Verified step by step guidance1
Understand what a direct replication study is: it involves repeating the original study's procedures and methods as closely as possible to see if the same results can be obtained.
Recognize that direct replication studies do not change the theoretical framework or the main hypothesis because they aim to test the same theory and hypothesis as the original study.
Note that the core procedures and methods are kept the same in direct replications to maintain consistency and validity in testing the original findings.
Identify that the main aspect that can change in a direct replication is the sample of participants, as researchers might use a different group to test the generalizability of the findings.
Conclude that direct replication studies primarily change the sample of participants while keeping the theoretical framework, hypothesis, and methods consistent.
