Psychology
PhD Researcher in Psychology (ESRC +3)
School of Psychological Science, University of Bristol
Start date: November 2020
Research topic: An exploration of the role and utility of the philosophy of science in psychological research
My aim is to understand how different philosophies of science and epistemologies shape research conduct and data synthesis in psychology research. My ultimate goal is to develop a coherent framework which reconciles the Popperian ideals of falsification with the human disposition towards theories of confirmation and inference to the best explanation.
