Journal of experimental social psychology, 67, 68 82. https://doi. org/10. 1016/j. jesp. 2015. 10. 012. University p pool = key resource for behavioral research. But data quality varies over the course of the academic semester. Examines the time of semester variation in 10 known effects. Results: only weak effects found, mean characteristics do change slightly during the semester, but the data suggest these changes are mostly irrelevant for detecting effects. However, evidence does support differential sustained attention across the sem: more attention at beginning of sem, possibly related to lower levels of intrinsic motivation at end of sem, research questions. Present exp"t investigated the extent to which 10 psych effects and multiple individual difference variables varied across the academic sem method: students from a wide range of institutions procedure.
