Psychology isnt that good of an example when its literal founder - Freud - has had a number of his theories proven as faulty over time.
Otherwise, meh, it doesnt really matter imo if a scientist like a physicist or biologist admits they were wrong - their theories are just later disproven and theyre debunked. --- I am basically am I. Well, basically. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Psychology isnt that good of an example when its literal founder - Freud - has had a number of his theories proven as faulty over time. Thinking this is restricted to psychology is a big mistake. Cancer bio has a reported replication of like 30%, a recent genomic imaging replication attempt only had a 8% replication rate. Cultural incentives in science and the file drawer effect prevent science to truly be self correcting. At least at any reasonable rate. --- =E[(x-E[x])(y-E[y])] ... Copied to Clipboard!

Psychology isnt that good of an example when its literal founder - Freud - has had a number of his theories proven as faulty over time. FYI, this is not the correct way to approach science. There is a problem with inductive reasoning, so the only way to truly progress knowledge is by ruling out the incorrect ideas and you do that by putting forth falsifiable hypotheses. Newton's mechanics were "proven wrong" in the sense that you can't apply them to something like GPS satellites and be accurate. That required Einstein's relativity. But Newton's mechanics are still a valid way of approaching something like simple projectile motion. Freud isn't really the "founder" of Psychology, except to laymen. He was a neurologist who armchair analyzed behavior. His psychodynamics aren't falsifiable, so they're not amenable to scientific examination. The real founders of modern psychology were the behaviorists like Skinner, Watson, and Pavlov. You're taking it to mean that Freud's "theories" were wrong and thus psychology isn't a valid science. That's wrong. --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

They don't have to since the scientific method does that for them. The scientific method does, but when you incorporate the current academic culture, it's not exactly followed to the ideals of the scientific method. Authors are incentivized to publish new findings, since a lot of journals won't accept you attempting to replicate another lab's findings or publishing null hypothesis findings. If you don't publish, and therefore bring in more grant funding to your institution, you won't get tenure. So really its an issue of economics. --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

Yeah, that's a good point. The great thing about Wundt was his more physiological way of approaching it and how I've always conceptualized the science.

Your response just made it clear that you didn't understand what I meant. Credible predictions can and are made in psychology, though theory is relatively weak (as it is in biology). Crossing levels of analysis in complex systems is hard. Lower level systems don't simply predict higher level systems. --- =E[(x-E[x])(y-E[y])] ... Copied to Clipboard!

That's why peer review exists. Scientists rarely admit mistakes but other scientists want to point out those mistakes. So potential scientific research is looked over by other scientists who was t you to fail and look at every little detail.

What are your issues with peer review? The only thing it does is help with some errors, assuming the reviewer catches or even understands what's going on. Everything else is just really bad for publication, and causes people to publish or present information in a form that stops them from getting buttblasted by reviewers. Peer review is really good for suppressing a shit ton of information, at the same time, the quality of what gets through can also be unaffected. So basically it does nothing, but it's fun to have around. --- MHW Supplemental Discord: https://discord.gg/ChHjtYQ https://imgur.com/QL6WJAl https://imgur.com/lGlcDyU ... Copied to Clipboard!
