Document Summary

To be important, a study must be replicable: replicable. Pertaining to a study whose results of a measure have been obtained when the study was repeated. Result has actually been replicated, not that it just can be replicated: replication studies. A replication study in which researchers repeat the original study as closely as possible to see whether the original effect shows up in the newly collected data. Can never replicate original study in every way. If any threats to internal validity or construct validity in original study, such threats would be repeated in direct replication too. A replication study in which researchers examine the same research question but use different procedures for operationalizing the variables. Variables in study are same but procedures for. A replication study in which researchers replicate their original study but add variables or conditions that test additional questions. Replicate finding researchers noticed in previous study; extend original study to new populations; introduce new situational variable.
