The Many Labs Replication Project exemplifies the self-correcting capacity of science. When an international team of researchers attempted to replicate an established finding—that handwashing reduced the perceived severity of moral transgressions—they could not reproduce the original results using larger samples. This failure to replicate suggests the initial finding was likely unreliable, demonstrating how rigorous testing helps correct previous research errors.
