After reading the abstracts, methinks these folks may have an agenda (bias) in addition to the psychology.
Most psychology is like this. Look up successful replication rates of psychological studies. Social psychology is the worst, only an estimated 20% of studies can be replicated. The rest is bunk.
Psychology has become a haven for sloppy research & frauds. They actively shun & discourage scientific rigour in favour of agenda-driven bunk. They run from the field's most empirically validated findings, like IQ. That kind of thing might produce results that the journals & the unis & their corporate sponsors don't like. That won't advance their careers. Many research psychologists are determined to keep it this way, either because they themselves are guilty or because they fear the inevitable loss of credibility that the entire field would have to bear from exposing and rooting out the frauds & sloppy careerist researchers.
