Psicologia matemática, Teorização formal, Modelagem quantitativaResumo
Na maior parte das áreas os fenômenos psicológicos tendem a ser explicados apenas por meio de construções textuais. Diversos autores, no entanto, apontam para a necessidade de teorias que tenham uma natureza mais formal, baseada em raciocínio matemático. A fim de incentivar acesso mais amplo às suas aplicações, apresentamos os modelos e vantagens da abordagem da psicologia matemática para o estudo do comportamento. Revisamos as limitações da teorização verbal, apresentando em seguida uma taxonomia, comum na psicologia matemática, que classifica os modelos de dados como descritivos, explicativos e de caracterização. Como casos bem sucedidos, examinamos a psicologia matemática da tomada de decisão, do comportamento de ajuda, da memória e dos relacionamentos românticos. Por fim, discutimos os benefícios e usos potenciais da abordagem. Bem-vindo(a) à psicologia matemática.
