Key Issues
In this chapter, we address six questions:
- What flaws should you look for when reading a research
report?
- Why is it difficult to conduct a study that has power, internal validity, external validity, and construct validity?
- Why might you conduct a direct replication?
- How might a systematic replication have more power, construct validity, or external validity than the original study?
- What are the benefits of doing a conceptual replication?
- What strategies can you use to build on someone else's research?
