Debates about replication in psychology have focused on methodological issues and how to strengthen the replication culture. In most cases, these discussions have tended to assume that the phenomena being investigated are universal. In this paper, we are going to propose a theoretical distinction of different types of replication. The distinction is based on the assumption that besides of universal psychological phenomena there are also phenomena, especially in social and cultural psychology, that are expected to vary between socio-cultural contexts and across history. Taking this insight to its logical conclusion it implies that the main purpose of a replication and interpretation of its results depends on the phenomenon being studied. In the case of the universal phenomena, the replication serves to validation purpose, while in the case of the socio-cultural phenomenon it serves to advance our theoretical understanding of how the given phenomenon is formatted by the socio-cultural-historical context.
心理学中关于重复验证的争论主要集中在方法论问题以及如何强化重复验证文化上。在大多数情况下，这些讨论往往假定所研究的现象具有普遍性。在本文中，我们将提出对不同类型重复验证的理论区分。这种区分基于这样一种假设，即除了普遍的心理现象外，还存在一些现象，尤其是在社会和文化心理学中，这些现象预计会在社会文化背景之间以及历史进程中有所不同。将这一见解推至逻辑结论，这意味着重复验证及其结果解释的主要目的取决于所研究的现象。对于普遍现象而言，重复验证用于验证目的；而对于社会文化现象，它则有助于推进我们对特定现象如何由社会文化历史背景塑造的理论理解。
