Ouch! Psychology On The Couch

[NOTE: This post has been UPDATED]

I have a new essay on Minding The Campus, “Almost Two Thirds Of Psychological Studies Are Wrong.” Unless, of course, the Reproducibility Project psychologists evaluating those studies are wrong….

UPDATE 8 Sept.

Northeastern University professor Lisa Feldman Barrett has an article in the New York Times arguing that “Psychology Is Not In Crisis,” that “the failure to replicate is not a cause for alarm; in fact, it is a normal part of how science works.” All that published research that could not be replicated is just a bunch of scientists doing what scientists do.

Prof. Barrett’s argument was utterly demolished by Scott Alexander in a long post on his impressive blog, Slate Star Codex.

Say What?
