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 comprehensive multi-perspectival review presents diverse philosophies of science that are used in quantitative psychology and pinpoints four major areas of development. (1) Psychology must advance its general philosophy of science (esp. ontology, epistemology, methodology) and elaborate coherent paradigms. (2) Quantitative psychologists must elaborate the philosophy-of-science fundamentals of specific theories, approaches and methods that are appropriate for enabling quantitative research and for implementing genuine analogues of measurement in psychology, considering its study phenomena's peculiarities (e.g., higher-order complexity, non-ergodicity). (3) Psychologists must heed the epistemic necessity to logically distinguish between the study phenomena (e.g., participants' beliefs) and the means used for their exploration (e.g., descriptions of beliefs in items) to avoid confusing ontological with epistemological concepts—psychologists' cardinal error. …”
