Why psychology is in peril as a scientific discipline-and how to
save it Psychological science has made extraordinary discoveries
about the human mind, but can we trust everything its practitioners
are telling us? In recent years, it has become increasingly
apparent that a lot of research in psychology is based on weak
evidence, questionable practices, and sometimes even fraud. The
Seven Deadly Sins of Psychology diagnoses the ills besetting the
discipline today and proposes sensible, practical solutions to
ensure that it remains a legitimate and reliable science in the
years ahead. In this unflinchingly candid manifesto, Chris Chambers
shows how practitioners are vulnerable to powerful biases that
undercut the scientific method, how they routinely torture data
until it produces outcomes that can be published in prestigious
journals, and how studies are much less reliable than advertised.
Left unchecked, these and other problems threaten the very future
of psychology as a science-but help is here.
