From the rear cover
"The Seven Deadly Sins of Psychology is an unflinching self-examination of the state of psychology. At first Chambers's account might seem pessimistic, even fatalistic. But the rising narrative ultimately reveals his optimism about the discipline's future via the collective action of its practitioners. Part historical account, part methodological review, The Seven Deadly Sins of Psychology will get psychologists thinking, talking, and maybe even acting to overcome the status quo and align the cultural incentives with scientific values."--Brian Nosek, Center for Open Science
"This book could change how science is done. The issues Chambers raises are starting to be taken very seriously, especially by major funders in the United States and beyond, because of concerns that current practices are wasting resources by fostering irreproducible research. This is the only book I know of that is addressing these issues head-on."--Dorothy Bishop, University of Oxford
"Written by an influential young leader in the science-reform movement, The Seven Deadly Sins of Psychology takes on a very important topic of great interest to a lot of people in behavioral science and beyond."--Hal Pashler, University of California, San Diego
