This repository is hosting materials for a reproducibility tutorial in which we re-analyse publicly available data.
Topolinski and Sparenberg (2012, press release in German here) report that clockwise movements induce psychological states of temporal progression and an orientation toward the future and novelty.
Among other experiments, they tested whether self--reported experiential openness is influenced by rotational movements.
The authors use the "Openness to Experience" subscale from the "Neuroticism -- Extroversion -- Openness" personality inventory (NEO) for their study.
They found that participants who turn kitchen rolls clockwise report more openness to new experiences (Experiment 2 in their paper), if one controls for mood and arousal.
In 2015 Wagenmakers et. al. published a replications study that could not confirm these results.
The full data are available at https://osf.io/uszvx/, and as part of the JASP
program with the name Kitchen_Rolls.csv.
