Character Emotional Reaction Inference Research/title> </HEAD> <BODY> <h2>Epistemology Extra Credit Assignment</h2> <h3>(5 points)</h3> <hr /> <p>In class we discussed 4 major "ways of knowing" (or epistemologies). They are: <ul> <li>Intuition - feelings about or "gut understanding" of things</li> <li>Logic - formal thinking or reasoning about the world</li> <li>Authority - relying on a more informed or respected sources </li> <li>Science - using the scientific method</li> </ul> For this assignment you will describe how a person could go about making sense of a psychological problem using the four "ways of knowing." Use any "psychological problem" you wish (whom to date, where to go to grad school, etc.). Write a short paper describing how each of these four epistemologies can be used to understand or "know" about the problem. First, mention the concern, and then describe specifically how each epistemology can be used to shed light on the issue.</p> <p>Your paper should be well-written - with a clear introduction and conclusion. It should be free of grammatical and spelling errors, one-half to two pages long, typed, and double-spaced. (If you do not have a typewriter or computer, you should go to one of the public computer labs on campus to print your paper.)</p> </body> </html>
