Factors impacting effective altruism: revisiting heuristics and biases in charity in a replication and extension registered report of Baron and Szymanska (2011) by Mannix Chan, Gilad Feldman

“…We found support for the effects of a preference for lower perceived waste (d = 0.70, 95% CI [0.41, 0.99]), lower past costs (d = 0.59, 95% CI [0.16, 1.02]), for the ingroup (d = 0.52, 95% CI [0.47, 0.58]), for having some diversification between charities (d = 0.63, 95% CI [0.47, 0.78] for single projects; d = 1.18, 95% CI [1.00, 1.36] for several projects versus one) and against forced charity (d = 0.29, 95% CI [0.21, 0.37]; nominally replicated, but has caveats regarding validity); as at least four of our five hypotheses were found to replicate, we conclude this as being a successful replication. …”
