AFAIK Psychology doesn't hold the empirical findings of cogsci and econ in any particularly favorable light, so I ignore it.
Do you mean the average psychologist, the average elite academic psychologist, or what? Experimental econ is psychology, and lots of psychologists study it. I have no idea what the average psychologist thinks about supply and demand or eye tracking, though.
Spoke with several average psychologists, became concerned, then read widely cited psychology papers. I didn't see any evidence of high quality analysis. All struck me as a severe case of deformation professionelle.
