Another informative model is that of cargo cult science: http://calteches.library.caltech.edu/51/2/CargoCult.htm … I think both models are useful (and quite different) in thinking about the replication crisis.

This is a very interesting way of thinking about the replication crisis - as arising from a situation where power relationships start to unhealthily dominate parts of science.https://twitter.com/Meaningness/status/1025391943382118407 …

There's also some truth to this, maybe quite some truth, in my experience:https://twitter.com/AlexGodofsky/status/1025395387857870848 …

Science works. Science is all about power. Science refers to underlying material structures in the world. Most of the folk in Science and technology studies
#STS (the successor field of SSS) agree with all three and have the empirical data to back it up. 1/2 -
The replication crisis showed that the relationship between the three can be shaped differently. Replication is also about power, but more in tune with current preferences. 2/2

Yup. And I think it's also not a coincidence that shoddiness correlates with politicization (e.g. social psych vs. physics). With few exceptions (e.g.
@PsychRabble) the replication crisis has mostly been blamed on statistical power, despite the large role of sociopolitical power. -
My colleagues mostly overlook this. However, the methods improvements seem to be having the salutary unintended side effect of reducing political biases (prob not eliminating, tho). I have an essay submitted to Quillette on this; if they don't take it, I'll put on PsychToday.
