How do we fix psychology so it actually has the standards of the rest of the science fields?
Right now it's more philosophy than actual science.
So far some of the issues I have noticed in the field are
>Lack of repeatability in experiments
>Journals only want to publish positive results but rarely want to post negative results which are just as important
>Bullshit undefined terms with bullshit tests to prove something but not actually defined: Ex "modern racism tests or "modern racism" which is literal terms in psychology which is used to call people racist or prejudice based on definitions that the test makers decide"
>lack of biological or genetic understanding in the field in general
How do we fix psychology so it actually has the standards of the rest of the science fields?
why even bother. Neuroscience is more rigorous
Because Psychology has the sway of other sciences but without the standards to actually see if it's right or not. Imagine if say chemistry or biology were like that, imagine destructive that would be. On the other hand right now we have entire subfields of psychology that are literal bullshit. It warps the way we look at humanity.
If Neuroscience starts getting results and factual explanations about the brain and human behavior do you think Psychology should be taken out of the picture or just to be reestructurated?
You cant explain human behavior by looking at the brain. Hell, you cant even explain how a simple neural network works by looking at the neurons and weights, you can only see it work.
why not? serious question
Behavioral Biology > Psychology
Of course it makes most people uncomfortable because it actually talks about the biology behind the way we think rather than making some bullshit other realm of explanations and analogy to make the human mind seem like a magical realm.
The worst part about psychology is the IRB. You can have an entire field of study blackballed by academia because muh racism. A few shitty people take advantage of blacks in the 50s or so, and ruin things for everyone half a century later
Because it's complicated and they haven't figured it out yet.
>Lack of repeatability in experiments
That's because your most interesting results are usually case studies that can't be repeated for ethical reasons.
