As a reputable Psychologist in the field, I disagree with your statement. I will say though that psychology/neurosciences are more in the 'mapping out the problem' stage, due to the considerable complexity of the subject, and sources of variability. There is a difference between 'its serious science' and 'I take my finding seriously'. A healthy dose of skepticism is neccessary in your own research due to sampling heterogeneity. |

I really like that turn of phrase...I tend to think we're still in that phase for most of the sciences as well. Be it medicine, physics, astronomy, mathematics(?) - we seem to think we have answers when we're still trying to figure out what questions to ask..
hell - just in my lifetime we've had quantum physics, black holes, gut flora, the sun is the power source for all life and god knows what else :-)
Its really interesting to see how things develop and as a lay person, it makes it a really interesting time to be alive :-)
