“…Again, current theoretical models would not expect a sex-dependent impact of red; rather, color effects are assumed to be universal. More importantly, several close replications of the experiments reported in Elliot et al (2007) were unable to reproduce the original findings (e.g., Steele et al, 2018) and related effects (e.g., cognitive effects of processing the word red; Gnambs, Kovacs, & Stiglbauer, 2020). The conflicting findings on red color effects in achievement situations are also evident in Table 1, which summarizes the initial and most recent study results for different cognitive measures.…”
