Social psych friends, please help me out with a class discussion by responding to the following (and sharing):
What do you see as the biggest challenge for social and personality psychology in the immediate future? What should we as a field be doing better than we are now?

We’ve wrestled a lot in the past decade with poor publishing incentives - but I see a similar unreckoned-with threat from funding incentives. When universities prioritize grants/funding in tenure & hiring decisions, the folks holding the purse strings control WHAT we study. That cannot be good.

The replication crisis has shown that social psych is largely built upon sand rather than solid ground. While practices have improved dramatically we’re still trying to figure out which “older” theories hold and which do not. And I personally struggle to track what has replicated vs. not.

I think this is an overly pessimistic take from the @bmj.com.
Sharing data does not inherently increase trust, rather it enables verification which allows for trust calibration.
This example is a win. Serious issues were rapidly detected that would not have been without mandatory data sharing.

The international open access week 2024 kicked off this week. Therewill be a lot of attention for the diamond open access model. NWO haslaunched a call for proposals to support journals that want to make a'flip' towards Diamond Open Access. But there's a lot more going on.In this article, Jeroen Sondervan, programme leader Open ScholarlyCommunication at Open Science NL/Dutch Research Council (NWO), givesan overview of the current developments and challenges.
