Paul wrote I've got to admit that I agree on that last point (despite my earlier ribbing...). As I understand it, we're 9 point underdogs at the moment. On the other hand, the Packers are a better team than they've looked recently, and this IS the NFL's 1-loss-and-you're-out playoff system. If it

I hope that in the sports tangent we haven't lost sight of the original question, which I'll repost here: = Dear Tipsters, I am currently writing a module on knowledge creation in psychology and I want to include a unit on the relationship between knowledge and

Despite the fact that I am a social psych person and a Packer fan, I do agree with Ed that such explanations are circular and a problem in the social sciences where underlying mechanisms remain un-precise (or, in postmodern, social constructionist ideology, may be anathema). Theory

I suspect that Cynthia Mullis intended these remarks for me alone, but, like Beth Benoit, was caught by new-style TIPS posting. No harm done (no titillating unintended indiscretions for us to enjoy in either case, I regret to say), but I thought I'd reply in public, mostly because I'm hoping to

Paul, I think the threads changed names a few times. They were called seduced by science; what is religion; and stats on religion/religious folk. If you are trying to find the posts on line they occurred during the first 10 days of October 2001. I've kept some of my favorite posts in my

Ed, I have been thinking about your original questions, but I have been busy with the first days of classes and have not had time to write a coherent response until now. I offer this analysis with some sense of humor, at least I believe that Proxmire would consider any research based on these

Yes. I have talked to others who think faculty get something special that other professions do not have - but this is not true. Tenure merely guarantees due process. When physicans and lawyers are fired, they are not given pick slips and asked to clear their desks by the end of the week! In most
