Good eye and very funny: I didn't look closely at the picture and since it was next to the byline assumed it was just a picture of the author of the piece in the Guardian. LOL. I had to go back and look again after your post because I said to myself, I didn't remember seeing frankenstein in that article!

But what is up with the picture of Frankenstein?! Perhaps this is Ben G's idea of science? Perhaps Scott L. might find that of interest re: characterizations of science...and psych? Findings from Psych, relevant to our everyday experiences, are even more likely to be challenging and thus lead to rejection of Psych as science?

Apparently when you confront people with evidence that runs contrary to their pre-existing beliefs, they not only argue that science cannot address the question, they also often generalize that opinion of science to a wide range of other topics as well. <http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2010/jul/03/confirmation-bias-scientific-evidence><http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2010/jul/03/confirmation-bias-scientific-evidence>http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2010/jul/03/confirmation-bias-scientific-evidence Chrsi -- Christopher D.
