Abstract

During two crises in social psychology, the first from the 1960s to the end of the 1970s, and the second starting in 2010 and still ongoing, researchers discussed the strength of theories in the field, the societal relevance of research, the generalizability of effects, and problematic methodological and statistical practices. Continuing on the first part of this review, which focused on replicability, I compare similarities in the concerns raised across both crises. I consider which issues have prompted meaningful reforms and which have yet to result in significant progress. Finally, I reflect on the extent that the incentives contributed to these crises and argue that a more coordinated approach to scientific research is needed to prevent these concerns from resurfacing in a future third crisis.

对社会心理学两大危机的理论化、相关性、概括性和方法论的关注。

在社会心理学的两次危机中，第一次是从20世纪60年代到70年代末，第二次从2010年开始并仍在进行中，研究人员讨论了该领域理论的力量，研究的社会相关性，效果的普遍性，以及有问题的方法和统计实践。继续本综述的第一部分，重点是可复制性，我比较了两次危机中提出的担忧的相似之处。我考虑哪些问题促使了有意义的改革，哪些问题尚未取得重大进展。最后，我反思了激励机制在多大程度上促成了这些危机，并认为需要一种更加协调的科学研究方法，以防止这些担忧在未来的第三次危机中再次出现。

期刊介绍： The International Review of Social Psychology (IRSP) is supported by the Association pour la Diffusion de la Recherche Internationale en Psychologie Sociale (A.D.R.I.P.S.). The International Review of Social Psychology publishes empirical research and theoretical notes in all areas of social psychology. Articles are written preferably in English but can also be written in French. The journal was created to reflect research advances in a field where theoretical and fundamental questions inevitably convey social significance and implications. It emphasizes scientific quality of its publications in every area of social psychology. Any kind of research can be considered, as long as the results significantly enhance the understanding of a general social psychological phenomenon and the methodology is appropriate.
