real life environmental dilemmas
These involve the real life collective management of natural resources, including shared forests, water, air, energy and fish. They also cover more general behaviours such as recycling which are still dilemmas about natural resources, but perhaps not in such an obvious way. In the case of recycling, think of the consequences: energy usage, landfill, and air pollution are reduced, and natural resources such as forests are preserved (Benefits of Recycling, 2014). Similar variables to laboratory social dilemmas are be manipulated, such as the effect on electricity usage of giving people instant feedback about their electricity consumption; or whether providing opportunities to communicate and work together to decide how to share the wood in a forest can prevent overuse.

Being able to replicate earlier scientific findings is a cornerstone of science. Based on the methods described in the original publication, independent researchers should be able to conduct a study that reaches similar conclusions.
- defined by Oliver Genschow
Reproducibility Project
In 2015, a collaboration of 270 scientists published the results of a large attempt to investigate systematically to what extent earlier findings in psychology can be replicated. They selected 100 studies of three important scientific journals and conducted close replications. About one-third to one-half of the findings in the replications matched the results of the original studies. Reference: Open Science Collaboration. (2015).
