> TL;DR: they replicated the famous study about liberals and conservatives reacting differently to threats, finding no difference I think this is a confusing way to word it; it implies that they successfully replicated the original study, and found no difference between their results and the original study. I might say 'they were unable to replicate the famous study about [...]' or 'they attempted to replicated the famous study [...], finding no difference between liberals and conservatives'.
