Document Summary

Conceptual replication: a replication study in which researchers examine the same research question (the same conceptual variables) but use different procedures for operationalizing the variables. Cultural psychology: a sub-discipline of psychology concerned with how cultural settings shape a person"s thoughts, feelings, and behaviour, and how these in turn shape cultural settings. Direct replication: 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. Ecological validity: the extent to which the tasks and manipulations of a study are similar to real- world contexts. Experimental realism: the extent to which a laboratory experiment is designed so that participants experience authentic emotions, motivations, and behaviours. Field setting: a real-world setting for a research study. Generalization mode: the intent of researchers to generalize the findings from the samples and procedures in their study to other populations or contexts.
