Question 26 1 pts I decided to team up with some colleagues at NYU (Drs. P. Venkman, R. Stantz, & E. Spengler) to study what Dr. Venkman called "Sensory Limit Imagery Memory Evocation" (SLIME). We found null results (no evidence). While some colleagues here at the U. thought it was a great collaboration, others were concerned because it tapped into parapsychology. Even though this was a scientific experiment (based on solid research design and techniques), why could it still be a problem for the field of psychology? O A. If we had found something, those who believe in parapsychology would fight to have those results published, and those who do not believe in it would want the results published to show it does not happen every day. B. Those who believe in parapsychology fight for fewer studies to be done in the lab (under controlled situations), and those who do not believe in it want more studies done in the field (under unobtrusive situations and not controlled). O C. By trying to study the behavior, we give rise to people thinking that psychology is only dealing with issues that connect to Freud and Skinner because they conducted research on behaviors. D. Those who believe in parapsychology do not want experiments done because if there is no evidence, they would have to accept those facts, while those who do not believe in it are against experiments just in case they do show evidence of the behavior, thus they would have to change their minds about parapsychology, as well, because no one fights against research results. E. By trying to study the phenomena, those who believe in parapsychology fight against results that show no evidence of it, and those who do not believe in parapsychology ridicule the field for even trying to explore it. 0 0 e 9 G
