Question

Which of the following is a fact about replications? There are two types of replications to consider—descriptive and inferential replications. Replication is a way of evaluating the external validity of research studies. A single failure to replicate is sufficient to conclude that the previous research is invalid. Scientific societies are encouraging systematic replications of important scientific findings.

Answer 1

D. Scientific societies are encouraging systematic replications of important scientific findings.

Step-by-step explanation:

Replication is a term used in psychological research that describes the repetition of a research study, for the purpose of validating previous research study, or to prevent the problem of generalization arising from a single study.

Hence, Scientific societies are encouraging systematic replications of important scientific findings so as to reach conclusion that holds true for other settings or population.
