Quizplus · Accepted Answer

By replicating an experiment while using a different specific way of manipulating the independent variable, the researcher can reduce concerns about confounds, which are extraneous variables that may affect the results of the study. This allows the researcher to increase confidence in the validity of the results of the study. Archetypes are universal symbols that are part of the collective unconscious and are not relevant in this context. Belief perseverance refers to the tendency to cling to one's initial beliefs even in the face of contradictory evidence and is not relevant in this context. Demand characteristics are cues that may lead participants to guess the purpose of the study and alter their behavior accordingly and are not relevant in this context.
