Between this study http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi%2F10.1371%2Fjournal.pone.0026828 reporting that statistical errors in psych papers correlate with the unwillingness of authors to share their original data, and the career of social psychologist http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diederik_Stapel lately unraveled after years of fabricating data for his own papers and his grad students' dissertations, I'd think that theory would be last issue on psychology's mind.
