Topic - Are the claims suppoted by the evidence?
This topic follows on from Sally Larsen’s guest lecture about Mindset Theory, so it will be easier to post about it if you’ve listened to the lecture. I recommend this lecture as a great example of how to critique the literature!
In a study that tested the evidence of six key premises of mindset theory, Burgoyne, Hambrick, and Macnamara (2020) proposed that “strongly worded claims should be supported by equally strong evidence”.
Have you come across any other examples in the psychological literature where the claims of a theory appear to be stronger than the evidence? Give examples and discuss why you think there may be overclaiming in the study or studies. The full PDF is here if you’re struggling to access the Library version.
