Abstract
Preregistration, the practice of documenting and publishing a study protocol before data collection or analysis, helps to increase the transparency and reproducibility of research. However, despite active support for preregistration in psychology, it is still not the norm in the field. In our study, which was published as a Registered Report ([1], https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0281086), we explored psychologists' current attitudes, motivations, and obstacles regarding preregistration, as well as influences on their intention to preregister, to explore possible reasons for this. Our results indicate an overall positive outlook, as many researchers view preregistration positively and intend to preregister in the future. However, we also identified some obstacles currently hindering preregistration, which should be addressed to facilitate and foster this open science practice. In this talk, I will highlight some of the most important identified motivations and obstacles of preregistration in psychology.
