Unit I Discussion: Scientific Method & Critical Thinking

As it relates to Chapter 1 readings and lecture notes compare:

·        The Scientific Attitude

·        Critical Thinking/The Scientific Method

to

·        Intuition and Common Sense/ Hindsight Bias

Reflect back on a least two (2) experiences:

(1) one where you made a good decision based on Intuition and Common Sense, 

(2) the other where you made a good decision based using The Scientific Attitude, Critical Thinking and/ or The Scientific Method. Which was better and why!

Details are optional, but please share how your reading has helped you understand if some ‘purported psychological finding’ drove your decisions, and/ or do you (now) take a more scientific attitude/ method / critical thinking (approach) towards making decisions.
