In recent years, a substantial body of research has established that questionable research practices (QRPs) and p-hacking amongst researchers are alarmingly widespread (Banks, Rogelberg, Woznyj, Landis, & Rupp, 2016; Fiedler & Schwarz, 2016; John, Loewenstein, & Prelec, 2012). But so far, little is known about their prevalence in the student population, or coverage throughout undergraduate education. As the researchers of the future, today’s students will substantially shape the scientific field of tomorrow, and therefore should be educated about sound research practices early on. However, regardless of their preferred future occupation, students have a vital interest in ensuring their education is based on reliable and open research, since such research results lay the foundation for their future professional activities (Konferenzrat der Psychologie-Fachschaften-Konferenz, 2018). Therefore, as members of the Students’ Open Science Initiative of the German “Psychologie-Fachschaften-Konferenz” (SOSIP), we conducted a nationwide survey to assess the current state of teaching practices in psychology regarding QRPs and open science. |
