Psychology aims to understand real human behavior. However, cultural biases in the scientific process can constrain knowledge. We describe here how data-driven methods can relax these constraints to reveal new insights that theories can overlook. To advance knowledge we advocate a symbiotic approach that better combines data-driven methods with theory.
心理学旨在理解真实的人类行为。然而,科学过程中的文化偏见会限制知识的发展。我们在这里描述了数据驱动的方法如何放松这些限制,以揭示理论可能忽略的新见解。为了推进知识,我们提倡一种共生的方法,更好地将数据驱动的方法与理论相结合。
