Researching scientific ethics was interesting, frustrating, and entertaining. While I understand the need to have ethics within the scientific community because so much relies on each person’s work being credible and having integrity, I am having trouble understanding why people believe that scientists are any different than the rest of the world. (Unreliable Research) They are human with needs, wants, thoughts, and behaviors that are governed by approval, money, fame, and all the other things…
This refers to a positive whole number that indicates the lack of restrictions in calculations. The following states below: (rows-1)(columns-1) = (4-1)(5-1)= 3= 12 Critical Value: In hypothesis testing, the critical value is a number that separates a region where the null hypothesis will not be rejected from a region where it will be rejected. It is achieved at a particular percentile range and is then determined using a chart, known as the distribution topic.” The equation below states the…

The conceptualisation of psychology being a scientific discipline has caused many controversies through centuries; depending on which psychological or scientific perspective an approach took (Ardila, 2007, p907). As with other forms of development, there is a continuous transformation of knowledge, theories and thinking resulting in paradigm shifts (Branco, 2007, p41). Staats (1981, p241) argues psychology is what Kuhn describes as the preparadigmatic stage; it does not have a single accepted…
Picture a world in which you are the only mind. A world in which you are the only truly thinking being. In this world, you cannot be sure if others are having thoughts because they have a mind or if they are just simply a robot that is physically but not mentally present. This world is thought by some to exist, yet there are also many who oppose this philosophy known to many as the problem of other minds. From concepts coined by philosophers such as Bertrand Russell, John Stuart Mill, P.F.…

Psychology, the study of how mental processes and behavior are affected by internal processes and the environment, uses three main methods to study behavior: Case studies, correlational studies, and experiments. Each of these studies has its own advantages and disadvantages, so it is impossible to determine which is better, as each study’s effectiveness depends on its nature. Case studies, experiments, and correlational studies all have something in common, though: they can all be affected by…
exist, and if it did, it was beyond human comprehension. They believed in relativism and sought to solve practical issues advocating against the abstract question of reality. In contrast, the aim of modern science has been, by employing the scientific method, to establish reality beyond any doubt. As a result, the public commonly accepts scientific findings and theories as undisputable truths. However, the certainty of modern science is misleading and continues to leave the question of reality…
Evidenced by U.S. elementary and secondary school curricula, students are introduced to the scientific method – the way in which we ask and answer questions about the world around us. Through the scientific method, one must develop a hypothesis, conduct experiments, make observations, and repeat as necessary until a legitimate statement is reached. As a child, I considered myself a future scientist. I was invigorated by the rather immediate and concrete findings of hands-on experiments, but had…
