Identity communities often form based on outsider understandings of fields on the boundary of science and pseudoscience. When I asserted recently that fMRI stuff is largely nonsense, I got many outraged responses, apparently mostly from psychiatrists.https://twitter.com/EikoFried/status/1141015324474712071 …

My sense is that a good deal of work around the five-factor model and general intelligence will survive. A great deal else will not.

Dunno. Yes, both of these seem to get at *something*. Big Five just falls out of PCA, though, & whenever it contradicts data people disassemble it into “facets.” There’s no good mechanistic story, so I won’t be surprised if it turns out not to be real. Also not surprised if real.

The parallels with FMRI and social psych are not encouraging: low n, noisy data, high analysis flexibility after data in hand, heavy reliance on statistical significance as opposed to effect size.

Yup; definitely similar problems!
