Brickman (1978) data were obtained at a single point in time in Illinois. n= 22 Oswald (2019) is a longitudinal study with data from German participants. The differences between the studies are manifold. It's not as easy as stating the original study is not replicable.
Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

Jonny- Google Scholar can be your new friend. Study design- longitudinal (2019) vs cross-sectional (1978). Demographics- German vs Illinois Also, note the almost 40-year difference between the time of publication for each. Differences and nuances between both studies.
