Yes it is

but nobody wants to hear the truth about weak statistics and too many uncontrolled variables. So to get funding, physiologists have to sensationalize their findings more than other fields, which takes away all of its credibility and leads to false conclusions.

It is a systemic failure

Can we repeat your point but without the sass because it's not obvious what you're trying to say?

It's one of those disciplines that straddles the line between hard science and social science. Ultimately, it's a wide field, and it can be studied either scientifically or non-scientifically. There's a big difference between behaviorism and psychotherapy, for example.

If experiments can be replicated, it fucking science

I agree it's not essentially a science, but I find it kind of interesting. I like exploring my insecurities.

Your results are reproducable to yourself for the most part. Learn some statistical figures to determine significance I guess. Idc

Time to brush up on the mission statement of psychology?

>> No.9673717

>>9672573
So, by your own logic, if experiments aren't repeatable then it isn't science?

More objective psychology studies are done by businesses and advertisers, and the military, than by universities.
