“…The quality of the report (by current standards) is related to the strength of evidence for publication bias. Galak and Meyvis (2011) showed that anticipation of a repeat exposure to an unpleasant situation (e.g., a boring task) leads to higher aversive ratings for the memory of the previous exposure. Table 1 shows the main statistical properties of eight experiments that consistently showed this effect.…”

Like other scientists, psychologists believe experimental replication to be the final arbiter for determining the validity of an empirical finding. Reports in psychology journals often attempt to prove the validity of a hypothesis or theory with multiple experiments that replicate a finding. Unfortunately, these efforts are sometimes misguided because in a field like experimental psychology, ever more successful replication does not necessarily ensure the validity of an empirical finding. When psychological experiments are analyzed with statistics, the rules of probability dictate that random samples should sometimes be selected that do not reject the null hypothesis, even if an effect is real. As a result, it is possible for a set of experiments to have too many successful replications. When there are too many successful replications for a given set of experiments, a skeptical scientist should be suspicious that null or negative findings have been suppressed, the experiments were run improperly, or the experiments were analyzed improperly. This article describes the implications of this observation and demonstrates how to test for too much successful replication by using a set of experiments from a recent research paper.

“…Again: The Effect of Anticipated Continuation on Retrospective Discomfort (Galak and Meyvis, 2011), we find the following observation: "Across 7 laboratory studies and 1 field study, we demonstrated that people remembered an unpleasant experience as more aversive when they expected this experience to return than when they had no such expectation" (p. 63). Note how the experience was the same, but the affect assigned to it was different, a function of a new context whereby a different affective value is assigned to the stimulus.…”

To approach the complexity of dynamic neural informational exchange across active brain anatomy as revealed by modern quantitative technology such as MEG, PET, and fMRI, a framework which will define that data is required. Psychoanalysis provides that frame of reference, where the "astronomical" complexity of neuronal systems can be assessed and understood while performing their cognitive functions in a known metapsychological context. As physicists simplify highly complex stellar phenomenon and their effects upon planetary motion, we can use a "perturbation-theoretic framework," and enter metapsychology as an initial prediction to define the complex dynamic system. First, this idea will be placed within an historical context, and then, three primary psychical systems will be delineated through reference to current research in cognitive neuroscience, and, the Freudian picture of dynamic neurotic nosogenesis. Next, by using metapsychology in three specific perturbation-theoretic intrasystemic approaches, general experimental designs are presented, some with an unconscious stressor, which will provide the context needed to assess intrarelated informational exchange across the subsystems of the functioning brain. In time, this interdisciplinary approach may well lead to the development of assessment tools able to diagnose mental illness in moments, and reveal the type of unconscious content which is currently functioning to create illness.
