A crisis of generalizability or a crisis of constructs?

Kevin M King et al. Behav Brain Sci. .

Abstract

Psychologists wish to identify and study the mechanisms and implications of nomothetic constructs that reveal truths about human nature and span across operationalizations. To achieve this goal, psychologists should spend more time carefully describing and measuring constructs across a wide range of methods and measures, and less time rushing to explain and predict.
