Theory of Scientific Monopoly *Example: In the mid-20th century, behaviorism held a near-total monopoly in academic psychology. Research on internal mental states like cognition or emotion was dismissed as "unscientific." Grant agencies, journals, and tenure committees were dominated by behaviorists, effectively outlawing alternative approaches for a generation.*
