30.032 - Opening the File Drawer for Innovation in Task Value Intervention

Fri, April 28, 12:25 to 1:55pm, Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center, Floor: Meeting Room Level, Room 210 A

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

Failures to replicate offer critical opportunities for promoting inquiry, insight, and innovation in the sciences. As with most scientific disciplines, motivation sciences suffer file drawer problems when failures to replicate go unpublished. With the growing popularity of task-value interventions, it is imperative to determine factors that ensure successful outcomes, and importantly includes knowing and eliminating design features of unsuccessful attempts to intervene. This symposium aims to remediate file drawer bias in the motivation sciences by providing a forum to promulgate valuable information from task value intervention studies that do not replicate previously published findings. Presenters will describe null findings from ongoing task-value intervention research programs, discuss plausible explanations, and make evidence-based recommendations for improving implementation efforts to promote future success.
