Should politicians treat psychological research as "science" ... and if so, what p-value should be considered politically acceptable?
- greglindahl 7y agoAre you interested in talking about this article? Because it isn't about psychology.
- selfishgene 7y agoLet's remember that sometimes one man's science can be another's religion. Applying the label "science" doesn't remove any of the uncertainty associated with many so-called "scientific conclusions." In this regard, psychology is not all that different from climate change.
