I “got” 2⁄5 of the above, before reading they were inverted.
When I took a psychology survey course in college, Dr. John Sabini gave a lot of attention to social psychology experiments, and much of the class was very surprised at their results; they didn’t say they “would have predicted them.” Of course Sabini may have been cherry-picking results that were likely to surprise. But I’ve seen it claimed elsewhere that social psychologists in the ’60s were largely preoccupied with producing results that would grab a lot of attention by being counterintuitive.
