Document Summary
Replicability is the hallmark of scientific validity. Study = replicate 100 well-known studies in social psychology; found that only 40% of studies produced similar results as the original published study. Problems dealing with replicability have to do with the way we conceptualize behaviour. Four requirements of a science: candidate science studies phenomena reflecting natural order in the universe natural law requirement. E. g. thought experiment: hypothesis = particular area of typical us with respect to distribution of automobile types and years, method = four separate teams film intersection between 2 and 3pm on a. Tuesday afternoon operated by central on-off switch to measure the exact distribution of cars passing through and compile lists: results = inter-rater reliability, r = 1. 00. Newton"s second law of motion (f = m*a: candidate science meshes linguistically with those lvls of science immediately above and below interscience consistency requirement.
