重复实验通常是为了验证最初的发现，增加其外部效度，或研究治疗效果的边界条件。一个关键的和隐含的假设是，实验中的结果测量是足够可比的（即，等效）。我们认为，有很好的理由相信，这种等价性假设可能并不总是满足，因此应该进行实证检验。整合文献的实验复制和调查测量等效性，我们提供指导时，以及如何实验复制需要确定交叉复制等效。
ABSTRACT Replications of experiments are typically conducted to verify initial findings, increase their external validity, or to study the boundary conditions of treatment effects. A crucial and implicitly made assumption is that outcome measures in experiments are sufficiently comparable (i.e., equivalent) across experimental settings. We argue that there are good reasons to believe that this equivalence assumption may not always be met and should therefore be tested empirically. Integrating the literature on experimental replication and survey measurement equivalence, we provide guidance when and how experimental replicators need to determine cross-replication equivalence.
