Some Myths and Legends in Quantitative Psychology

Abstract

The aim of this article is to discuss some of the limitations of some common quantitative methods used in psychology. The main reason for so doing is to attempt to challenge the "golden rule" aspect that such methods frequently acquire among researchers, with the aim of emphasizing that quantitative methods are tools with limitations that need evaluation, and with rationales that require justification, in each single scientific application.
