====== The Replication Crisis ======

Experimental social science has favored nonintuitive effects as being "interesting", and has used poor research methods so that most published papers describe influences where no such influence is found if a larger (more accurate) study is done. When an effect is found in a replication study, it is almost always weaker than in the original study, and may be opposite in direction to the original finding. See [[wp>Replication Crisis]].
