TL;DR: The authors compared variation in the replicability of 13 classic and contemporary effects across 36 independent samples totaling 6,344 participants and found that the results of these experiments are more dependent on the effect itself than on the sample and setting used to investigate the effect.

TL;DR: This paper conducted preregistered replications of 28 classic and contemporary published findings, with protocols that were peer reviewed in advance, to examine variation in effect magnitudes across samples and settings, and found that very little heterogeneity was attributable to the order in which the tasks were performed or whether the task were administered in lab versus online.

TL;DR: Singlism is an outgrowth of a largely uncontested set of beliefs, the Ideology of Marriage and Family as mentioned in this paper, which assumes that the sexual partnership is the one truly important peer relationship and that people who have such partnerships are happier and more fulfilled than those who do not.

TL;DR: A widespread form of bias has slipped under our cultural and academic radar People who are single are targets of singlism: negative stereotypes and discrimination Compared to married or coupled people, who are often described in very positive terms, singles are assumed to be immature, maladjusted, and self-centered Although the perceived differences between people who have and have not married are large, the actual differences are not as discussed by the authors.
