Our field’s preoccupation with statistically significant effects has produced a number of distortions related to publication bias and general neglect of important non-effects (Schmidt & Oh, 2016). Imagine if medical researchers were unconcerned with understanding treatments that do not work! Following the recommendation of Aguinis et al (2020), among others, at AMD, negligible effects are welcome, so long as they constitute an interesting phenomenon with a surprising interpretation and have been produced with empirical methods that ensure sound measurement and strong statistical power. AMD also publishes preregistered studies in order to encourage authors to report compelling non-findings.
