About this ebook
Die Psychologie als Fach, wie es heute an Universitäten angeboten wird, hat seit ihrer Entstehung im 19. Jahrhundert große Anstrengungen unternommen, eine den Naturwissenschaften vergleichbare quantitative Wissenschaft zu sein. Manfred Velden stellt an einer Reihe von Beispielen dar, dass es sich dabei um eine Maskerade handelt, bei der naturwissenschaftliche Methoden benutzt werden, ohne dass es zu entsprechend verlässlichen Ergebnissen kommt. Die Auswirkungen dieser Art von Wissenschaft waren zum Teil geradezu verheerend, so zum Beispiel im Zusammenhang mit Immigration, Zwangssterilisierung, der Zulassung zur Universität oder der Debatte über Rassenunterschiede.
