This episode of very bad wizards is also brought to you by prolific. Prolific, if you recall from our last show, is a new service that allows you to collect data. Think about it as sort of an mterk, but without some of the problems that m turk has. One of things i really like about prolific is how much effort they put into their data quality.
Is social psychology just a kid dressing up in grown-up science clothes? Are the methods in social psychology--hypothesis-driven experiments and model-building--appropriate for the state of the field? Or do these methods lead to a narrowing of vision, stifled creativity, and a lack of informed curiosity about the social world> David and Tamler discuss the strong methodological critique of psychology from two of its leading practitioners - Paul Rozin and Solomon Asch.
Plus, food porn, real estate porn, outrage porn, and David's personal favorite - power washing porn.
