Psychology Research Is Mostly Fine
a day ago
- The replication crisis primarily affected social psychology, especially social priming research, not all of psychology.
- Most psychology subfields (e.g., cognitive, clinical, neuropsychology) are robust and produce trustworthy research.
- Other sciences like economics and medicine also face replication issues, making psychology not uniquely flawed.
- Critics should avoid generalizing failures of social priming to the entire field of psychology.
