Question

Statistical significance increases the credibility of research findings, but the replication of those findings by other researchers further strengthens the evidence, demonstrating that the results are consistent and reliable across different studies or experiments. Correlation direction (positive or negative) or the nature of the study (e.g., natural clinical trial) does not inherently make findings more convincing.
