本文针对临床心理学研究的特点(a)普遍令人失望的结果，(b)不可复制，(c)不良积累的批评。当我们(a)将效应量估计与显著性检验区分开来，(b)澄清对不显著结果的解释，以及(c)评估所获得的效应量的实际重要性时，结果发现是相当令人鼓舞的。此外，当我们澄清成功复制的定义并采用各种复制成功指标时，我们的研究发现可复制性大大提高。最后，通过讨论元分析的评价（消极和积极）以及临床研究人员特别是如何使用元分析程序来解决不良积累的问题。
This article addresses the criticisms that clinical psychology research is characterized by (a) generally disappointing results, (b) unreplicability, and (c) poor cumulation. Results are found to be quite encouraging when we (a) distinguish effect size estimation from significance testing, (b) clarify the interpretation of nonsignificant results, and (c) evaluate the practical importance of obtained effect sizes. Furthermore, our research is found to be considerably more replicable when we clarify the definition of successful replication and employ various metrics of the success of replication. Finally, problems of poor cumulation are addressed by a discussion of the evaluations (negative and positive) of meta-analysis and how clinical researchers, in particular, can employ meta-analytic procedures.
