Abstract
We identify the main themes raised in the commentaries and respond. To summarize: Yes, there were problems with social priming (and most other psychological) research; yes, the definition of social priming matters; no, cherry-picking specific studies to replicate does not amount to a systematic examination of the relevant research; yes, within-subjects social priming studies are robust; yes, it is wrong to conflate research reproducibility and misconduct; and, yes, it was personal.

Notes
1 We hasten to note that Christine Harris is a social psychologist and a critic. Our shorthand reference to “the social psychologist” commenters is a matter of convenience and not intended to exclude Dr. Harris from the great guild of social psychology.
