👉 Null research, also known as null findings or replication studies, involves investigating claims or hypotheses that have previously been supported by significant results (a "positive" finding) to determine if they hold true under different conditions or with new data. This approach aims to assess the robustness and reliability of the original findings, ensuring that they are not due to chance, publication bias, or methodological flaws. By conducting null research, researchers can provide a more comprehensive understanding of the phenomenon in question and help to either confirm or refute initial conclusions, contributing to the scientific community's knowledge base.
