Danger of Misinformation and Science Denial
Anti‐science beliefs, including science denial and belief in pseudoscience, pose a serious risk to human societies. This introductory article presents an overview of the dangers of these anti‐science beliefs for a special issue of the Journal of Social Issues on how they impact the behavioral and social sciences. After providing a broad overview of some of the dangers of science denial and pseudoscience, we summarize the contributions of scholars…
High Cost of Scientific Ignorance
This paper examines the failure of Daubert , using analysis from case law, legal scholarship, social psychology, and the philosophy of science to map out the scope of the problem. Next, it provides a diagnostic situated within recent work in social epistemology that highlights structural challenges in the contemporary epistemic landscape. Although the problem of the misuse of science in the courtroom has many different dimensions, one underexplor…
Gender and child custody outcomes across 16 years of judicial decisions regarding abuse and parental alienation
There have been legislative efforts to control how child custody decisions are handled in family courts where allegations of abuse and of parental alienation (PA) are levied. The “findings” reported to support such legislation have been based on one unreviewed study with identified methodological issues (Harman & Lorandos, 2021). We tested six pre-registered hypotheses to determine whether there is empirical support for the “research findings” us…

Theory and research have described developmental processes leading to damaged parent-child relationships, such as those that occur during a divorce. However, scholars dispute the scientific status of the literature on children who form unhealthy alliances with one parent against the other-termed parental alienation (PA). This comprehensive literature review tests competing descriptions of the PA literature. Accessing four electronic databases, we…

Parental Alienation in U.S. Courts, 1985 to 2018
Courts have been dealing with alienating behaviors in high conflict family litigation for hundreds of years. Experts in the behavioral sciences have been writing about mothers and fathers manipulating their children to disparage the other parent for more than seventy years. But in the last two decades some social scientists and legal professionals have questioned the legitimacy of parental alienation as a concept and its admissibility in child ab…
