What does it mean when an entire field of study is found to be entirely falsified? How should scientists and institutions fix the problem of leftist ideology turning science into a political tool instead of search for truth?
Do you think the fact the field of psychology is completely degenerated and 99% far left is why they don't do anything useful but prescribe damaging drugs?
I noticed this so many "science" articles published in the clickbait press are social studies stuff. Not real science at all.

It just so happens all the scientific areas dominated by leftists have become stalled and produce bogus research.
Ecology was also recently found to have over a 50%+ false published study rate. This is the major studies too that set in stone what is "true" for the field. Major psychology studies have influenced CEO's and more.
A big one is the recent crisis of "loss aversion" to replicate.
Biology too. The real problem is the statisticians and machine learning and whatever else they call themselves people. They love to mouth off about how scientists need to stop data mining and correct for multiple comparisons and report how many tests were done... while conveniently not mentioning that they don't require their authors to report how many data sets they tried before they got "state of the art results", which is meaningless by the no free lunch theorem. As the best statistician I know once said,
>To all you tenured idiots out there spouting clueless dumbshit while sheltered (at taxpayers expense) from ever having to face reality or correct your inane drivel even a smidgen: >FUCK YOU, YOU WORTHLESS FUCKING MORONS.

Also those goddamn frauds have nothing to say when you point out that Kepler was datamining to an absurd degree (he tried like 40 different models on the same data before an ellipse LOL) and Newton's law of gravity applied to the earth and sun wouldn't have had p < 0.05 because of perturbations of the planets.
Eli Cox
Loss Aversion, a cornerstone law of psychology is unwinding as falsified. Not just falsified once, but in subsequent studies field-wide.
If there was a mechanism to remove a scientific field, psychology would be better off removed and all people in the field stripped of diploma / status. Psychology has to start from scratch, and it seems pointless with advances in neuroscience. Neuroscience should take over and psychology just removed as a field.
Yechiam, E. Psychological Research
It is often claimed that negative events carry a larger weight than positive events. Loss aversion is the manifestation of this argument in monetary outcomes. In this review, we examine early studies of the utility function of gains and losses, and in particular the original evidence for loss aversion reported by Kahneman and Tversky (Econometrica 47:263–291, 1979). We suggest that loss aversion proponents have over-interpreted these findings. Specifically, the early studies of utility functions have shown that while very large losses are overweighted, smaller losses are often not. In addition, the findings of some of these studies have been systematically misrepresented to reflect loss aversion, though they did not find it. These findings shed light both on the inability of modern studies to reproduce loss aversion as well as a second literature arguing strongly for it.

Psychologists dont prescribe, only psychiatrists do and thank god. Psychiatry is a medical scientific field, psychology is social science.
Xavier Cook
Behavioral psychology is basically Jews making golems again, being as the premise is that there is no internal experience to be modeled. So then when the models are iteratively applied to reality, the result is the creation of golems with no observable internal experience.
Much like using the Turing Test as an objective function for AI. Wow, you made a golem, but now one so good at trickery that its entirely validity is dependent on its ability to trick us! What could go wrong?
Aaron Murphy

Life Science isn’t about facts, it’s about solutions. Psychology is about summarizing and simplifying human behavioral trends in order to improve the human experience.
So what if our theories aren’t watertight? We’re still helping millions. We still have solutions backed by data.

Do you understand how contemporary art was subverted? Art used to be based on skill and aesthetic values, but it gave way to modernism so that even a shit stain could end up in an art gallery. Science is being subverted the same way.
Pure coincidence that it is also leftists ruining science like they ruined art.
Adrian Powell
>loss aversion Don't even need "social studies" for that, it's a pure math. Losing $99 out of $100 will leave with hundred times less currency, while adding $99 on top of $100 barely doubles it. It is a trick since it assumes absolute value = relative value, when it's not.
William Allen
At least 90% of research in any field is trash and is just done for gibs, it's all just bullshit
Colton Jenkins
After WWII there was a huge push especially in the U.S. to churn out as many scientists as possible. The result was science became just another professional career, like medicine, law, accounting etc. Before that, science was reserved for just a handful of the best and brightest. Now the average IQ of scientists has been diluted by the huge influx of mediocre minds in every discipline. Physics has been somewhat immune because there's a threshold IQ needed just to pass the classes, but even physics is suffering. The only breakthroughs made in the last 30 years have been from smashing particles in ever larger and more expensive accelerators. Every scientific discipline is 90% garbage, yet having a science degree holds the same prestige it did 50 years ago.
Josiah Wood

>cures to disease. Dumb dumb, this "replication crisis" as it's referred to in psychology right now started even earlier referring to bad results in the medical sciences (see: John Ioannidis)
Aaron Anderson
I know, it's tiresome, but it's true. Psychology is infested with jews, and much like Law the field has grown into an unnecessarily massive money making business. The DSM grows each revision to the point that everyone has a mental illness to some degree. Big Pharma are happy to provide more pills. Our sick society is generating more mental illness. Then you have shooting sprees where they are all on those drugs. Then the judenpress push for a gun grab. It's worse then anyone could possibly imaging.

In my Psych Methods class our professor told us that it was standard to alpha test studies and tweak them to ensure you got the result you are looking for.
I almost walked out, because that is the most dishonest, unscrupulous, unscientific bullshit. When I called him on it, he said tou do what you have to to get your degree and tenure.

its an assemblage of opinions by people who failed their basic science courses in college
Austin James
It's a shame too, because psychology had noble origins with intelligent forefathers, but the field got taken over by dumb females with an agenda, who, as you said, cannot pass basic science courses.
If not for these wretches the field could possibly have some legitimacy. The way they conduct experiments is on a child's level. They don't even try to hide what they're researching from their subjects most of the time, which is clearly going to bias the results. As if these bad practices weren't enough, apparently most of these researchers don't have an ounce of integrity, as points out. Even if their data managed to somehow be valid, they will simply manipulate it until they get the result they want, defeating the whole point of having a good data set to begin with.

90% of people getting psych degrees are crazy women
Caleb Evans
I'll second that. As an engineer I worked closely with bio types in grad school. Some were exceptional scientists, but there were a lot of people that would look at a limited data set and run p tests (p hacking) to find relevant trends and then publish those....... >That blew my mind. Accidental discovery is one thing, but you normally run tests to prove/disprove a hypothesis, and if you make an accidental discovery then you move to the next phase, which is to run further tests to prove or disprove your new discovery, to test of its real. >add to that their arrogance because is their degree. They are smart, but not wise. Plagued by dogma. Watching trump win was hilarious, especially the week after when the dean sent out an email suggesting people seek counseling if they were traumatized. Top Kek.
Charles Gray
Academics in the US really are corrupted to the core. >Do you think the fact the field of psychology is completely degenerated and 99% far left is why they don't do anything useful but prescribe damaging drugs? Bullshit. Psychology itself has nothing to do with politics, other than blatant censorship and leftist corruption. Besides the kikes and the really shitty ones, psychologists(at least here), usually refrain from recommending medication, unless impossible without it, and would much rather stick to therapy.
While psychology really is infested with jews, >since the dumb fuckers are always trying to get an advantage, though they're barking up the wrong fucking tree however, the basis is solid and people get better when they come to us.

We have to few intelligent people and compensate it by feeding average joe with lots of informations. Knowledge doesn't give average joe the ability of pattern recognition or thinking outside the box thought, limiting him intensively and ultimately making him a 'fachidiot'

It is to be expected that most of the studies that pass the reproducibility test will be spurious, due to the terrible standards used to select the test subjects, define relevance, and their highly anti-scientific and absurd explanations of the data they got.
But failing to be reproducible means that the study was entirely made up, so it is impossible even for the same researcher with the same original data to follow the steps to get the same results. And that's for PUBLISHED studies, which means that they passed filters and peer review. That over 2/3 of published studies are entirely made-up means that Psychology is a phony science, used only to spread bullshit.
This post is idiotic. Do you even DSM? Of course the studies are not reproducible, they are based upon pattern recognition. If a person diagnosed as schizophrenic exhibits all of the known traits is compared to another person showing all of the behaviors of schizophrenia except one, they are still diagnosed the same. It's not about counting molecules for fuck's sake. >Person A wants to chop off his dick >Person B wants to chop off his dick and grow tits Both are mentally ill.
Anyone has an archive on the 10% of studies that was actually replicable? What psychologies are good? We talking Kant, William James, Nietzschie?
John Sanders
there are two kinds of science, the kind where you measure what is measurable and make measurable what is not.
and the kind where you make shit up based on the inconclusive results of highly varied individuals

Yet it's the only branch of psychology that implements standards seen in natural sciences. Being someone who changed quite a bit just by changing my behavior I see this being the only way for psychology to become an actual science. t. psychology student

Wyatt Rivera
it's also publish or perish mentality that plagues humanities, except that in humanities methodologies rooted in stuff like constructivism are fair play which ends up with people basically just making shit up without any concern of verfiability the two strains - deconstructivism and constructivism - have basically gone off the rails and no amount of statistics, math or quantifiable research is going to magically fix it
Jacob Robinson
it's a science but it's not a hard science. They mostly study tendencies, not facts. I would call it borderline. In any case it's a low tier college major
I can't remember the name but do you know the one article two scientists submitted to a social sciences journal that got published that had a nonsensical name of some bullshit they just made up

Psychology is an extension of the legal system. Who determines if a behavior is abhorrent, a sickness, or acceptable? The courts in cooperation with the field of psychology determine acceptable behaviors and as to when penalize conduct.

Abysmal, only better than sociology, and sociology routinely publishes fake papers generated by random algorithms.
