Question

current attempt in progress
dr. triandis shares in her study that psychology, as a science, is being faced with a replication crisis that is causing researchers to take a hard look at the methods that they use. what is this replication crisis?

the results of past studies are frequently not obtained when that research is conducted again.
modern researchers are not being taught about the basics of research ethics and are conducting unethical studies.
the use of modern computers to calculate research statistics is threatening our ability to draw objective conclusions from data.
research institutions are increasingly barring positions to women and underrepresented groups.

Explanation:

To determine the correct answer, we analyze each option:

• Option 1: The replication crisis in psychology (and other sciences) refers to the situation where repeating a previous study often fails to yield the same results. This matches the definition of a replication crisis.
• Option 2: Replication crisis is not about research ethics training or unethical studies.
• Option 3: Replication crisis is not related to computer - based statistical calculations threatening objectivity.
• Option 4: Replication crisis has nothing to do with barring positions to certain groups.

Answer:

A. The results of past studies are frequently not obtained when that research is conducted again.
