Episode 78: Meehl on Theory
from Two Psychologists Four Beers · host Yoel Inbar, Michael Inzlicht, and Alexa Tullett
Alexa and Yoel are back with more amateur philosophy of science. This time, we do a deep dive into a paper by the legendary Paul Meehl: "Appraising and Amending Theories: The Strategy of Lakatosian Defense and Two Principles that Warrant It." What can this classic paper tell us about how to do better research? We also talk about lactose, tandem bicycles, and New Year's resolutions (not in that order).
