Baron and Hershey (1988) replication and extension hypotheses.


# HYPOTHESIS

Original

1 Decisions that resulted in successful outcomes are rated as better than decisions that resulted in failed outcomes.**

2 Participants who report thinking that judgments should not be based on outcomes demonstrate an outcome bias.**

Extensions

3a Successful outcomes are rated higher on outcome importance than failed outcomes.*

3b Perceived outcome importance partially accounts for (mediates) outcome bias.

4a Failed outcomes are rated as higher perceived level of responsibility of the decision-maker than in successful outcomes.*

4b Perceived decision-maker responsibility partially accounts for (mediates) outcome bias.

5a Decisions resulting in failed outcomes are perceived as less normative than decisions resulting in positive outcomes.

5b Perceived norms partially account for (mediates) outcome bias.

Note: ** Pre-registered hypotheses in both OSF pre-registrations. * Pre-registered hypotheses in one pre-registration. Two pre-registrations were created by independent analysts. Refer to Table 3 for details on the divergence between pre-registrations.
