Taking social psychology out of context

Behav Brain Sci. 2022 May 13:45:e71. doi: 10.1017/S0140525X21000704.

Abstract

We endorse Cesario's call for more research into the complexities of "real-world" decisions and the comparative power of different causes of group disparities. Unfortunately, these reasonable suggestions are overshadowed by a barrage of non sequiturs, misdirected criticisms of methodology, and unsubstantiated claims about the assumptions and inferences of social psychologists.
