Psychological Science Under Scrutiny explores a range of
contemporary challenges to the assumptions and methodologies of
psychology, in order to encourage debate and ground the discipline
in solid science. * Discusses the pointed challenges posed by
critics to the field of psychological research, which have given
pause to psychological researchers across a broad spectrum of
sub-fields * Argues that those conducting psychological research
need to fundamentally change the way they think about data and
results, in order to ensure that psychology has a firm basis in
empirical science * Places the recent challenges discussed into a
broad historical and conceptual perspective, and considers their
implications for the future of psychological methodology and
research * Challenges discussed include confirmation bias, the
effects of grant pressure, false-positive findings, overestimating
the efficacy of medications, and high correlations in functional
brain imaging * Chapters are authored by internationally recognized
experts in their fields, and are written with a minimum of
specialized terminology to ensure accessibility to students and lay
readers
