So it sounds like there’s a secret cabal of anti-modelling/theory people out there?

In what way do you think that anti-modelling tendencies are secret?

Not disagreeing, I think I’m just clueless about who they are.

No, I mean that is fair. I am just saying I don't think it's a secret cabal. It's an open thing discussed right in our/my face(s).

I don't think anybody is trying to make this topic personal, it wouldn't benefit anyone or the community. There are no individuals confabulated against theory and modelling but an attempt to impose to the psychology community in general rules that would be detrimental.

How many journals accept pure modelling papers? How many of them have they actually published? How many research councils accept modelling proposals? How much funding goes to modelling/theory?...

... OK modelling is cheap (i.e., very good value) but does your institution look at funding as a criterion for recruitment, retention, promotion of psychologists (mine does).

I think I better understand what you mean now. And I’d definitely agree that there are headwinds. The local interpretation of REF is that theory/modelling/methods development is a useless activity. The work I’m most proud of is being deemed as non-submittable to the REF
