Chapter 9: Psychology as ascience
Psychology as Science
• Science is an approach to evidence, a toolbox of skills designed to prevent us from fooling ourselves
• Strive to think scientifically — think in ways that minimise errors
- Become aware of your biases
- Use the tools of the scientific method to try to overcome them
Confirmation bias: the tendency to seek out evidence that support our hypothesis and neglect or distort
contradicting evidence
Belief perseverance: the tendency to stick to our initial beliefs even when evidence contradicts them
What is a Scientific Theory?
• A scientific theory is an explanation for a large number of findings in the natural world, including the
psychological world
• Scientists call a testable prediction a hypothesis
