DiFFiCULT TO REPRODUCE doesn't mean it don't exist. It only means you are not sufficiently good at your job. Or: Oh, soufflés are hard to get right, therefore all chefs should only concern themselves with Big Macs. A PhD whining in an article don't disqualify the research.
If it is difficult to reproduce under tightly controlled lab conditions, how will it ever apply to real life, which is messy and unpredictable? But psychologists get payed to generate laws that DO apply in real life. That is why we have them.
Simply by not knowing enough to reliable generate the required laws today, doesn't mean we don't know how to generate them tomorrow. To dismiss a phenomena on the grounds of " we newbies havent figured out the secret sauce" while some are using it but dont have the recipe is dumb
Are you sranding up for soc. psych? Impressive! We dismiss the phenomena on the grounds they have not been able to establish sufficient evidence (and because of endless stories of corrupted social science research)
Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.
haha the statement was not that cognitive dissonance is proven to not exist. Just that the evidence is insufficient. You are using the concept in the wrong domain. Try again
Your point still don't matter. Logic still applies. Dismissing something on such loose grounds? I'm not impressed. The social world is notoriously slippery, full of possible variables, interpretations and errors. I have given the reasons so please try persuade someone else.
Thats the dumbest thing I read in a while
Speaking of yourself? Type ll errors are as grave as type l's. But hey, why not search for the next bandwagon to jump on? Or go sell cookies to grandmothers or something you actually are good at.
The main point isn't that the effect emerges only under specific, opaque conditions - though this alone could make it uninteresting for the wide public - but that researchers tend to omit this "secrete sauce" in their publications, which gives a false impression of the robustness
Alright, the "secret sauce" seems to be in the experience in staging the experiment, probably making it more relevant because of individual differences. However there is no general formula yet. Is that grounds of dismissing cognitive dissonance @PsychRabble ?
I'm w/Rolf. Its not that we know it does not exist, its more like the evidence, once taken as solid, is anything but. CogDiss was an early replic crisis & work died around 1970 because 3/4 of the world could not get it or had alternative explanations when they did. 1/2
