In this article, I critically discuss the philosophy and psychology of science that are put forward by psychologists involved in the reform debates centered on the so-called "replication crisis" of the 2010s.

In this paper, buildi...
Početkom 2010-ih godina u psihologiji se ubrzano počela širiti rasprava o problemima s replikacijom već objavljenih istraživanja.

Problemi s replikacijom opisani su kao simptom dublje krize...

Each of the commentators approached the topic through their own lens—Melinda Baldwin as a historian of scientific j...

The goal of the study was to descriptively analyze the understanding of null hypothesis significance testing among Croatian psychology students considering how it is usually understood in textbooks, which is subject to Bayesian and interpretative criticism. Also, the thesis represents a short overview of the discussions on the meaning of significan...
