Replication Crisis as Procedure Failure

Reframe psychology’s replication crisis not as a need for new grand theories but as a crisis of research procedures, incentives, and institutional norms (publication bias, low power, p‑hacking, weak peer review). Fixes should prioritize mandatory provenance, routine robustness maps, preregistration, data/analysis audit trails, and changes to hiring/promotion incentives rather than speculative theoretical revolutions. — This reframing shifts oversight and funding toward concrete governance reforms (journals, funders, universities) and away from abstract theory battles, altering how policymakers, educators and funders allocate attention and resources.
