Psychology as a scientific research discipline can be distinguished from psychology as a type of social activism, even though individual psychologists may be engaged in both, and their activism may even relate to their research. In the past decade or so, psychology as a scientific research discipline has been transformed by the replication crisis (the failure of many apparently established findings to survive replication attempts) and the subsequent open science movement, which identified questionable research practices that impaired replicability and then proposed improved research practices. Over the same time period, psychology as social activism has taken a far more central role in psychological professional associations and institutions, which have tried to connect activism to research and engage in socially responsive science. These two trends, open science and socially responsive science, both attempt to address biases in psychological research, but the two trends have areas of conflict as well.
