Abstract / Description

This is the electronic supplementary material for the preprint: Testing the Usability of the Psychological Research Preregistration-Quantitative (PRP-QUANT) Template The Psychological Research Preregistration-Quantitative (PRP-QUANT) Template provides researchers with a comprehensive list of elements to consider when planning a psychological study. We assessed its usability and researchers’ intention to use it. We conducted a usability test (study 1) and surveyed researchers who submitted or reviewed a preregistration created with the template (study 2, authors: N = 19, reviewers: N = 29) regarding their impression of the template. For the usability test, we recruited participants via the mailing lists of the German Psychological Society, the American Psychological Association, and the British Psychological Society, and social media. Participants answered selected template and web probing items and provided an overall rating (N = 88). Based on the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT), we expected that the intention to use the template is influenced by performance expectancy (moderated by age), effort expectancy (moderated by age and experience), and social influence (moderated by age, experience, and voluntariness, N = 60). The results suggest that the PRP-QUANT Template is suitable for different research areas within psychology, is evaluated as effective, and perceived positively. Performance expectancy and all predictors combined significantly predicted researchers’ intention to use the template.
