Replication involves repeating a research study to verify whether its findings extend to a new group of research participants and to different circumstances. Random sampling involves selecting participants from a larger population in a way that every individual has an equal chance of being selected. Naturalistic observation involves observing and recording behavior in its natural setting. The double-blind procedure is a research technique in which neither the participants nor the experimenter knows which group is receiving the treatment.
