Psychology of the Scientist
Radically new ideas typically meet with irrational opposition in all fields of thought, including science. As a result, progress is slowed down and some ideas need to be rediscovered before they become widely accepted. Two examples are cited from the recent psychological literature: an extensive review of the role of muscle tension in personality theory failed to acknowledge Wilhelm Reich's major contributions; and a study of the personality of c…
Sexual Appetite and Sexual Drive
Hardy's appetitional theory of sexuality is examined critically and compared with Freud's libidinal drive theory. It is maintained that sexuality is both a drive and an appetite and that Freud's theory is more complete than Hardy's because it deals with both of these aspects. Specific comparisons are drawn in relation to the periodicity of women's desire, the pleasure of genital stimulation, and the “unpleasure” in arousal short of orgasm. Finall…
Cognitive Dissonance and Self-Confidence Level
Hall and Closson studied psychoanalytic judgments, which produced a situation roughly similar to one described by Myers: in both studies, contrary results would be predicted by reinforcement and cognitive dissonance views. Myers found that most psychologists preferred the reinforcement prediction, which was validated by the results. We found that most psychologists preferred the reinforcement prediction for the Hall and Closson data as well but r…
Note on “Some Connotations of Cognitive Dissonance Theory”
Myers asked 16 psychologists to predict the results of an experiment and what they thought cognitive dissonance theory would predict. The prediction of the majority was borne out, but the majority felt dissonance theory would have made the contrary prediction. Myers concluded that dissonance theory generated unwarranted connotations and also that the gulf between dissonance and reinforcement theories was artificial. It is argued here that unwarra…
The Null Hypothesis in Rock's One-Trial Learning Experiments
Wilson and Miller argue that good experimental design requires support of the experimental hypothesis by rejection of the null hypothesis. Their only examples of designs that support the experimental hypothesis by acceptance of the null hypothesis are the experiments of Rock and his colleagues in paired-associate learning. It is here argued that the provisional experimental hypothesis of Rock, et al. was incremental. Rejection of the null hypothe…
