  • The trustworthiness of the cumulative knowledge in industrial/organizational psychology

    Open AccessSheila K Keener, Sven Kepe et al.ARTICLEActa Psychologica2023

    The goal of industrial/organizational (IO) psychology, is to build and organize trustworthy knowledge about people-related phenomena in the workplace. Unfortunately, as with other scientific disciplines, our discipline may be experiencing a "crisis of confidence" stemming from the lack of reproducibility and replicability of many of our field's research findings, which would suggest that much of our research may be untrustworthy. If a scientific …

  • Effects of violent and nonviolent sexualized media on aggression‐related thoughts, feelings, attitudes, and behaviors

    Open AccessJonathan Burnay, Sven Kepe et al.ARTICLEAggressive Behavior2022

    Women are often depicted as sex objects rather than as human beings in the media (e.g., magazines, television programs, films, and video games). Theoretically, media depictions of females as sex objects could lead to negative attitudes and even aggressive behavior toward them in the real world. Using the General Aggression Model (Anderson & Bushman, 2002) as a theoretical framework, this meta‐analytic review synthesizes the literature on the effe…

  • Questionable research practices among researchers in the most research‐productive management programs

    Open AccessSven Kepe, Sven Kepes et al.ARTICLEJournal of Organizational Behavior2022Cited by: 4References: 4

    Questionable research practices (QRPs) among researchers have been a source of concern in many fields of study. QRPs are often used to enhance the probability of achieving statistical significance which affects the likelihood of a paper being published. Using a sample of researchers from 10 top research‐productive management programs, we compared hypotheses tested in dissertations to those tested in journal articles derived from those dissertatio…

  • Violent video game effects remain a societal concern

    Sven Kepe, Sven Kepes et al.ARTICLEPsychological Bulletin2017Cited by: 1

    A large meta-analysis by Anderson et al. (2010) found that violent video games increased aggressive thoughts, angry feelings, physiological arousal, and aggressive behavior and decreased empathic feelings and helping behavior. Hilgard, Engelhardt, and Rouder (2017) reanalyzed the data of Anderson et al. (2010) using newer publication bias methods (i.e., precision-effect test, precision-effect estimate with standard error, p-uniform, p-curve). Bas…

  • Social identity and applicant attraction

    Open AccessGeorge C Banks, Sven Kepe et al.ARTICLEJournal of Organizational Behavior2015Cited by: 3References: 14

    Applicant attraction is a critical objective of recruitment. Common predictor variables of applicant attraction are limited in that they do not provide a comprehensive understanding of the process that shapes the perceptions and beliefs of job applicants about the firms for which they aspire to work for. Because individuals have the inherent desire to expand and enhance their social identities (e.g., personal, relational, and collective identitie…

  • Publication Bias in the Organizational Sciences

    Open AccessSven Kepe, Sven Kepes et al.ARTICLEOrganizational Research Methods2012

    Publication bias poses multiple threats to the accuracy of meta-analytically derived effect sizes and related statistics. Unfortunately, a review of the literature indicates that unlike meta-analytic reviews in medicine, research in the organizational sciences tends to pay little attention to this issue. In this article, the authors introduce advances in meta-analytic techniques from the medical and related sciences for a comprehensive assessment…
