Also, *please* don’t compare this to the climate change (denial) discourse. I’m strongly opposed against such rhetorical moves that try to cash in on the hard-earned trust that *other* scientific fields have built up.

And also we should not just ignore the BS-artists who have co-opted our field. Outside academia, psychology is shamefully read as mostly self-help currently. Sure, those people offer BS solutions, but we often do not offer alternatives either. And magic-wand-psychology beats nothing, it seems.

Thanks a lot, the thread was a great help, and a great time sink as well. 😉

But now I feel like my feed has some life. So thanks to everyone who suggested packs/people!

Oh thank you, so helpful, will check some out! 🙏

Mainly I will be able to appreciate social and cognitive psychology, bonus points for work that has actual impact in the world. My profile states my more specific research interests.
