The Replication Crisis in Psychology

"Psychology has been the center of attention recently because of the so called 'Replication Crisis.' In their newest module Noba founder Ed Diener and Noba senior-editor Robert Biswas-Diener thoughtfully examine the issue to help students understand its roots and provide some perspective on why it is both a crisis and an opportunity for Psychology.

The material includes discussion of topics such as why replication is important, examples of studies that have not replicated, reasons for non-replication, and solutions to the problem. If you are looking for a great way to incorporate this relevant and timely issue into your courses, look no further." See following link to access this outstanding free psychology resource.
