A large-scale replication study by researchers of the University of Amsterdam (UvA) and Maastricht University (UM) throws doubt on the famous Ten Commandments study. In 2008 a landmark experiment in the US found evidence to the effect that people are less likely to cheat after a moral reminder. This result formed the basis for an influential theory of cheating. The first finished project from the NWO programme Replication Studies questions important scientific research.
