When I was studying undergrad psych, Psychology Today was falling into disrepute.

Are they still a reputable source, today?

Psychology Today is not great in general, but the article I linked to is written by a social psychology PhD (Lee Jussim).

Ok, good to know, thanks!

Setting this aside for a deeper read, but it appears at first glance that the concerns revolve around statistical technique rather than methodological soundness?

It can't be "still reputable" after "falling into disrepute".

“was falling” in the imperfect tense.
