Anyone with a lot of experience in social psychology lit?

This book I'm reading is giving me a lot of interesting thoughts, but I've also seen a lot of yelling about the replicability of social psychology results (like the marshmallow experiment) in the years since I've finished my bachelor's. Since I've more or less ignored the human psych literature except as it relates to my field, I'm a little bit at a loss when it comes to evaluating that research as a whole.

How much of the irreproducibility discussion undermines this body of work? How much smoke is there in that fire? Anyone know?

Hmmmmm, this sounds wildly optimistic to me - like, the replicability crisis didn't start until the late 00s, so, no, I wouldn't assume that research 2000-2010 is a-okay.

But it also sounds like you have information I don't? I don't know anything about a revolution in the study of what is classically called "psychopathology", i.e. "social behaviours and underlying causes of those behaviours in autism, cluster-B PDs, and a host of other mental illnesses and neurotypes". This is right on my turf, so I'm happy to do my homework. Can you throw me a search string or other pointer so I know what I'm looking for?
