The "'Crisis' Crisis" in psychology

John D Medaglia et al. Behav Brain Sci. .

Abstract

The recent trend to label dilemmas in psychology as "crises" is insidious. The "'Crisis' Crisis" in psychology can distract us from actionable practices. As a case in point, "The Generalizability Crisis" offers the valuable central thesis that verbal-quantitative gaps imperil psychological science. Focusing on the key issues rather than crisis narratives can lead to progress in our discourse and research.
