The following article is being retracted: Gino, F., Kouchaki, M., & Casciaro, T. (2020). Why connect?

Moral consequences of networking with a promotion or prevention focus. Journal of Personality and

Social Psychology, 119(6), 1221–1238. https://doi.org/10.1037/pspa0000226

This retraction is at the request of the Research Integrity Officer at Harvard Business School after the results

of an investigation into data for Study 3a collected and analyzed by Francesca Gino. The investigation

identified unexplained discrepancies between (a) the data associated with Study 3a in the Open Science

Framework platform and (b) the original, raw data collected by Qualtrics. These discrepancies, which

involved 28% of the total data from Study 3a, biased the published results in the direction of the study

hypothesis. A reanalysis of the original data invalidated the previous conclusion from the study. The

report of the investigation did not concern either Maryam Kouchaki or Tiziana Casciaro, who agree

with the retraction.
