Abstract
Although psychology’s recent crisis has been attributed to various
scientific practices, it has come to be called a “replication crisis,”
prompting extensive appraisals of this putatively crucial scientific
practice. These have yielded disagreements over what kind of
replication is to be preferred and what phenomena are being explored,
yet the proposals are all grounded in a conventional philosophy of
science. This article proposes another avenue that invites moving
beyond a discovery metaphor of science to rethink research as enabling
realities and to consider how empirical findings enact or perform a
reality. An enactment perspective appreciates multiple, dynamic
realities and science as producing different entities, enactments that
ever encounter differences, uncertainties, and precariousness. The
axioms of an enactment perspective are described and employed to more
fully understand the two kinds of replication that predominate in the
crisis disputes. Although the enactment perspective described here is
a relatively recent development in philosophy of science and science
studies, some of its core axioms are not new to psychology, and the
article concludes by revisiting psychologists’ previous calls to
apprehend the dynamism of psychological reality to appreciate how
scientific practices actively and unavoidably participate in
performativity of reality.
