Are only 'priming studies' in doubt? Or are most of the studies in social psychology in doubt today? The experiments and conclusions used to fascinate me, but once you lose trust it becomes hard to believe again.
I used to think all these experiments are conducted on people vastly different from me or the people I interact with, so those findings are not applicable to me. But now it seems that those are not applicable even to people who are a lot like the subjects of the experiments.
I'm probably having the bias where one under the influence of a single significant factor ignores all the rest :).
Another thing to note is that some of the attempts to show cognitive bias at work are more easily explained by deliberately misleading or confusing wording of questions (i.e., framing a question in such a way that the person being asked thinks the question is "what is the conditional probability of Y given X" when the questioners then turn around and say "gotcha! We were really asking for the base rate of Y in the general population!").
