A good friend works in a department run almost exclusively by social psychologists. He was told to expect to publish (not submit... publish) 4 papers a year, and make sure at least a subset of them appear in high impact journals like PNAS, Science, Psych Science, etc. if he wanted to get tenure.
The field cannot then act shocked when many of its superstars are found to have committed fraud or (best case scenario) sloppy research practices. The system practically begs for it to occur in order to succeed.
