Include in your answer anexplanation of the role that clarity and transparency of methods plays in replication.*a. Answer:Due to the fact that scientific studies within the social sciences never actually proveanything,a good amount of additional study is necessary to provide ample evidence that resultsobtained are generalizable, valid,and reliable.Firm conclusions can only be drawn oncesubsequent studies have verified results obtained in previous research endeavors.Full replicationof scientific studies is possible through the scientific method’s requirement that researchers fullydivulge the methods and proceduresusedin their studies.Question type:ESSCognitive Domain: Comprehension;ApplicationAnswer Location:Science: Basic Terms and ConceptsType: E50.What are the differences between theories and hypotheses?*a.
