Question: A research team wants to replicate a classic offline personality study using an internet-based survey format. Based on the current empirical evidence comparing web-based and offline research methods, what prediction should the team make regarding the consistency of their online replication findings compared to the original offline findings?

Sample answer: The research team should predict that their internet-based survey findings will be highly consistent with the original offline personality findings, because current evidence shows online and offline results for personality are highly consistent.

Key points:

  • Predict high consistency between the internet-based replication and the original offline findings.
  • Base the prediction on current empirical evidence showing consistent findings for personality across online and offline methods.

Rubric: The response must state that the team should predict high consistency between the online replication and the original offline findings, based on current empirical evidence for personality measures.
