Abstract

This Research Topic presents novel and revived perspectives on the fundamental problems underlying psychology's crises in replicability, validity, generalisability and thus, confidence in its findings. Our 15 articles present critical analyses of established theories and practices that are widely used in quantitative psychology and psychological ‘measurement'. They show that, contrary to current beliefs, questionable research practices (QRPs) are just surface-level symptoms of much more profound issues that are still hardly discussed.
