Hierarchy of the Sciences and Terminological Sharing of Laws among the Sciences
A variable called index of terminological sharing that measures the extent to which one science shares lawful concepts from another science was used to assess hypotheses concerning the concept of an hierarchy of sciences and psychology's terminological relationship with other sciences. (1) The values of the index will be relatively small for the natural sciences (physics, chemistry, biology) as compared to the relatively large values for the soci…
Psychology Among the Sciences
A measure called “theories-to-laws ratio” (number of cited theories divided by number of cited laws in textbooks) was used to assess hypotheses concerning the concept of an “hierarchy of sciences” and psychology's place among the sciences. (1) The ratio will be well-balanced, i.e., show low values, for the “natural” sciences (physics, chemistry, biology) and be poorly balanced, i.e., show high values, for the “social” sciences (anthropology, soci…
Contributions to the History of Psychology
Two measures of eminence in psychology are proposed, (1) consistency of surname counts among authors of introductory psychology textbooks and (2) frequency of use of eponyms in the psychological literature. After comparing surname counts from introductory psychology textbooks across 75 years with page-space allocations from history of psychology textbooks, it was suggested that the present measures are orthogonal to other existing measures of emi…
Citation of Laws and Theories in Textbooks across 112 Years of Psychology
Data concerning citation of laws ( n = 157) and theories ( n = 699) were collected from psychology textbooks across 112 years (1885–1996) of psychology. Three hypotheses concerning the comparative “citation strength” of the terms law and theory in psychology were set up to be tested: (1) the number of laws cited in psychology textbooks has increased over 112 years; (2) the number of theories cited in psychology textbooks has increased over 112 ye…
Gender Differences in Naming and Eponymy in Psychology
Four analyses were made to assess gender differences concerning naming in psychology (1) analysis of gender naming in pre-1975 textbooks, (2) analysis of gender naming in post-1975 textbooks, (3) analysis of gender naming by women authors versus men authors, and (4) analysis of gender in eponyms per se. Baseline data from gender of published authors via Psychological Abstracts indexes served as an adjustment factor for the post-1975 data when com…
Naming in Psychology
Three analyses are reported of the empirical assessment of naming in psychology: (1) authors' naming ratios (total surname counts divided by total number of textbook pages) in introductory psychology textbooks, (2) analysis of individual psychologists frequencies of citation, and (3) identification, cataloguing, and categorizing eponyms. Analyses indicate that current (1990–1994) authors show significantly different frequencies of naming among th…
GPA and Preference in Conditioning Live vs Computer Rats
A 2 × 2 factorial design was employed to study the influence on laboratory animal conditioning of student-experimenters' grade point average (GPA) and preference for type of rat (live vs computer). Analysis of data from research methods classes showed significant main effects of type of rat on conditioning scores. Preference for live rats was associated with better conditioning scores when working with live rats than when working with computer ra…
Contributions to the History of Psychology
A survey was conducted on the frequency of usage of psychologists' names in early introductory psychology textbooks (1920–1939) and recent introductory psychology textbooks (1968–1971) in order to assess differences between these periods. Using eponymy indexes, such as naming ratios which were derived from frequency of naming divided by textbook pages, a methodology was developed for comparing early and recent textbooks. Results showed that: (1) …
