It is a question within which numerous questions are embedded; thus, the search is not for one answer but for numerous answers. And the search is a continuous process in which the answering of a specific question alters the nature of said question and all subsequent questions; consequently, ...
We also note that, by design, some replications will fail. If the power is 90%, then 10% of studies will not replicate by chance. 3.2 Experimental procedure In our NTU study, we closely follow the original experimental procedure in Chen and Chen (2011) for our ingroup and outgroup with...
