Problematic Research Practices and Inertia in Scientific Psychology (Advances in Theoretical and Philosophical Psychology)

Unknown Author

4.9/5 (16362 ratings)

Description:"This volume explores the abiding intellectual inertia in scientific psychology in relation to the discipline's engagement with problematic beliefs and assumptions underlying mainstream research practices, despite repeated critical analysis which reveal the weaknesses, and some cases complete inappropriateness, of these methods. Such paradigmatic inertia is especially troublesome for a scholarly discipline claiming status as a science. The book offers penetrating analyses of many (albeit not all) of the most important areas where mainstream practices require either compelling justifications for their continuation or adjustments-possibly including abandonment-toward more apposite alternatives. Specific areas of concern addressed in this book include the systemic misinterpretation of statistical knowledge; the prevalence of a conception of measurement at odds, mimicking the natural sciences; the continuing widespread reliance on null hypothesis; and mainstream psychology's continuing resistance to the explicit incorporation of qualitative methods into its methodological toolbox. Broader level chapters examine mainstream psychology's systemic disregard for critical analysis of its tenants, and the epistemic and ethical problems this has created. This is vital and engaging resource for researchers across psychology, and those in the wider behavioral and social sciences with an interest in, or who use, psychological research methods"--We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
