Get the Methodist hoe mug.The notoriously messy toolkit used to study human behavior, which refuses to sit still for clean measurement like chemicals or cells. These methods include surveys (asking people what they do, getting what they say they do), interviews (asking deeply, getting complicated stories), ethnography (living with people until they forget you're watching), statistical analysis (finding patterns in chaos), and case studies (going deep on one thing, sacrificing breadth). Unlike physics, social science methods must grapple with reflexive subjects who change when studied, cultural contexts that shift meaning, and the small problem that the researchers are also humans with biases. It's science, but science with feelings.
"I tried to apply the Methods of Study in the Social Sciences to my family Thanksgiving. Let's just say participant observation gets awkward when your participants know you're observing and demand to know what you're writing."

Get the Methods of Study in the Social Sciences mug.The feeling that the methods used by experts to gain knowledge are so complex and inaccessible that they might as well be magic. It’s the sense of alienation a non-coder feels when looking at a wall of Python script, or a layperson feels when reading a dense statistical analysis. This alienation can foster resentment and a belief that the experts are hiding something behind their complicated jargon, rather than simply using necessary tools.
Example: "Looking at the climate models, I felt a wave of Methodological Alienation. It was all Greek to me, so I just assumed they were making it up."

Get the Methodological Alienation mug.The error of assuming that one particular method of inquiry is superior to all others and that any truth discovered by a different method is inherently suspect. It’s the quantitative researcher who dismisses qualitative interviews as "anecdotal," or the historian who thinks lab experiments have no bearing on understanding the past. This bias mistakes the tool for the truth and ignores the fact that complex problems often require multiple methods.
Example: "The psychologist showed Methodological Bias by refusing to consider case studies, insisting that only double-blind lab experiments could reveal anything about the human mind."
