Do psychologists "measure"?

Weird question, right?

"Measurements of attributes such as emotions, well-being, or intelligence are widely used for various purposes in society, but it remains a matter of discussion whether psychological measurement is analogous to measurement in the natural sciences, and to what extent it qualifies as measurement at all.'
https://doi.org/10.1080/09515089.2023.2300693
Edit: author is here! @mieronen

My initial take: what?! This seems silly. But I'm starting to warm up to it. It's about causality. Consider: "insomnia causes fatigue"; no one disputes it. But there's not a physical thing in the world called insomnia that causes a physical thing in the world, fatigue billiard-ball-style. Rather, the physical causal chain happens by way of a lack of sleep causing the brain state that leads to the mind state of fatigue (in other words, that word "cause" is doing some heavy lifting in that phrase). The question is: can you meaningfully talk about causality when you have abstracted away from physical interactions?

On one hand, of course - you can develop causal models formulated entirely at the psychological level (rewards, punishments, surprises, mood) that make falsifiable predictions and you can both perturb and measure these things to test those models.

On the other hand, we probably do need to take some care that we aren't confusing ourselves as we throw around that word "cause" interchangeably for things that physically interact and abstractions of those things.

Thoughts? I'm particularly curious about cases in which this type of abstraction has led researchers astray.

@MolemanPeter @albertcardona @PessoaBrain @katejjeffery @NicoleCRust @mieronen I'd recommend these books to get a handle on thinking about the brain as a whole. Problem is our own understanding needs multiple perspectives to get a grip. Strange loop says something about the awareness illusion, but less on how brains work.
Most of these books are on history of human brains and thinking by the way

@MolemanPeter @albertcardona @PessoaBrain @katejjeffery @NicoleCRust @mieronen my point is you cant understand things like autism or disorder if you dont have a broad idea of the architecture of the human Brain. If our brain Indeed has many specialized relatively decoupled functional parts, measuring in cells doesnt yield causa understanding, since cells are not the relevant causal factor

@MolemanPeter @albertcardona @PessoaBrain @katejjeffery @NicoleCRust @mieronen however, you probably know that being trained in psychology. I am self-thought with a life long personal obsession on understanding brains and intelligence that I know now stems party from autism.
What always amazes me in therapy is how everything is done with questions and tests and language. And nothing with electrodes etc

    In this week's column, I argue for the general application of executive compensation thresholds for all corporate tax breaks.

    As it stands, out of every corporate tax break dollar between 17 and 25 cents goes directly into executive compensation packages.

    Our tax code is push-pulling on the issue of income equality, and we're all losing.

    Party of personal freedom strikes again!

    Oklahoma bill SB1976 would make sending or viewing any "obscene materials" outside marriage a felony

    It gets better. The bill is from repeal-no-fault divorce advocate, Dusty Deevers (R)

    😃

    Besides restricting viewing as much as a butt cheek, it would also be a misdemeanor to even pose for anything deemed erotic

    And, like most times they take away freedoms, they’re hiding it under the banner of “save the children!”
