Whats the most respectable social/human science ?

Archeology.

Either economics, psychology or linguistics.

>>8790813
>>8790803
Why no sociology ?

>>8790816
Too easy to grasp and rampant relativism.

>>8790813
Economics is just applied psychology.

>>8790828
Still respectable because of all the matu involved.

>>8790828

its not applied psychology , but ive heard they want to include it nowadays for better models

>>8790816
because it is a mucky field that lacks rigour because it allows in charlatans only interested in pushing ideology.

there's a very low bar set for demonstrating your claims.

it's perfectly easy to get pubished as a sociologist simply by doing "discourse analysis" where you cherrypick media and write about how these piece of media show x about attitudes towards gender equality, for example.

thefield of sociology would be A LOT better if every sociology department were suddenly merged with the economics department and the head of the economics department decided which academics to keep and which to fire.
the few sociologists who actually did serious research would remain and every sociologist using the field as an excuse to espouse critical theory o other garbage ideology with out systematic use of evidence would be cast out.

>>8790828

it si actually not.

the rigorous kind of eco for math people are not derived from psychology at all.

only if business adm. and partially econ major classes

geography and demography, the rest are garbage

>>8790791
Behavioral psychology/neuroscience is the most rigorous out of them and is entirely experimental.

Linguistics is more survey data and CS-like than a true experimental science.

Econ is primarily survey data and faulty assumptions about human behavior.

Sociology is a joke.

Teaching or history?

I recommend actually studying rational choice theory instead of regurgitating what you heard on 4chan anon. You may actually learn something.

>>8791260
>non experimental assumptions about human behavior

Wow, what a science.

>Humans
Not consistently behaving lazily/sluggishly

>>8790828
>Physics is just applied math

>>8790791
pure mathematics

>>8792111
nice trips and literally everything is applied math. There are only two subjects, pure math and applied math

Ecnomics>History>Psychology>PoliticalScience>Lit>Anthropology>Sociology>Social Work

>>8790791

Medicine.

>>8792136
IE, two subtypes of applied philosophy.

Economics

>uses stats
>uses game theory
>uses calc
>uses programming
>complex systems analysis

feels so good

I'm going to be crucified for this, but I think it's easier to say which ones are not respectable.
Shit tier
>Gender studies.
>All the studies.
>Education*(The idea is fine, the people who go into it are usually shitheads)
>Literature/english. (Because this isn't a thing you need to pay money to study)
>Communications/journalism.
Better tier
>History and related fields(anthro, archaeology, etc)
>Economics, money stuff.
Brainmaster tier (of the humanities)
>Philosophy and associated fields.
>Psychology(the market for psych grads is too saturated, but the field is still awesome)
And that's what I got to say about that.

>>8792781
Cool man, you made math camo.

Economics.

>>8792802
>(Because this isn't a thing you need to pay money to study)
What if you don't live in Burgerland and don't have to pay for your education?

>>8790816
Sociology is the reason why social/humam sciences are not respected in the first place. It is filled with ideology and shady research methods.

>>8792802
>Philosophy and associated fields.
>Brainmaster tier (of the humanities)
Yeah, no. Philosophy is shit tier.

The responses show how sjw's and progressives have fucked up our collective thought.

My answer would be Geography.

>>8792802
>>Literature/english. (Because this isn't a thing you need to pay money to study)
Why do you hate art ?

>econ
A politician asks an economist about the implications of his research on a policy proposal. The economist leads the politician into an empty room, shuts the door, closes th windows, and says "What do you want the result to be?"

The only things economists agree on are things that are not particularly popular.

>>8790859
You mean econometrics? Which is just a fancy name for how economists conduct regression?

>>8795097
Its not just conducting regression, its all about parsing good data out of natural experiments and minimizing the effect of potentially confounding variables

>>8794876
Thats more of a fault with the professional state of economists than a fault with the field itself

>>8795116
this is exactly what everybody that's ever used a regression model seeks to do, in any field.

=> econometrics = regression analysis on econ data
