***This is the project page of the replication of Förster et al. (2008).*** **Project Abstract:** To test their Global/Local Processing Style model, Förster, Liberman, and Kuschel (2008) found that after priming a concept (such as “aggressive”), people assimilate that concept into their social judgments after a “global” prime (e.g., rate a person as being more aggressive compared to a no prime condition), or contrast their judgment away from the concept after a “local” prime (e.g., rate the person as being less aggressive compared to a no prime condition). This effect was not replicated by Reinhard (2015) in the Reproducibility Project: Psychology. However, the authors of the original study criticized the replication for not having been sufficiently ambiguous or applicable for detecting the original effect. The current ManyLabs 5 investigation sought to reconcile the differences between the original and replication studies by testing Reinhard’s (2015) protocol and a revised protocol, responding to the original authors’ critiques that Reinhard’s protocol fell short on applicability and target ambiguity. Teams from nine universities contributed to these replications. We first conducted a pilot study and successfully selected ambiguous scenarios for each site (N = 530). We then piloted the aggression prime to attempt to meet applicability at five different sites (N = 363) and were not successful. In agreement with the first author of the original report, we replaced the prime with a task that was found to be successful in a pilot of another project (McCarthy et al., 2018). For the final replication study (N = 1460), we did not find moderation by protocol type, with patterns in both protocols inconsistent with the effects observed in the original study. We discuss these findings and possible explanations. **To find your way across this page:** The results of Pilot 1 can be found [here][1]. The results of Pilot 2 can be found [here][2].

The code (i.e., code for data analysis and power analyses) can be found under our [code component][5]. Materials for both pilots and our main study in all languages are under our [materials component][6]. We also included a file that tracked the changes from our Results-Blind Stage 1 manuscript to our Results-Included Stage 2 manuscript [here][7] (this file needs to be downloaded to view the changes). *Note that minor wording changes and clarifications to the manuscript were added during copyediting.* [1]: https://osf.io/tzb82/ [2]: https://osf.io/ef7wg/ [3]: https://osf.io/whm46/ [4]: https://osf.io/mk3d7/ [5]: https://osf.io/k27vc/ [6]: https://osf.io/nt3pe/ [7]: https://osf.io/txfk6/
