Replication Researches

Psychologists and other social science researchers often use replication studies to test the validity of existing studies.

Replication in psychology is a way to test an new experiment result in order to reproduce similar results using similar conditions and methods.

When studies are replicated and achieve the same or similar results as the original study, it gives lower validity to the findings.

Replication can only confirm validity of the research.

When replicating previous psychological experiments, it's important to follow the exact procedures of the original experiment so you can accurately replicate it.

It's important to list and gather any equipment or materials that may help you create the correct environmental conditions to perform the experiment.

After replicating research, analyzing data may not expose differences from the original experiment's results.

There are two types of Replication researches, direct and indirect researches

Randomness in the selection process of to-be-replicated target papers is critical for replication success or failure.

Exact replications tell us whether the original findings are true, at least under the exact conditions tested.
