Does psychological science self-correct? Find out more from Prof. Simine Vazire.

Psychological science has been at the centre of the replication crisis throughout the 2010s, with repercussions on its credibility.

In this talk, Prof. Simine Vazire will reflect on how the field responded to this crisis, and discuss what the field could do to establish its credibility, with a particular focus on Social and Personality Psychology.
