Psychology, Where A + B = Whatever You Want


Mariah (Roommate): calling psych a "soft science" okay right?

Me: Soft science is not a great term
subjective science is better

Mariah: I've always heard it's soft because it was subjective while physics is "hard" because a+b will equal c

Me: It makes sense, but it's still strance

Mariah: where in psych a+b could equal square

Me: This is true

Mariah: I guess I'm around to many people in the "hard" sciences
didn't know if "soft" was a put down or not

Me:  a+ b = 9046.3. As long as you do your research and your numbers properly, and it can be backed up.
However, someone else could say that A + B = dog.

Mariah: XD

Me: So then there are two ideas for A and B but neither one of them really answer the entire question.
and combining the two won't do either, because they would leave huge explinational holes.

Mariah: you rock


Me: so then, an entirely NEW idea is proposed, which stated that A + B = the opposite of whatever Freud said, and it's all a nature vs nurture thing
but still no answer.

Mariah: aaaaaaaaaand you just helped me with my paper
