Another anecdote:
At a presentation at our Annual Research Week last year, a member of the
biology department, referring to her own talk, remarked that it was nice to see
something from science.
And this after two psychology talks!
Oh, yes, and the biology talk was observational with minimal descriptive
statistics whereas one psychology talk was highly statistical and correlational
while the other was tightly experimental!
Once again content trumps method.

I would love to hear about this as well. Although anecdotal, my dean (a
biologist) frequently refers to bio, chem, physics, etc. as 'the sciences' and
makes a distinction between them and psychology. I've pointed it out to her a
number of times, but she conitnues to do so.

Hi Fellow TIPSters…Is anyone out there aware of any systematic survey data on
how psychology (or psychologists) are viewed by those in the “hard” sciences,
like physics and chemistry?
Have found some surveys (Webb, Benjamin) on how psychologists are viewed by
members of the general public, but have looked in vain for any data on how
psychology – and various facets of psychology (e.g., psychological research,
psychotherapy, assessment) - are perceived by our colleagues in other
sciences. Any “tips” to such data, assuming it exists (which it may not),
would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance….Scott

The Master in the Art of Living makes little distinction between his work and
his play,
his labor and his leisure, his mind and his body, his education and his
recreation,
his love and his intellectual passions. He hardly knows which is which.
He simply pursues his vision of excellence in whatever he does,
leaving others to decide whether he is working or playing.
To him – he is always doing both.
- Zen Buddhist text
