It is one of the largest studies in the history of psychology. And it all started at Ashland University.
It marks the completion of the first study undertaken by the Psychological Science Accelerator, the brainchild of AU associate professor of psychology Christopher R. Chartier. The worldwide network of laboratories involving more than 700 psychological scientists was launched in 2017 by a single blog post from Chartier, who reasoned a global collaboration could do for psychology what CERN – the European Organization for Nuclear Research – has done for particle physics.
