Quote by Aisha Utz

“Empiricism is a related concept; it assumes that the ultimate and true source of knowledge is experience, or inductive reasoning from experience. In other words, if something cannot be experienced through the senses, it should not be accepted as truth. In the Islamic conceptualization, it is clear that the reality is much more complex than modern scientists will admit. The unseen world (phenomena or aspects that cannot be known using ordinary human faculties) is actually much more extensive than the seen world, and this unseen world interacts with and influences the world that we observe.”

“Psychologists assume that the shared characteristics of research participants reflect 'normality', but how accurate is this assumption? In fact, this postulation has been called into question by a relatively new field called cross-cultural or cultural psychology. Scientists are now beginning to understand that what may be normal in one society may not be applicable to other societies.”

“You don't need for me to tell you who you are because you already know the answer to that. Make life better, not just for you, but for those around you; friends, family, strangers, animals, nature; the universe. Set an example which you would gladly follow if you were seeing the light for the first time. Remember: Words are just words when they have no meaning, but as you all know, words have life within our imaginations and souls. Make 2022 the year that you came to life for the world.”

“Researchers have determined that a particular type of religious coping, collaborative religious coping, has the most benefit for the individual's physical and mental health. Collaborative religious coping involves seeking control through partnership with God in problem-solving. This means that the person relies upon God, while at the same time attempting to do his or her part to change or cope with the situation.”

“If we take a science such as experimental physics, where studies tend to have high statistical power, methods are well defined and de facto preregistered, then the failure to reproduce a previous result is considered a major cause for concern. But in a weaker science where lax statistical standards and questionable research practices are the norm, attempts to reproduce prior work will often fail, and it should therefore come as no surprise that retraction is rare.”

“A critical reader of any method section should be asking not only whether the reported procedure is sound but also whether it provides sufficient details to be repeatable. Unfortunately, an additional source of unreliability in psychology lies in the systematic failure of studies to disclose sufficient methodological detail to allow exact replication.”
