Chapter 9: Beyond Research and Statistics

Learning Objectives

After reading this chapter, you should be able to:

  • have a critical lens on psychological research.

In this chapter, we will take a step back and critique “objectivity” and “value neutrality” that permeate the ideas in psychological research. We will also discuss their potential implications on research and practice when left unaddressed. Lastly, we will discuss the scientific reform movement and alternative frameworks of knowing.
