Generalizability Part 2 Final

Question 1

generalizing to other studies

Answer 1

can other reserchs get the same effects you did

Question 2

exact(direct) replication:

Answer 2

other resercher uses your exact operationalization

Question 3

conceptual replication

Answer 3

same constructs,slightly different operationalization

is your effect specific to ur IV/DV,or does it generalize to other,similar techniques

Question 4

why do direct replications

Answer 4

Oh no! It didn’t work but it worked for those other people. I’ll just keep this
to myself.

Great. It worked. But someone else already found this result so who cares if I found the exact same thing?

Question 5

why use conceptual replications

Answer 5

Hmm it didn’t work. I guess my operational definitions were too different. I’ll just keep this to myself.

Great! It worked! I can now say the effect generalizes to other
operational definitions. I’m going to publish this result

Question 6

are some efects general across the literature

Answer 6

-literature review
-meta analysis

Question 7

literature review

Answer 7

a type of article where you don’t run a study
-systematically gather published evidence
-summarize for others
-may write a paper like this in your pysch classes

Question 8

meta-analysis

Answer 8

use statistical techniques to combine studies from many studies in an area

Question 9

generalizing across situations

Answer 9

-we are intersted in real world behaviour

-tends to study behaviour in highly artificial settings

-how well do lab effects translate to real life

Question 10

generalizing across situations

Answer 10

-can it be generalized in real world situations?

Question 11

generalization(external validity)

Answer 11

-across people
-across reserch/studies
-across situations
