On the whole, has social psychology had a positive or negative influence on the world (including problems solved and exacerbated, time and resources spent, jobs and knowledge gained, public trust in science [probably lost], procedures and methods developed, etc.)?
For decades, social psych has waged wars against behavior genetics, IQ research, personality traits, & evolutionary psych -- the four areas of psychology that have the most replicable, valid, & socially relevant findings.

I’m a bit puzzled by some of this. Most evolutionary folks I know are housed in social psych, so clearly the antipathy isn’t universal. Also, what evidence do you have that evolutionary is more replicable?

Isn't that kind of how science works? The most replicable, valid, and socially relevant are still standing after scrutiny.

Tell that to all the researchers in those fields who were denied jobs, grants, & careers by self-righteous social psychologists.
