Mike,
Since I don't subscribe to any of the views you have erroneously ascribed to
me, I'm not much inclined to debate the matter with you. On the issues of
definition in science, see Carl Hempel.

No. I'm *more* pedantic, etc. You should read me on the
Psychteacher list! :-)

Honestly, Mike. Are you this pedantic, humorless, and self-important in
real life, or only on the TIPS list?
Just a touch of humility would probably do wonders for psychology's
reputation, instead of the brittle, paranoid defensiveness that is
all-too-commonly its public face.

Mike (Palij)-
Could you explain why you are asking Chris Green to define those terms when his
email was clearly the opposite (at least I read it that way). Shouldn't this
question be directed at Michael Smith who originated this thread?
Did I miss something?

Hi
If you look at the science requirement in our calendar at:
http://www.uwinnipeg.ca/index/cms-filesystem-action/pdfs/calendar/2009-2010-course-calendar.pdf
you will find that a number of psychology courses count for (natural) science
credit.

Gee, I've been telling my students that if a measure isn't reliable it can't
be valid. Perhaps I need to review those concepts.

De-bunking would, it seems to me, mean that one has shown that the
target of the de-bunking is not the "truth".
But the MBTI is in the realm of personality analysis.
I think personality is at best an extremely fuzzy concept.
If this is true, how then can one debunk the MBTI?
Presumably, the only t

Please explain yourself. It would help if you provided a definition for
science and then identify how all activities covered by psychology
fail to me
I guess you missed my point: there are no "sciences" in the way the Core is
constructed. There are Social Sciences, Physical Sciences and Biological
Sciences. We don't give Social Science credit for Physics or Anatomy and they
don't give Bio Science credit for Psych.

The requirements I've seen in Canada typically have a course in the
social sciences as part of the core.
But, the core also includes a "science" credit. The only choices are
the physical sciences and sometimes math.
Any psychology courses would count as a credit in the "social
sciences" but not as
Our Core requires one Physical Science, one Biological Science and one Social
Science. Is Biology not a science because it doesn't count for Physical or
Social Science credit?
