> The Jewish gestalt psychologist Kurt Lewin emigrated from Berlin to the US when Hitler came to power in 1933. Three years later, he would publish the founding equation of social psychology: B = f (P, E), meaning that behaviour is a function of a person in their environment ... what? The point of equation is to be able to manipulate and compute symbols and quantities. How is this equation remotely useful? How do I compute f? Can I decompose P or E in other terms? What are the properties of the sets to which they belong? etc This "equation" has no value whatsoever- is this a thing really taught to psychology students? It's so silly when soft sciences try to gain an air of legitimacy by using bogus math notation. I guess you can cargo cult math as well...
