General Information

Generation of Randomness

When not specified otherwise, we used a quantum-based random number generator (qRNG) Quantis by idquantique to generate true randomness and coupled the outcome of these random events to the display of relevant stimulus material. A micro-Pk effect should result in a (temporary; see change of evidence) biasing of the qRNG outcome corresponding to the presentation of more or less of the relevant stimuli.

Online Studies

If an experiment is classified as an online study, it was set up with the software jsPsych (Leeuw et al., 2023) and running on a dedicated web server in the departments IT infrastructure. A qRNG is directly connected to the web server via USB and provides random events without a buffer.

Procedural Details

Please refer to the experimental programs attached to the resources of each study for all procedural details, like stimulus presentation timings, questionnaires, etc. where not specified explicitly.

Preregistration

The column Prereg. shows whether a study was preregistered. A check mark links to the registration. Two early lab studies (Loving Kind and One-armed Bandit) were preregistered internally for training purposes, which is marked as internal and links to the document. Studies conducted in empirical courses may have been preregistered as a course exercise; these preregistrations are not available and the studies are listed as not preregistered.
