Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Statistics
  • Epistemology
  • Cognition

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Social psychology, Cognitive psychology, Epistemology, Statistical analysis and Clinical psychology. His Social psychology study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Test, Clinical competence and Subject. His Cognitive psychology research includes themes of Schizophrenia and Integrated information theory.

In general Epistemology study, his work on Class often relates to the realm of Theory testing, thereby connecting several areas of interest. His work in the fields of Clinical psychology, such as Psychometrics, intersects with other areas such as K factor. The study incorporates disciplines such as Psychiatry and Schizophrenia in addition to Personality.

His most cited work include:

  • Construct validity in psychological tests. (7632 citations)
  • Clinical versus actuarial judgment (1683 citations)
  • Schizotaxia, Schizotypy, Schizophrenia (1637 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

His primary scientific interests are in Epistemology, Social psychology, Clinical psychology, Cognitive psychology and Statistics. Epistemology is a component of his Metatheory, Philosophy of science and History of science studies. His Social psychology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Test, Psychological testing and MEDLINE.

His research is interdisciplinary, bridging the disciplines of Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory and Clinical psychology. His study in the field of Consistency and Psychometrics also crosses realms of Latent structure. His study in Developmental psychology extends to Taxon with its themes.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Epistemology (22.15%)
  • Social psychology (16.78%)
  • Clinical psychology (11.41%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 1993-2018)?

  • Epistemology (22.15%)
  • Verisimilitude (4.03%)
  • Statistics (9.40%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

Paul E. Meehl mostly deals with Epistemology, Verisimilitude, Statistics, Statistical analysis and Taxon. The various areas that Paul E. Meehl examines in his Epistemology study include Work product and Relevance. His Verisimilitude research integrates issues from Econometrics, Path analysis and Algorithm.

In his research, Social psychology, Feature, Consistency and Event is intimately related to Inference, which falls under the overarching field of Econometrics. His Psychometrics and Consistency study in the realm of Statistics connects with subjects such as Latent structure and Function. His studies deal with areas such as Developmental psychology, Type, Cognitive psychology and Preference as well as Taxon.

Between 1993 and 2018, his most popular works were:

  • Clinical Versus Statistical Prediction: A Theoretical Analysis and a Review of the Evidence (1155 citations)
  • Comparative efficiency of informal (subjective, impressionistic) and formal (mechanical, algorithmic) prediction procedures: The clinical–statistical controversy. (1029 citations)
  • Bootstraps taxometrics: Solving the classification problem in psychopathology. (563 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Statistics
  • Epistemology
  • Cognition

Paul E. Meehl focuses on Taxon, Social psychology, Latent structure, Statistics and Statistical analysis. His Taxon research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Cognitive psychology, Inference and Preference. His Cognitive psychology study incorporates themes from Generalization, Multivariate statistics, Psychometrics and Multivariate analysis.

Paul E. Meehl interconnects Test, Epistemology, Subject, Actuarial science and Outcome in the investigation of issues within Social psychology. His study on Personality test is often connected to Selection as part of broader study in Test. Paul E. Meehl performs multidisciplinary study in Epistemology and Assertion in his work.
