This repository contains research products associated with the publication.

The data_raw directory contains the data in CSV format; RData-files can be found in data_processed/.

The analyses herein were performed with the R package targets and can be rerun by executing the file _make.sh. Note that rerunning the analyses may take several days (see below). The analyses are run separately for each study and the results are stored in the directories mochasta1/_targets/ and mochasta2/_targets/. To run the analysis for Experiment 1 set the project variable in _make.sh to mochasta1 (and analogously for Experiment 2).

The Quarto files in the directories mochasta1 and mochasta2 create reports of the results of the analyses reported in the paper.

The Bayesian meta-analysis reported in the paper was performed by hand using the online Bayes factor calculator by Zoltan Dienes; hence, no code is provided for this analysis.

Software requirements

The version of R and all packages required to reproduce the anlysis are listed in the DESCRIPTION file. Additonally, it is required to install the mochasta package from this GitHub repository.

# Install the mochasta package from GitHub
remotes::install_github("crsh/mochasta")

# Install from a local copy of the repository
devtools::install("path/to/mochasta")

Computational requirements

Running all analyses may take severa on a Desktop computer even when Bayesian models are fit in parallel on 7 cores (current setting). To control the number of cores used for parallel processing, change the targets controller option in targets.r in the folders for each experiment.
