Scientific Statement of Psychology 2.0
The Psychology 2.0 is a science based project however uses alternative methodology to science.
What is "science based"?
- we are working with the following principles: objectivity, neutrality, trustworthiness and parsimony
- we build on the achievments of psychology and all the connected disciplines
How does the methodology of Psychology 2.0 differ?
- In science the experimental datas have great importance since that mean the only opportunity to test the theories whether they work or not. The process of testing is called experiment. Setting up a scientific experiment needs loads of resources and can be only applied with measurable phenomenons. For this two reasons Psychology 2.0 searched for another way of testing and found it. It uses the collective experiences of people. We don't build up experiments to test our hypothesis but the community will decide whether the hypothesis is matching to their experiences or not. This method of testing enables a very fast but yet confidable way of cognition.
Note: this method doesn't replace the scientific experimental testing. All the theories presented here should be tested in scientific experiences once. But the present method help us to boost up the psychological thinking and the quality of thinking.
- Doing science is practically just available for expert professionals since reading and writing science requires a considerable amount of education. The Psychology 2.0 project maintains it's articles in an understandable level so everybody can take part in it. This widens the variety of the participants which gives a great improve to creativity.
