| Do previous moral behaviors that give one moral credentials make people more likely to engage in morally questionable behaviors later? | Moral credentials make people more likely to engage in subsequent morally questionable acts. | ANOVA | Amazon Mechanical Turk via CloudResearch (with .90 power to detect a d = 0.25 credential effect) | We used the same test as in our replication target (Study 2 in Monin & Miller, 2001), albeit with a minor tweak to test our extension hypothesis. | There could be multiple reasons behind a non-replication. Our evaluation of the replication outcomes will follow LeBel et al.’s (2019) criteria. | The moral credential model of moral licensing |
| Do moral credentials work better in licensing immoral behaviors in the same domain than in a different domain? | Moral credentials work better in licensing immoral behaviors in the same domain than in a different domain. | N/A | Ambiguous moral transgressions (in the study: expression of conceivably prejudiced preference) are better licensed by credentials in the same domain than in a different domain (Effron & Monin, 2010). | |||

| Is trait reputational concern negatively associated with the expression of conceivably prejudiced preferences? | Trait reputational concern is negatively associated with the expression of conceivably prejudiced preferences. | Multiple linear regression | We want to examine whether and under what conditions (particularly, with vs. without credentials) do reputational concern predicts expression of conceivably prejudiced preferences. | N/A | N/A | |
