Psychology's Questionable Research Fundamentals (QRFs): Key problems in quantitative psychology and psychological measurement beyond Questionable Research Practices (QRPs) by Jana Uher, Jan Ketil Arnulf, Jan Ketil Arnulf, Paul T. Barrett, Moritz Heene, Jörg-Henrik Heine, Jack Martin, Lucas B. Mazur, Lucas B. Mazur, Marek McGann, Robert J. Mislevy, Craig Speelman, Aaro Toomela, Ron Weber, Ron Weber

“…This requires an increased awareness of the complexities of human language (e.g., inbuilt semantics) and of the intricacies that these entail for scientific inquiry. (4) Epistemically justified strategies for generalising findings across unique individuals must be established using case-by-case based (not sample-based) nomothetic approaches, implemented through individual-/person-oriented (not variable-oriented) analyses. This is crucial to avoid the mathematical-statistical errors that are inherent to quantitative psychologists' common sample-to-individual inferences (e.g., ergodic fallacy) as well as to enable causal analyses of possibly underlying structures and processes. …”
