Conducting a field experiment and a survey study of the same phenomenon would provide different types of data collected in different contexts, which would help to confirm or refute the researcher's initial findings, increasing the validity of the results. This approach would also allow the researcher to examine the robustness of his findings in different settings or contexts, making it the best option for triangulating the original study's results. Conducting two more laboratory studies using different dependent variables would not necessarily address the issue of social dominance in men and women. Conducting another laboratory study using different independent variables only approximates the same design, while a meta-analysis of all laboratory studies might result in confirmation bias, using only the data that aligns interpretation of previous laboratory studies.
