1. Overview of this CE program (top)
This home study course entails the independent study of What meta-analyses reveal about the replicability of psychological research (Stanley, Carter, & Doucouliagos, 2018), followed by the completion of a multiple-choice test on-line. Participants who receive a passing grade of 75% or higher on the test will receive 2 CE credits. In accordance with guidance from the APA CE office, we are limiting the number of chances to take the test to 2 times. Participants who fail the test may retake the test once at no additional charge, and receive CE credit if they do pass.
