The Scientific Method03:50

The Scientific Method

65.5K
Chemistry is an empirical science. Scientists often pose questions to understand the chemistry in everyday life and seek answers to these questions. To achieve this, scientists follow a definitive series of steps that together make up the Scientific Method. This approach involves making observations, asking questions, building a hypothesis, conducting experiments, analyzing results, and forming a conclusion.

The Scientific Method

261.2K
The scientific method is a detailed, empirical problem-solving process used by biologists and other scientists. This iterative approach involves formulating a question based on observation, developing a testable potential explanation for the observation (called a hypothesis), making and testing predictions based on the hypothesis, and using the findings to create new hypotheses and predictions.
Generally, predictions are tested using carefully-designed experiments. Based on the outcome of these...

The Scientific Method

Research is what makes the difference between facts and opinions. Facts are observable realities, and opinions are personal judgments, conclusions, or attitudes that may or may not be accurate. In the scientific community, facts can be established only using evidence collected through empirical research.

Chromosome Replication02:31

Chromosome Replication

10.5K
Before a cell can divide, it must accurately replicate all of its chromosomes, including the DNA and its associated histone and non-histone proteins.  This process begins at numerous origins of replication during the S phase of the cell cycle in each of a cell’s chromosomes simultaneously. Certain nucleotides can act as origins of replication, but these sequences are not well defined - especially in complex, multi-cellular, eukaryotic species. The length of DNA that spans an origin...

DNA Replication02:40

DNA Replication

59.0K
DNA replication involves the separation of the two strands of the double helix, with each strand serving as a template from which the new complementary strand is copied.  After replication, each double-stranded DNA includes one parental or “old” strand and one “new” strand. This is known as semiconservative replication. The resulting DNA molecules have the same sequence and are divided equally into the two daughter cells.

Summary

Psychological science requires public trust, which is threatened by the noisy nature of scientific progress and occasional failed replications. Communicating the acceptability of uncertainty is crucial for maintaining public confidence in psychology.

Area of Science:

  • Psychological Science
  • Science Communication

Background:

  • Public trust is essential for the real-world impact of psychological science.
  • Scientific progress is inherently noisy, leading to variability in research findings.
  • Replication failures can erode public and peer confidence in psychological findings.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To emphasize the importance of public trust in psychological science.
  • To address the challenges posed by replication variability.
  • To advocate for better communication of scientific uncertainty.

Main Methods:

  • Conceptual analysis of scientific progress and replication.
  • Examination of public perception of scientific uncertainty.
  • Discussion of strategies for science communication.

Main Results:

  • Replication variability is a normal aspect of scientific advancement.
  • Failure to communicate uncertainty can lead to misperceptions of psychological science.
  • Proactive communication can enhance public trust and understanding.

Conclusions:

  • Psychological science must embrace and communicate uncertainty to maintain credibility.
  • Effective science communication is vital for bridging the gap between researchers and the public.
  • Building trust requires transparency about the complexities of scientific discovery.
