区分数学方法和科学方法。科学直觉和数学结果之间的差异归因于这样一个事实，即科学概括比数学描述更广泛。科学方法处理的是代表整体的样本，而数学方法则衡量观察到的特定样本之间的差异。科学始于描述，但结束于概括。数学指标太高，可能需要打折才能得出科学结论。(保留所有权利，《心理信息数据库记录(C)2016 APA》)
Differentiates between mathematical and scientific methods. The differences between scientific intuition and mathematical results have been attributed to the fact that scientific generalization is broader than mathematical description. While scientific methods deal with samples which are representative of the total whole, the mathematical methods measure the differences between the particular samples observed. Science begins with description but ends in generalization. Mathematical measures are too high and may need to be discounted in arriving at a scientific conclusion.(PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)
