Incidentally, this is not unique to the social sciences. Back when I did condensed matter physics, the same was true for both experimental and theoretical papers. The PIs were pretty open about it: Once they perfect a technique, they want to milk it for as many papers as possible. If they reveal too many details, others will be able to outpublish them. (Yes, it sucked).
