Here are some of the details of some of the unreplicated studies (not scientifically specific - but you can always read the paper)

Replication Failures

- Disgust sensitivity predicts homophobia (no it doesn’t)

- Assimilation and contrast - the order of asking specific vs. general questions about the same domain matters (no it doesn’t)

- Priming Consumerism - being told you’re acting as a consumer reduces your trust in others (no it doesn’t)

- Moral Cleansing - people exposed to unethical things have an urge to cleanse themselves physically (no they don't)

- Priming Warmth - on warm days people have higher belief in global warming (no they don’t)

- Structure & Goal Pursuit - being exposed to structure improves goal pursuit (no it doesn't)

- Incidental Disfluency - making tasks incidentally difficult (hard to read fonts) - improves analytic performance (no it doesn’t)
