The Statistics of Failure to Replicate: A Comment on Buriel's (1978) Conclusions.
Humphreys, Lloyd G.
Journal of Educational Psychology, v72 n1 p71-75 Feb 1980
Many researchers, including Buriel (EJ 187 987), incorrectly compared the results in each study with null hypotheses of zero differences between means or zero population correlations. Instead, a test of difference between the mean differences in the two samples or the direct comparison of the two sample correlations is required. (Author/CP)
