Abstract | Status quo bias is the phenomenon that people tend to prefer sticking with the status quo over change, even when change may be more beneficial. In a Registered Report with an American online Amazon Mechanical Turk sample using CloudResearch (N = 1493), we conducted a replication and extensions of Experiments 1 and 2 from Dinner et al. (2011). we found support for the status quo bias on the outcome of decisions (V=.14). Regarding theoretical causes of the status quo, We found support for an association between the status quo and direct implied endorsement (r=.06, 95%CI [.01, .11]) and a negative association between the status quo and perceived effort (r = -.07, 95%CI [-.12, -.02]). Extending the replication by manipulating default options, we found support for the default effect on the outcome of decisions (V=.12) and the status quo bias on the preference of decisions(F(2,1484) = 6.29, p = .002; η²p= .008). Overall, we conclude empirical support for the status quo bias and default effect on the final decision under everyday decision-making.
