consider the following:

andiiroxx asked: Also @the-lady-doth-protest-to-much there is debate as to whether psychology is a science or not. For something to be a science it has to have a paradigm, psychology does not so FUCK OFF.

Confirmation bias and statistical relevance as the primary research measures are definitely problems in the psychological field but working towards a measurable paradigm of cognitivism is the increasing goal of many branches of psychology. Like many debatably “soft sciences” aching for proper mainstream acceptance (much like chiropractic, another beleaguered science), teaching in the field is yielding more towards evidence and results-based approaches focusing on effects size and objective reach of a result rather than Fisherian significance has been a big push, as well as delaying publication which formerly has been rushed due to pressure significantly.

While its stature as a science is still obviously debatable as it deals with the mostly unknown nature of the human brain, using this as a dismissal is simply not fair to the massive amount of relevant research that goes on, ESPECIALLY with the branch of cognitive psychology so

UHHH i think u can fuck off, bitch (:
