<p>[IMPORTANT: Abstract, method, and results were written using a randomized dataset produced by Qualtrics to simulate what these sections will look like after data collection. These will be updated following the data collection. For the purpose of the simulation, we wrote things in past tense, but no pre-registration or data collection took place yet.]</p> <p>Arkes (1996) demonstrated a phenomenon of wastefulness avoidance, showing that people may compromise their own self-interest to avoid appearing wasteful. In a Registered Report experiment with a Prolific sample (N = 600), we conducted a replication and extensions of Studies 1, 2, and 3 from Arkes (1996). [The following findings are concluded from simulated random noise and will be updated after data collection.] We [found/failed to find] empirical support for making non-wasteful decisions in the movie package scenario in Study 1 (χ² = X.XX, 95% CI [X.XX, X.XX]), tax program scenario in Study 2 (χ² = X.XX, 95% CI [X.XX, X.XX]), and tent project scenario in Study 3 (χ² = X.XX, 95% CI [X.XX, X.XX]). Extending the replication, we added reasons for making economic decisions, willingness, and perceived wastefulness as extensions and [found/did not find support…]. Extending the replication, we added [...] and [found/did not find support…]. Overall, we conclude that …. Materials, data, and code are available on: https://osf.io/vgtkf/&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
