Document Summary
Contact comfort (supported) vs. cupboard theories (which isn"t supported by data) Other people must replicate your results/replicated between labs, publications, researchers. Culture of honour - crazy theory with converging evidence: finds cultural difference in new yorkers. Theory: us south and southwest are cultures of honour, while the north isn"t. In southern culture, there is a benefit to being scary (honour). North had better law enforcement and were farmers - no need to develop honour code, so they don"t respond to insults in the same way. Lots of converging evidence saying that southern people will favour/sympathize with other southern people. Good theories must lead to hypotheses that can be falsified. Freud unconscious processes (his theory of displacement has some evidence) Stanovich"s tiny green men - underlying brain mech responsible for behaviour. Two little green men reside in the left hemisphere. Facilitated communication - examining it introduces scepticism, which creates performance anxiet,which breaks the system down.
