The Social Science Studies That Can't Be Replicated

The video discusses a fictional scientific breakthrough in determining the boiling point of water, leading to a broader discussion on the replication crisis in social sciences. It highlights the importance of replication in scientific research, particularly in psychology, where many studies fail to replicate. The video explores various reasons for these failures, including methodological errors, pressure on researchers, and even fraud. It concludes with potential solutions to improve replication, such as conducting more replication studies, preregistering study designs, and sharing data.
