jpsp-study-design

Use when designing the multi-study package for a Journal of Personality and Social Psychology (JPSP) manuscript — sequencing studies, powering each one, choosing experimental / longitudinal / dyadic designs, and planning preregistration. Designs the study set; it does not collect or fabricate data.

# Study Design — The Multi-Study Package (jpsp-study-design)

This is the skill that most distinguishes JPSP from short-report journals. A JPSP paper is a
**coherent set of related studies** built to test a theory, not a single experiment. The package must
*converge*: each study should add something the previous one could not establish, and the set should
withstand the question "could one study break the whole story?"

## When to trigger

- Planning the sequence and roles of studies in the package
- Powering each study and the package as a whole
- Choosing designs (experiment, survey, longitudinal, dyadic/APIM, intensive-longitudinal, archival)
- Deciding what to preregister and what is exploratory
