Call for Unpublished Studies on Processing Fluency

We are a team of researchers conducting a meta-analysis on processing fluency in marketing/consumer behavior context. As the paper is currently under review, we would like to remain anonymous. We are seeking unpublished or in-progress studies (including working papers, manuscripts under review, thesis projects, or “file-drawer” results) that experimentally manipulate subjective processing fluency.

Inclusion focus:

  • Experiments with two comparable groups manipulated to experience high vs. low subjective fluency (e.g., perceptual fluency via font readability/contrast)
  • Marketing / consumer behavior outcomes, such as purchase intention, willingness to pay, product choice, brand evaluation, product attitude, ad evaluation, or related consumer judgments/decisions.

What we need to extract effects:

To include a study, we need sufficient information to compute an effect size. Please provide, where possible:

  • Group-level means and standard deviations (or standard errors) and sample sizes per condition.
  • A brief description of the study procedure, including:
    • What exactly was manipulated to create high vs. low fluency
    • The study context (stimuli/materials; product category; setting; online vs. lab)
    • Outcome measures and timing (e.g., immediate vs. delayed judgments)

If you have relevant studies (including null results), we would be very grateful if you could contact us by February 17th, 2026.
