Replication involves repeating a study to verify the results and establish the reliability of the findings. This is done to ensure that the phenomenon being studied is real and not just a fluke. Meta-analysis involves combining the results of multiple studies to reach a conclusion, experience sampling involves collecting data on a participant's experiences at random intervals throughout the day, and correlational research involves examining the relationship between variables. None of these options involve repeating a study done by another scientist.
