Vol. 8, No. 6, 2019, pp. 173-178. doi: 10.11648/j.pbs.20190806.15 Received : October 11, 2019; Accepted : December 19, 2019; Published : December 30, 2019 Abstract: As an important part of the metascience, psychology of science serves a crucial sector of the science research from the perspective of humanities and social science. In the 1930s, psychology of science began to sprout, but in the following decades psychology of science was relatively silent, with few iconic achievements, and was rarely valued. Since the 1970s, due to the outstanding contributions of Kuhn's paradigm theory, psychology of science has been widely recognized. Since the mid-1980s, psychology of science research has gradually brought together researchers and produced a series of important achievements. The discipline of psychology of science has been formally established. In general, the subjects of psychology of science mainly include psychology of scientific creation, social psychology of science, and psychology of scientist personality. In China, Wang Jisheng made pioneering contributions in the study of psychology of science in the mid-1980s, but psychology of science had few achievements in 1990s to the 2010s, and the results are also mainly concentrated on the scientific image. Since 2013, the research of psychology of science in Chinese have gradually increased, the theoretical discussion of psychology of science has increased, and the exploration of the autonomy has begun to show. All in all, the development of psychology of science still needs more scholars to join, and needs the recognition and attention of the academic community. Keywords: Psychology of Science, Social Psychology of Science, China, Wang Jisheng 1. Introduction 2. The Distinction Between Scientific Psychology of science is an important component of the metascience, which together with history of science, Psychology and Psychology of Science philosophy of science and sociology of science constitutes a There are two different kinds of “ke xue xin li xue” in the basic metascience subject (Ziman's words).

    Teaching Contingencies Deleuze, Creativity Discourses, and Art by Soodabeh Salehi A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Education in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Queen's University Kingston, Ontario, Canada May, 2008 Copyright © Soodabeh Salehi, 2008 ISBN: 978-0-494-38515-9 Abstract This dissertation, flying between aesthetics, visual arts, and political/cultural/historical issues, traverses lines of stratification, and (de/re)territorialization to examine uncertainties in making and teaching art. In keeping with a conviction that nothing is unitary, that everything is always connected to countless others, Deleuze and Guattari’s metaphor of rhizome is the central organizing element in my work. My research questions what is meant by creativity, whether assumed to be a gift, talent, or innate quality, and what is meant by teaching art in university, which assumes creativity can be organized and developed. Differing discourses of creativity exhibit a general continuity of agreement that creation takes place within chaos, and forms where chaos and order meet each other. I posit that contemporary discourses of creativity hegemonically reinforce capitalism as a system of nomadic power and of constant de/reterritorialization. All, in a capitalist system, is linked to the construction of the urge to consume, and therefore the acceleration of capitalism necessitates an increase in the rate at which we manufacture venues for consumption, even in such innovative ways as by making creativity itself a consumable package. How do we resist this? From a Deleuzian point of view, creation is a becoming event, as destructive as productive. Creativity, which is about freedom, occurs on a plane of immanence which sifts chaos and multiplicity together to break lines.

  • Teaching the Nature of Science Through Scientific Errors
    Science SCIENCE STUDIES AND SCIENCE EDUCATION Education Teaching the Nature of Science through Scientific Errors DOUGLAS ALLCHIN Minnesota Center for the Philosophy of Science and Department of Curriculum and Instruction, University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, MN 55455, USA Received 23 June 2011; accepted 24 April 2012 DOI 10.1002/sce.21019 Published online 26 June 2012 in Wiley Online Library (wileyonlinelibrary.com). ABSTRACT: Error in science is a prime occasion to teach the nature of science, especially the central feature of tentativeness. Error types also reflect corresponding methodologies of science, critical for practicing science and (in a context of scientific literacy) analyzing its claims. Effective efforts in teaching about error will ideally be informed by earlier educa- tional perspectives and a schema for inventorying and organizing error types. Approaches using student-directed inquiry have limits, whereas guided-inquiry historical case studies seem appropriate vehicles. On a larger scale, one may also envision a prospective learning progression on successively deeper understandings of error in science. Sample case studies and opportunities for further reading are identified. C 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Sci Ed 96:904–926, 2012 ERROR AND THE NATURE OF SCIENCE If the goal is to teach “how science works” (Board of Science Education, 2011; OECD, 2009), then it seems equally important to teach, on some occasions, how science does not work. Imagine teaching law and law enforcement without crime. Or medicine without disease. One needs to understand how health can fail or how laws can be broken if one is to understand how the relevant systems function properly. Biologists and engineers are already familiar with cases of loss of function as a strategy for research and for teaching structure and function (Bechtel & Richardson, 1993, Petroski, 1994, 2006).

Rutjens,1 Sander van der Linden,2 Romy van der Lee3 and Natalia Zarzeczna1 Abstract The global spread of antiscience beliefs, misinformation, fake news, and conspiracy theories is posing a threat to the well-being of individuals and societies worldwide. Accordingly, research on why people increasingly doubt science and endorse “alternative facts” is flourishing. Much of this work has focused on identifying cognitive biases and individual differences. Importantly, however, the reasons that lead people to question mainstream scientific findings and share misinformation are also inherently tied to social processes that emerge out of divisive commitments to group identities and worldviews. In this special issue, we focus on the important and thus far neglected role of group processes in motivating science skepticism. The articles that feature in this special issue cover three core areas: the group-based roots of antiscience attitudes; the intergroup dynamics between science and conspiratorial thinking; and finally, insights about science denial related to the COVID-19 pandemic. Across all articles, we highlight the role of worldviews, identities, norms, religion, and other inter- and intragroup processes that shape antiscientific attitudes. We hope that this collection will inspire future research endeavors that take a group processes approach to the social psychological study of science skepticism.

  • Overcoming Cognitive Constraints to Improve Research
    The psychology of experimental psychologists: Overcoming cognitive constraints to improve research D. V. M. Bishop Department of Experimental Psychology University of Oxford OX2 6GG, UK [email protected] 1 Abstract Experimental psychology is affected by a "replication crisis" that is causing concern in many areas of science. Approaches to tackling this crisis include better training in statistical methods, greater transparency and openness, and changes to the incentives created by funding agencies, journals and institutions. Here I argue that if proposed solutions are to be effective, we need also to take into account people's cognitive constraints that can distort all stages of the research process: designing and executing experiments, analysing data, and writing up findings for publication. I focus specifically on cognitive schemata in perception and memory, confirmation bias, systematic misunderstanding of statistics, and asymmetry in moral judgements of errors of commission and omission. Finally, I consider methods that may help mitigate the effects of cognitive constraints: better training, including use of simulations to overcome statistical misunderstanding, specific programs directed at inoculating against cognitive biases, adoption of Registered Reports to encourage more critical reflection in planning studies, and using methods such as triangulation and "pre mortem" evaluation of study design to make a culture of criticism more acceptable. 2 Introduction The past decade has been a bruising one for experimental psychology. The publication of a paper by Simmons, Nelson and Simonsohn (2011) entitled "False-positive psychology" drew attention to problems with the way in which research was often conducted in our field, which meant that many results could not be trusted.

Here we cover both the history of research on scientific thinking and the different approaches that have been used, highlighting common themes that have emerged over the past 50 years of research.
