The role of scientific traditionThe role of scientific tradition
A scientific community cannot practice its trade
without some set of received beliefs. A
PARADIGM must exist.
True or false? Is science the only area that needs
a paradigm? Can ANYTHING function without
a paradigm?
Examples?
What is the role of education?What is the role of education?
The nature of the "rigorous and rigid"
preparation helps ensure that the received beliefs
are firmly fixed in the student's mind.
True or false? Is this true with any kind of
education? Is there a difference between
"Beginning" and "more advanced" education?
Examples?
What is the role of research?What is the role of research?
Research is about confirming existing concepts,
and exploring their applications. Research tends
to work within a paradigm.
Kuhn says it is "a strenuous and devoted attempt
to force nature into the conceptual boxes
supplied by professional education".
What do you think? Is it always that way?
How does progress occur?How does progress occur?
When an anomaly undermines the basic tenets
of the current scientific practice
These tenets and assumptions no longer work
New assumptions must develop
New assumptions –"paradigms" - require the
reconstruction of prior assumptions and the re-
evaluation of prior facts.
This is difficult and time consuming. Therefore
is also strongly resisted by the established
community.
Scientific revolutionScientific revolution
This process is what Kuhn calls a "scientific
revolution", occurring through paradigm-shift
How do paradigms emerge?How do paradigms emerge?
Researchers observe phenomena
Various "pre-paradigmatic" interpretations
emerge and compete
One interpretation seems better than the others,
and gains more and more adherents
That interpretation becomes a "paradigm"
After a paradigm is created…After a paradigm is created…
A paradigm transforms a group into a profession
or, at least, a discipline.
From this follows the formation of specialized
journals, the foundation of professional bodies
and a claim to a special place in academe.
 There is a promulgation of scholarly articles
"addressed only to professional colleagues,
[those] whose knowledge of a shared paradigm
can be assumed and who prove to be the only
ones able to read the papers addressed to them".
Once a paradigm exists…Once a paradigm exists…
It resists change
1. They change only when forced to or when the
change offers a strong advantage.
2. If a person or system is biased toward its present
paradigm, then a new paradigm is seen as
inferior, even though it may be better.
3. This bias can run so deep that two paradigms
are incommensurate.
4. They are incomparable because each side uses
their own paradigm's rules to judge the other
paradigm.
Paradigms in psychologyParadigms in psychology
The Cartesian (after Descartes) or Newtonian
paradigm: the person as a mechanism, as a
clock, as a computer
The evolutionary paradigm: the person in
change, as an adaptive organism, in continuity
with the other species
The ecological paradigm: the person as part of a
complex system
There are also "sub-paradigms"There are also "sub-paradigms"
Paradigms within sub-fields of
psychology.
They dictate what gets published etc.
Why is this relevant to theWhy is this relevant to the
history of psychology?history of psychology?
Because also, history is told from a certain point
of view, from a given paradigm.
What, do you think, are the basic assumptions of
the text we are using?

  • 5. What is the role of research?What is the role of research? Research is about confirming existing concepts, and exploring their applications. Research tends to work within a paradigm. Kuhn says it is "a strenuous and devoted attempt to force nature into the conceptual boxes supplied by professional education". What do you think? Is it always that way?
  • 6. How does progress occur?How does progress occur? When an anomaly undermines the basic tenets of the current scientific practice These tenets and assumptions no longer work New assumptions must develop New assumptions –"paradigms" - require the reconstruction of prior assumptions and the re- evaluation of prior facts. This is difficult and time consuming. Therefore is also strongly resisted by the established community.

If a person or system is biased toward its present paradigm, then a new paradigm is seen as inferior, even though it may be better. 3. This bias can run so deep that two paradigms are incommensurate. 4. They are incomparable because each side uses their own paradigm's rules to judge the other paradigm.
