Humanistic Psychology

2.9K
Humanistic psychology emerged in the mid-20th century as a response to the deterministic and pessimistic nature of behaviorism and psychoanalysis. While behaviorism focused on observable behaviors influenced by the environment and psychoanalysis delved into unconscious motivations, both theories suggested that human actions lacked free will. In contrast, humanistic psychology offers a perspective that emphasizes the innate potential for goodness and growth within every individual.

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...

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Methodology

Background:

  • In 2010-2012, experimental psychology faced a crisis regarding the ease of publishing false-positive findings.
  • This led to significant methodological reflection, termed "Psychology's Renaissance."
  • Concerns shifted from "file-drawer" bias to "p-hacking" in data analysis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the methodological reflection and changes in experimental psychology.
  • To identify promising paths forward for improving scientific practices.
  • To analyze the evolution of publication bias concerns and proposed solutions.

Main Methods:

  • Review of methodological changes proposed and adopted within psychology.
  • Analysis of differing viewpoints on improving data collection, analysis, and reporting.
  • Examination of the impact of preregistration and disclosure on research integrity.

Main Results:

  • Experimental psychologists have embraced methodological changes, improving scientific practices.
  • Disclosure and preregistration are championed as key improvements.
  • Skepticism is expressed regarding purely statistical solutions to publication bias.

Conclusions:

  • The scientific practices in experimental psychology have improved dramatically.
  • Meta-analytical thinking may inadvertently increase false positive rates.
  • Further emphasis on transparency and rigorous methodology is crucial for scientific advancement.
