- W35932536 abstract "This chapter considers a variety of issues regarding impediments to the theoretical unification of psychological science. Special attention is paid to the current emphasis on original research and bias against replication. Consideration is given to professional identity, personality factors, and the lack of incentives for working cooperatively towards theoretical unification. Arguments against the desirability of theoretical unification and the possibility of achieving it are examined. They include fears that theoretical unification will constitute an intellectual strait-jacket that will prohibit originality and jeopardize academic freedom. Reasons why some think that it is theoretically impossible to unify psychological science are examined. Long-standing philosophical schisms that have effectively divided psychologists are discussed. They include differences regarding the acceptability of procedural vs. validating evidence, the extent to which theories must and can be falsifiable, whether mind exists separate from brain, the role of reductionism vs. emergence, whether determinism is hard or soft, the role of nature vs. nurture, the relevance of animal research, and whether theories should follow a rule-based computer-centered model or a brain-based network-centered model. The relevance of introspection vs. extraspection, the role of final vs. efficient causes, the relevance of experimental vs. naturalistic observation, the role of ideographic vs. nomothetic research methods, and the use of dialectical vs. demonstrative reasoning are also considered. Some of these philosophical schisms are found to be false dichotomies where choice is more apparent than real. Other schisms are muted to where they should no longer support separate schools and camps." @default.
