A survey in the United States revealed that an alarmingly large percentage of
university psychologists admitted having used questionable research practices
that can contaminate the research literature with false positive and biased
findings. We conducted a replication of this study among Italian research
psychologists to investigate whether these findings generalize to other
countries. All the original materials were translated into Italian, and members
of the Italian Association of Psychology were invited to participate via an
online survey. The percentages of Italian psychologists who admitted to having
used ten questionable research practices were similar to the results obtained in
the United States although there were small but significant differences in
self-admission rates for some QRPs. Nearly all researchers (88%) admitted using
at least one of the practices, and researchers generally considered a practice
possibly defensible if they admitted using it, but Italian researchers were much
less likely than US researchers to consider a practice defensible. Participants'
estimates of the percentage of researchers who have used these practices were
greater than the self-admission rates, and participants estimated that
researchers would be unlikely to admit it. In written responses, participants
argued that some of these practices are not questionable and they have used some
practices because reviewers and journals demand it. The similarity of results
obtained in the United States, this study, and a related study conducted in
Germany suggest that adoption of these practices is an international phenomenon
and is likely due to systemic features of the international research and
publication processes.
