So, what we should do?
One of the most cited social psych findings--girls do worse on math tests when reminded of their sex--fails absolutely to replicate. The social constructionists take another big hit with this failure http://j.mp/2sVvHzr pic.twitter.com/27lApWVolf

I hate how pretty girls always get given jobs working in bars, restaurants etc over more competent men just because of their looks. So many cases where women have it easier but none are ever mentioned.

Yeah, that's what science does.. it makes claims, tests itself, and adjusts.

One piece of a larger phenomena. Love to hear what you think is behind the replication crisis that has afflicted social science in general? If more than half fail, there must be a fundamental problem, and from what I read, an attempt to replicate 100 studies saw 60% failure.

I suspect it's a combination of the correlation/causation fallacy (grit) and small n problem (publication bias). The problem isn't with the science, it's the in vivo interpretation of it by professors, PR firms and media.

The replication crisis is getting harder and harder for social psychology to ignore. We’re approaching a tipping point.

It's seems close to social psych completely undoing itself or, staring in the mirror, correcting itself.

Stand by. The left will be announcing the war on math shortly.
