Discrimination in Psychology

Looking into the skewed number of conservatives in social psychology.

I would say “look who’s figuring things out”, but then I read the comments.

“Anywhere in the world that social psychologists see women or minorities underrepresented by a factor of two or three, our minds jump to discrimination as the explanation,” said Dr. Haidt, who called himself a longtime liberal turned centrist. “But when we find out that conservatives are underrepresented among us by a factor of more than 100, suddenly everyone finds it quite easy to generate alternate explanations.”

Alternative explanations include Fox News. LOL
