scientific credibility

Any credible psychologist will tell you that psychology is not a science, its an art. Aside from some chemical brain issues, there is nothing in psychology that can be proven. After all, how do you prove that someone thinks something and then prove why they think it?

Ignorant nonsense.

I’d certainly believe that there’s discrimination in the field, but it’s worth noting that it may not be so prevalent as believed. Psychologists have to go through the collegiate minefield of progressive indoctrination. That in/of itself is a weeding out process as far as conservative candidates are concerned, even before any discrimination can occur.

Did you notice the disparity between self described fiscal and social conservatives in the field? Down to 3.9%. You don’t get that far with discrimination; ideology is a non-physical attribute.(as opposed to tall, short, beautiful, ugly, fat, skinny, black, white, etc) It indicates something else.

College indoctrination alone may not even be enough. I’d bet that journals by psychologists, for psychologists are riddled with progressive propaganda as well. Indoctrination and propaganda work best when it’s upheld by seemingly 3rd party entities. The universities teach it, and the journals uphold it. It’s classic Bernays.(among others)
