Beginning in 2011, public scandals and high-visibility critiques of research methods in psychology fed a broader “replication crisis”: foundational experiments could not be replicated, and statistical methods in social psychology demonstrated vulnerability to fraud and manipulation. Even well-intended researchers following accepted psychological protocols—zombie methodologies—could unintentionally produce false positives. In response, social psychologists have called for greater sensitivity to cultural diversity, a deeper consideration of social context, and more methodological reflection. The contrast with anthropology is dramatic, highlighting some of the strengths of our field: methodological versatility, appreciation of human variability, theoretical creativity, and a solid foundation for synthetic, interdisciplinary collaboration grounded in our tradition of holism. The human sciences are an important audience for anthropologists, as the example of cognitive science shows.

民族志与僵尸方法论

从 2011 年开始，公共丑闻和对心理学研究方法的引人注目的批评引发了更广泛的“复制危机”：基础实验无法复制，社会心理学的统计方法表现出容易受到欺诈和操纵的脆弱性。即使善意的研究人员遵循公认的心理协议（僵尸方法），也可能无意中产生误报。对此，社会心理学家呼吁对文化多样性更加敏感，对社会背景进行更深入的考虑，并进行更多的方法论反思。与人类学的对比是巨大的，凸显了我们领域的一些优势：方法论的多功能性、对人类变异性的欣赏、理论创造力，以及基于整体论传统的综合、跨学科合作的坚实基础。正如认知科学的例子所示，人文科学是人类学家的重要受众。
