Psychologists should learn structural specification and experimental econometrics
Behavioral and Brain Sciences 45 (2022)
Abstract
The most plausible of Yarkoni's paths to recovery for psychology is the least radical one: psychologists need truly quantitative methods that exploit the informational power of variance and heterogeneity in multiple variables. If they drop ambitions to explain entire behaviors, they could find a box full of design and econometric tools in the parts of experimental economics that don't ape psychology.Author's Profile
