summary	This special issue of Personality and Social Psychology Review, titled “Theory Construction in Social Personality Psychology: Personal Experiences and Lessons Learned,” compiles reflections and insights on theory construction, theory testing, and the challenges of summarizing psychological research. Key contributors include Robert Cummins, Djouria Ghilani, Gerd Gigerenzer, Barry Markovsky, Tal Yarkoni, and Paul Meehl. The content explores methodological paradoxes in psychology and physics related to theory testing, highlighting the difficulty in interpreting summaries of research on psychological theories. Resources like Paul Meehl’s video lectures and papers, and Robert I. Sutton’s “What Theory Is Not,” are referenced. Examples of comparative brain size and neuron counts across species – capybaras, bonnet monkeys, elephants, and humans – are provided to illustrate the varying structures and complexities of brains and neuronal populations. Notably, the content includes a fascinating detail about elephant neurons and their relationship to the cerebellum.
