I don't think it is wise for psychology to let go of finding better methods. And to continue to strive to become more rigorous. That much of psychology is nothing more than the weak methodology of social science is also good to keep in mind and to accept that, as much of it is not generalizable, but it is also not wise to stop trying to find out if this is due to confounder, bad statistics or methods, or if this is intrinsically due to conceptual or situational unique factors that make the findings unique to those specific situations. You need to be able to seperate the two to even know if what you claim is true or valid. Just saying, accept that psychology is a social science and therefore intrinsically is very situational and weak and loose construct based is just lazy reasoning. I think psychology should do both. Accept that most of psychology is not better than sociology and anthropology in its methods and constructs but should also strive to find and use better methods and statistics to become better at making any form of models/theories from which actual predictions can be made and followed up on.
