    Sensitivity of the facial feedback effect to experimental contexts1 questions

    1. Stage-specificity and mechanisms of the posed-smiling facial-feedback effect on memory for emotional facial expressions

    Robustness of mood-congruent memory effects4 questions

    1. Asymmetric mood-congruent memory for autobiographical events: when and why does current mood change the rated intensity of negative memories?

    2. Mechanisms and boundary conditions of discrete emotion-congruent false memories in the DRM paradigm

    3. Which encoding operations are minimally sufficient for mood-congruent memory in the autobiographical recall task: episodic generation, recognition-based judgment, self-referent evaluation, or elaborative processing of valenced content?

    4. Mood-congruent false memory in major depression: replication with personally relevant stimuli, disorder-specificity, and clinical significance

    Mechanistic explanations for replication failures of social priming effects2 questions

    1. Unconscious semantic-to-action priming versus experimenter-expectancy transmission in the elderly-priming walking-speed paradigm

    2. Hostile priming of person impressions: which experimental designs and moderators, if any, yield reliably detectable effects, and what accounts for the historical literature's large effects

    Whether bilingual cognitive advantages are caused by publication bias4 questions

    1. The bilingual executive-control advantage after 2013: decline effect, publication bias, and the durability of the shift toward challenging findings

    2. Which publication-bias correction method most accurately estimates the true bilingual executive-functioning advantage?

    3. Decomposing Publication Bias in Bilingualism-Executive-Control Research and the True Magnitude and Boundary Conditions of the Bilingual Advantage

    4. Does a publication bias against negative results exist in bilingualism research? Establishing the true publication landscape for positive, mixed, null, and negative bilingual-effects findings

    Selective reporting issues in sleep and memory consolidation research4 questions

    1. Does sleep play a unique role in human motor memory consolidation? Controlled behavioral, developmental, and neurophysiological adjudication

    2. Does sleep protect human declarative memories from retroactive interference? Establishing the existence, size, moderators, and sleep-stage mechanisms of the Sleep × Interference effect

    3. The evidential status of selective sleep-dependent memory consolidation: real effect, publication artifact, or unmapped moderators?

    4. Whether sleep protects newly encoded verbal memories from retroactive interference: existence, size, and boundary conditions of the protection effect

    Whether loss aversion can be alternatively explained by attention and computational noise3 questions

    1. Origins and contextual determinants of the pre-valuation (starting-point) bias in loss-averse mixed-gamble rejection

    2. Causal role of gaze in the valuation-bias component of loss aversion and the noradrenergic mechanism of the pupil-linked response bias

    3. The origin of loss aversion: how loss-averse choice arises despite reported gain-first attentional and limbic priority

    Cross-cultural measurement invariance failure of psychological scales4 questions

    1. What evidence beyond measurement-invariance tests warrants the claim that the same construct is measured in the same way across groups?

    2. Sources of cross-national item non-equivalence of the Body Appreciation Scale-2 (BAS-2) and valid cross-cultural comparison of body appreciation

    3. Sources of differential item functioning and the cross-cultural validity of the Essential Resilience Scale: identifying the causes of Chinese–English non-invariance, establishing structural equivalence, and testing predictive validity for real post-adversity outcomes

    4. Quantifying the practical significance of measurement noninvariance in psychological scales and identifying the causes of widespread configural invariance failure

    Boundary conditions for the existence of choice overload effects4 questions

    1. When does choice overload occur? The unresolved boundary conditions and statistical adequacy of the too-much-choice effect

    2. Boundary conditions and mechanisms of choice overload: joint effects of choice-set size, time pressure, option complexity, and chooser differences on decision difficulty, satisfaction, and regret

    3. Boundary conditions of the choice overload effect: specifying when large assortments harm consumer choice and the moderating role of involvement

    4. A predictive theory of the too-much-choice (choice overload) effect: when and why increasing the number of options impairs choice

    Differences in the halo effect between real evaluations and experimental tasks1 questions

    1. Antecedents and malleability of the halo effect in teachers' judgements: the causal role of judgement certainty on the variance-based halo index

    Reproducibility and task heterogeneity of the ego depletion effect2 questions

    1. Mechanisms and boundary conditions of the ego-depletion effect: the unresolved agenda of the strength-model meta-analysis

    2. Task similarity, manipulation intensity, and the sign of sequential self-control aftereffects: when does prior self-control deplete and when does it facilitate?
