| Résumé: | Psychology is in crisis—not for the first time! Several empirical findings, which we listed as secured in our textbooks, turned out not to be reproducible. What is the way out? Does our data collection need to become even more careful, or has the overly strong focus on data collection perhaps just been the mistake? Does the solution perhaps lie in an increasing focus on theory rather than empiricism? This chapter will take a closer look at the process of theory building. How does one build a good theory? What are the criteria for a good theory? Learning from past mistakes for the future: This could be one of the solutions. |
