复制对于验证正确的结果、筛选出假阳性的早期发现以及提高估计效果的准确性和精确度至关重要。然而,某些类型的看似成功的复制可能会产生一种虚假的概念,即增加可信度,如果它们是由同一个团队执行的,并且传播或扩展了原始发现所犯的相同错误。除了同一个团队的复制,其他团队的复制也可能屈服于近亲繁殖,如果它不能强烈地保持其独立性。这些模式包括服从复制和强制复制。我讨论这些复制模式的背景下,协会和影响的心理科学,借鉴的批评Coyne和德福格德之间的拟议关联D型人格和心血管疾病的死亡率和其他经验的例子。(C)2012年由Elsevier Inc.出版
Replication is essential for validating correct results, sorting out false-positive early discoveries, and improving the accuracy and precision of estimated effects. However, some types of seemingly successful replication may foster a spurious notion of increased credibility, if they are performed by the same team and propagate or extend the same errors made by the original discoveries. Besides same-team replication, replication by other teams may also succumb to inbreeding, if it cannot fiercely maintain its independence. These patterns include obedient replication and obliged replication. I discuss these replication patterns in the context of associations and effects in the psychological sciences, drawing from the criticism of Coyne and de Voogd of the proposed association between type D personality and cardiovascular mortality and other empirical examples.
