Its now known that Diederik Stapel, the Dutch social psychologist who was
suspended by Tilburg University in September, faked dozens of studies and
managed not to get caught for years despite his outrageous fabrications.
But how, exactly, did he do it?
.
That question wont be fully answered for a whilethe investigation into the
vast fraud is continuing. But a just-released English version of Tilburgs
interim report on Stapels deception begins to fill in some of the details

While it is becoming clearer how Stapel committed his fraud, the larger
question is why. In separate statements, he explained that I was not able
to withstand the pressure to score points, to publish, to always have to
be better, and that he felt a sense of dismay and shame but that he was
sincerely committed to the field of social psychology, young researchers,
and other colleagues.
.
Apparently, he saw no contradiction between that commitment and
systematically manufacturing results for years, harming his graduate
students and co-authors along the way, and staring down anyone who would
dare question him.
