Expression of Concern: Dynamics of Communicator and Audience Power: The Persuasiveness of Competence versus Warmth
Abstract
Outlined below are the six key claims assessed by the Investigative Committee (IC) and the IC's evaluation of each.These are the points the IC determined readers should be aware of when drawing inferences from the article. Issue #1: Dyads do not matchThe anonymous report noted that two different files contain data regarding the dyads studied in Experiment 1.The calculated statistics from the "manipulation check" data (one row per participant) match the results given in the paper.In contrast, the calculated statistics from the "recipient" data (one row per dyad) do not match the results given in the paper.The first author proposed that the critical variable in the "manipulation check" data (representing the withindyad difference score) was calculated using the wrong formula and that the "recipient" data are correct.Under that reconciliation, the calculated test statistics differ from those reported in the article, but the IC did not find evidence that conclusions vary substantively.
