The study of science, sometimes referred to as metascience, is a
new and growing field that includes the philosophy of science,
history of science, sociology of science, and anthropology of
science. In the last ten years, the formal study of the psychology
of science has also emerged. The psychology of science focuses on
the individual scientist, influenced by intelligence, motivation,
personality, and the development of scientific interest, thought,
ability, and achievement over a lifespan.
Science can be defined as explicitly and systematically testing
hypotheses. Defined more broadly, science includes wider processes,
such as theory construction and the hypothesis testing seen in
children and "non-scientific" adults. Most prior work in the study
of science has emphasized the role of explicit reasoning; however,
contemporary research in psychology emphasizes the importance of
implicit processes in decision-making and choice and assumes that
the performance of many tasks involves a complex relationship
between implicit and explicit processes.
Psychology of Science brings together contributions from leaders in
the emerging discipline of the psychology of science with other
experts on the roles of implicit and explicit processes in
thinking. Highlighting the role of implicit processes in the
creation of scientific knowledge, this volume links the psychology
of science to many strands of psychology, including cognitive,
social, and developmental psychology, as well as neuroscience.
Ultimately, this volume raises awareness of the psychology of
science among psychologists, philosophers, and sociologists of
science, and anyone interested in the metasciences.
