This really underscores the folly of the soft 'science' of psychology. We wrap our attempts to understand it in the veneer of the scientific method, but we're pretty much prodding at the dark because there are so many confounding variables that we could not possibly control for, hence the replication crisis. It's obviously not a bad thing to try to study psychology, but I think our society could collectively do with a lot less asserting psychological studies as anything resembling factual truth just because we trick ourselves into believing they're conducted anything like hard science experiments. | ||
