Well "pbhjpbhj," like I said, you're confusing logical positivism with science. Positivism, the idea that we can only believe propositions which are proved correct, lost favor in the late 1800's. Modern science, including social psychology, is in the vein of scientific theory called operationism. Like I said before, you should research this, because you don't know what you're talking about.
- pbhjpbhj 12y agoWe're not talking about multiple metrics, the exact same metric is being used in empirically identical circumstances and the results are conflicting. The only way to square that position is to assume the conclusion is wrong or the data is wrong. Essentially the epistemological underpin isn't important; operationalising a system no more allows for unrepeatability in empirical data than does any other consistent scientific method - after-all if unrepeatability were allowed then the logical basis would be self contradictory. Rather than arguing from abstract implications about my assumed knowledge why don't you address the question at hand?
