Psychology as a Science01:13

Psychology as a Science

4.1K
Psychology, as a scientific discipline, aims to understand the mind and behavior through rigorous and systematic methods. The foundation of psychological research is evidence-based, relying heavily on the scientific method to derive and validate knowledge. This structured approach ensures that findings are reliable, valid, and applicable to broader contexts.
The scientific method in psychology involves six critical steps: making observations, formulating hypotheses, conducting tests, analyzing...

Scientific Nature of Social Psychology

684
Social psychology is a scientific discipline dedicated to understanding how individuals think, feel, and behave in social contexts. Unlike common sense, which relies on anecdotal experiences and intuition, social psychology employs systematic research and empirical methods to ensure objectivity and reliability. This distinction is fundamental in distinguishing scientifically supported findings from mere speculation.Four fundamental scientific values guide a structured approach to research in...

Structuralism

3.8K
Structuralism, an early psychological theory developed by Wilhelm Wundt and his student Edward Bradford Titchener, sought to dissect the human mind into its most fundamental components. Wundt's groundbreaking work in his laboratory set the stage for Titchener to define structuralism's goal as cataloging the "atoms" of the mind—sensations, images, and feelings—akin to how chemists identify elements of matter.
Titchener's approach to structuralism was unique. He...

States of Matter

3.0K
Solids, liquids, and gases are the three states of matter commonly found on Earth. A solid is rigid and possesses a definite shape. A liquid flows and takes the shape of its container, except it forms a flat or slightly curved upper surface when acted upon by gravity. Both liquid and solid samples have volumes nearly independent of pressure. A gas takes both the shape and volume of its container.
Scientists have discovered a fourth state of matter, plasma, that occurs naturally in the interiors...

Classifying Matter by State

106.7K
Chemistry is the study of matter and the changes it undergoes. Matter is anything that has mass and occupies space. Matter is all around us; the air, water, soil, mountains, even our bodies are all examples of matter. Matter is divided into three states — solid, liquid, and gas — that are commonly found on earth. The fourth state of matter, plasma, occurs naturally in the interiors of stars.

Area of Science:

  • Social Sciences
  • Science and Technology Studies (STS)

Background:

  • A recent editorial questioned the relevance of Science and Technology Studies (STS) to post-truth politics.
  • The editorial claimed STS bears no responsibility for post-truth politics and its internal debates on expertise are irrelevant.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To counter the claim that STS is irrelevant to post-truth politics.
  • To assert the continued importance of STS's analysis of expertise and the scientific enterprise.

Main Methods:

  • Critical analysis of the editorial's claims regarding STS and post-truth politics.
  • Argumentation for the continued scientific and political relevance of STS's work on expertise.

Main Results:

  • There is a clear resonance between STS scholarship and the emergence of post-truth politics.
  • The current political climate heightens the importance of empirically informed analysis of expertise and science.

Conclusions:

  • Dismissing STS's contributions as merely political undermines its role as experts on science.
  • STS must maintain its focus on the scientific analysis of expertise and the values of science to retain its unique position.
