How can replication help researchers avoid persistent Type I and Type II errors

What will be an ideal response?


Replication helps avoid persistent Type I errors because a single study may result in a finding that is not reliable and that will disappear in further research. With replication, we are not likely to be victimized by random error that led to a spurious result. Replication helps avoid persistent Type II errors because a single study may erroneously miss a relationship between variables in a single study; with replication, the relationship is likely to emerge.
