【 摘 要 】
Raymond Hubbard documents the statistical, social, and philosophical causes of the “reproducibility crisis” in Corrupt Research: The Case for Reconceptualizing Empirical Management and Social Science. Hubbard's diagnosis of the reproducibility crisis includes a detailed critique of Null Hypothesis Significance Testing (NHST), in particular testing nil null hypotheses (hypotheses of “no difference”). His critique is supported by an almost exhaustive reference list, making Corrupt Research a useful text even if you are very familiar with the issue. Less familiar to readers may be his discussion of how the widespread tacit acceptance of a philosophically naive form of Hypothetico-Deductivism (HD) as the Scientific Method permits and exacerbates the other complementary causes. According to Hubbard, HD is erroneously thought to legitimize the inappropriate use of NHST and other methodological flaws.
