I browsed the many "scientific" studies and reports by Professor Diederik Stapel authored with fellow colleagues and found one very interesting study in particular [1999]; whereas, Stapel researched a case of "fraud" by a prominent Dutch professor of clinical psy-chology, of international fame, accused of "plagiarism". "Plagiarism" of texts in his popular, best-selling book from another author's book, was word for word. More fraud was revealed in other reports published. The fraud perpetrated by this [study subject] Dutch psychology professor/author on 15 August 1996 was said to have sent shock waves through the Psychology Community in the Netherlands. The "Plagiarism" Case was reported to have received intense media attention and many wondered to what extent the affair would hurt the credibility of science in general; as well as the image of psychology, in particular.
These plagiarism affair[s] at the least, were said to have temporarily damaged the image of the university involved. The people affiliated to this university asked Stapel and colleague "not to be too explicit [name] about the person and institution involved in the scandal in their study".

In his summation, ironically Stapel had written "his findings were all the more intriguing because they seem to suggest that certain manipulations may make expert investigators of social influence(i.e. social psychologist) victims of the phenomena they investigate".

"Framed and misfortuned: identity salience and the whi of scandal"[HTML]appeared in the European Journal of Social Psychology and was supported by grant 575-70-074 from the Dutch Science Foundation.

Social psychology is agenda driven....they know what results they want to reach and perpetuate for mass indoctrination.....so they devise the studies in ways to skew the results. If they don’t get the right results, they throw it out.

All paradigms of the scientists are reinforced (and most in psychology are Marxist/socialist/atheists, so I would be very suspect of their findings. Psychology was honest prior to the 30’s. After that the socialist elites started with their “shaping” of perceptions.....Pavlovian and Skinner techniques put into school curricula, media, etc. starting in the 30’s.

That being said....there are some ethical psychologists—but they are few. Most books they have used for classes are filled with skewed studies, so wrong conclusions.

It is like all the students in MBA programs being taught that John Maynard Keyne’s economic system (the sodomist) is an example of the BEST system.
