A follow-up investigation comprising five related experiments failed to find an effect of signing at the beginning of a form on dishonesty.
Notes on verification
Directly matches verbatim abstract language from the PNAS paper (Kristal, Whillans, Bazerman et al.), corroborated by PMC, PubMed, and independent commentary (Data Colada, Gelman) describing the same five conceptual replication experiments plus a sixth direct replication that failed to reproduce the original 2012 'sign first' dishonesty effect.
