The famous Pygmalion Effect is unreplicable. The bad science that produced it provoked a replication crisis, but it didn't take. The depressing full story is here:https://thenewstatistics.com/itns/2018/04/03/weve-been-here-before-the-replication-crisis-over-the-pygmalion-effect/ …

Well, Pygmalion SFP effects are "unreplicable" goes a bit too far, I think. More like "wildly overstated." Kinda like: implicit bias, stereotype threat, microaggressions, social priming, and so much more. This chart is based on data reported in my 2012 book:pic.twitter.com/NEGumr5DgR
Like everything in social psychology, except the stereotype stuff. Is there anything else that replicates with large effect sizes? PC or not PC.

Do persuasion techniques count as social psychology? I think foot in the door and door in the face techniques replicate fairly well and have moderate effects on verbal compliance (though not always on behavior). This meta-analysis says d = .4 for DITF:https://nca.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/03637751.2012.697631#.WseJ-y749nI …

r=.126 is d = 0.25. Add some publication bias, and this will shrink to perhaps d = 0.20. Is there any other replicable effect of at least d = 0.50?

Part IV of this blog summarizes things I have replicated in my lab, and things outside my lab that I think are pretty replicable. No effect sizes here, tho:https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/rabble-rouser/201602/are-most-published-social-psychology-findings-false …
