Document Summary
Means that s study has been conducted more than once and has yielded the same results. Inferential statistics (probabilities) help us determine the likelihood that the results of a study are unlikely to have happened by chance. P . 05: the result is not statistically significant, meaning that the researcher cannot rule out the possibility that the result is a chance occurrence from a population in which there is no relationship. Direct replication: repeat of an original study as closely as possible to the original, problem. Will repeat any flaws in the original study as well. Conceptual replication: studying the same research question but using different methods, at the abstract level, the variables in the study are the same, but the procedures for operationalizing the variables are different.
