Clinical Science Brown Bag: Thoughts on the Replication Crisis for Clinical Psychology
Jennifer L. Tackett, Associate Professor; Director of Clinical Psychology, Northwestern University
Methods and practices in psychological science have been the target of intense scrutiny over the last 6-7 years, partly in response to a series of replication failures and identification of problematic research practices in psychological research. Identification of problems and development of potential solutions has primarily emerged in the context of those psychological domains actively participating in this broader conversation, namely, social and cognitive psychology. In this presentation, I discuss potential reasons why clinical psychology has been absent from this debate and consequences of this absence—namely, delayed progress in identifying those areas of clinical research likely burdened by reproducibility problems and a gap in developing appropriate solutions for our research topics and practices. I will review some ongoing efforts related to preregistration, data sharing, and statistical and methodological practices that aim to move clinical psychological science toward more open, transparent, reproducible, and replicable research.
