We need to be braver about the generalizability crisis

Behav Brain Sci. 2022 Feb 10:45:e6. doi: 10.1017/S0140525X21000510.

Abstract

We applaud the effort to draw attention to generalizability concerns in twenty-first-century psychological research. Yet we do not feel that a pessimistic perspective is warranted. We outline a continuum of available methodological tools and perspectives, including incremental steps and meta-analytic approaches that can be readily and easily deployed by researchers to advance generalizability claims in a forward-looking manner.
