The purpose of this project is to replicate Banerjee, Chatterjee, and Sinha's (2012) finding that recalling unethical behavior leads people to perceive the room as darker compared to recalling an ethical behavior. We were unable to replicate the original effects and a meta-analysis including the original and replication effects indicated the effect size was likely small and not different from zero.
