Discussion

Chapter 14 introduces the challenges psychology has recently faced with respect to the replication of published research. Dig a bit deeper and do some research this week (e.g., in the popular press; via the research literature, in websites of professional organizations).

Is it appropriate to label this a replication crisis? Or, is Morling right to characterize this as a replication debate? As a prospective psychology major, how does this impact your perspective on our discipline? Discuss.
