@satrevik how can you know what the points will be before finishing the analyses? Or do you mean writing the abstract once you've finished all analyses and drafted all figures?
@elduvelle Yes, I mean when the analyses are done. But now I also sometimes write #RegisteredReport abstracts, where i write "The hypothesis was [supported / not supported] with a [mediocre / small / medium / large] effect size."
We found support for the associations most frequently cited in the literature: #conscientiousness <-> #compliance, and #neuroticism <-> #perceivedRisk. Other associations that are only occasionally seen in the literature were less strongly indicated, and there were some novel discoveries.

We received expert #PeerReview input that led us to adjust and improve our research plan. (3/3)
Our #RegisteredReport is now published in #PersonalityScience: https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/27000710251378402 We tested all #big5personality traits against COVID-19 #PerceivedThreat and #InfectionPrevention. (1/3)
