Reliability focuses on the replicability of a study, and replication in any educational research study can be difficult, if not impossible, because behavior and environments are always changing.
It is most appropriate to determine the replicability of results by performing a close replication in an early stage of the model building process.
This means that sometimes the replication attempt will not be comprehensive enough to draw any global conclusion about the replicability of a given study as a whole, instead focussing on the replicability of certain findings within the study.
The recommendation is to check for interaction with other polymorphisms (see, for example the replicability of 'novelty seeking', where interaction of at least three gene loci made replication uncertain [ 122].
We have a system for communicating results in which the need for retraction is exploding, the replicability of research is diminishing, and the most standard measure of journal quality is becoming a farce.
Yet excellent journalism typically follows a form of the scientific method, prioritizing evidence, transparency, and the replicability of findings; journalism grounded in an ideology can be discredited by the practitioner's preëmptive assumptions.
Similarities and differences between student samples may influence the replicability of findings.
First, the relatively small sample sizes may affect the replicability of results.
Study 2 evaluated the replicability of these findings in an independent sample.
The authors are grateful to an anonymous reviewer who emphasized this concern about the replicability of these findings.
To further assess the replicability of these findings, we calculated these same measures in a second dataset.
