In the general discussion we included the following note:
"This replication presented us with a special challenge, regarding some of the events included in the original stimuli of Fischhoff (1975). Events C and D used in the original were from a classic clinical psychology book by Ellis from the 1960s. The original authors reflected on the use of these stimuli and noted that the scenarios described patients "in terms that fit now–antiquated mores and theories" (p. 11; Fischhoff, 2007; also see interview in Klein, Hegarty, & Fischhoff, 2017). In correspondence with the original author and the editor we felt it needed to include a warning note that that these stimuli should no longer be used in follow-up research. We removed the reporting of these materials and analyses of these events from the manuscript and the supplementary." .
And in the supplementary:
"We noted in the general discussion the challenge regarding the use of Events C and D from Fischhoff (1975) and concluded that "In correspondence with the original author and the editor we felt it needed to include a warning note that that these stimuli should no longer be used in follow-up research. We removed the reporting of these materials and analyses of these events from the manuscript and the supplementary. ".
We note that the stimuli is still included in the frozen pre-registration and the data from these events are still provided on the OSF. We further note that not reporting these in our manuscript is a deviation from the pre-registration, done in consultation with the editor and in correspondence with the original author. We feel this deviation is warranted given the circumstances."
