The "'Crisis' Crisis" in psychology

Behav Brain Sci. 2022 Feb 10:45:e28. doi: 10.1017/S0140525X21000364.

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.
