Cohen’s d 0.78b 0.60 0.30 (z =-3.88) p < .001 r = -.34

Note. aThe actual study reported a significant effect. Attempts to replicate the effect of temperature on social relations within the Many Labs Replication Project have failed, however [54].

bCohen’s d = .78 is reported in the paper. Calculating effect size from means and standard deviations using the Campbell effect size calculator available at http://www.campbellcollaboration.org/resources/effect_size_input.php results in d = .75, 95% C.I = [0.05; 1.46].
