Yeah, I would say that there is a lot of attention to social psychology for two reasons. One is that it has public engagement interest value. That's a way of saying that people care about your findings. people care about, at least in the sense of, oh, that's interesting to learn, right? But the other reason is that social psychology has bothered to look.
And I think social psychology became a hotbed for this because the actual challenges in the social system of science that need to be addressed are social psychological problems. What do you mean by that? I mean like the reward system, how it is that people might rationalize and use motivated reasoning to come to findings that are less credible.
A lot of these problems are ones that social psychologists spend every day thinking about.
The case that people make to say that this is a bigger problem now is that the competition for attention, jobs, advancement is very high, perhaps greater than it's ever been.
Yeah. So there are many more people and many fewer positions, which is an obvious challenge for a competitive marketplace. And there are now pathways for public attention that have even bigger impact. Academics, by and large, didn't think about ways to get rich. They looked for ways to have time to think about the problems that they want to think about. But now they have pathways to get rich.
