最近心理学界的争议引发了关于心理学研究的性质和质量的讨论。备受关注的一个话题是心理科学中复制的作用。本文利用 5 年影响因子最高的 100 种心理学期刊的完整出版历史，概述了自 1900 年以来心理学研究中的重复现象。这项调查显示，大约 1.6% 的心理学出版物在文本中使用了“重复”一词。对随机选择的 500 篇文章进行更彻底的分析发现，使用“复制”一词的文章中只有 68% 是实际复制，总体复制率为 1.07%。与其他领域之前的研究结果相反，这项研究发现心理学期刊中的大多数重复研究报告了与其原始研究相似的发现（即，它们是成功的重复）。然而，当原始文章和复制文章之间的作者身份没有重叠时，复制成功的可能性就会大大降低。此外，尽管存在许多系统性偏差，但近几十年来重复发表的速度有所增加。
Recent controversies in psychology have spurred conversations about the nature and quality of psychological research. One topic receiving substantial attention is the role of replication in psychological science. Using the complete publication history of the 100 psychology journals with the highest 5-year impact factors, the current article provides an overview of replications in psychological research since 1900. This investigation revealed that roughly 1.6% of all psychology publications used the term replication in text. A more thorough analysis of 500 randomly selected articles revealed that only 68% of articles using the term replication were actual replications, resulting in an overall replication rate of 1.07%. Contrary to previous findings in other fields, this study found that the majority of replications in psychology journals reported similar findings to their original studies (i.e., they were successful replications). However, replications were significantly less likely to be successful when there was no overlap in authorship between the original and replicating articles. Moreover, despite numerous systemic biases, the rate at which replications are being published has increased in recent decades.
