral folks act more moral, less moral folks act less moral. Big, exciting claim!

Does “feeling right”—that is, experiencing regulatory fit—lead us to act more in line with our moral preferences?
With @schildchristoph.bsky.social and @stepf.bsky.social, we conducted a series of the first large-scale, independent close replications in the field of regulatory fit.
