A paradigm is a model or pattern that represents a typical example of the item or idea. In science, a paradigm is an agreement among scientists that details the scope, problems, and assumptions of a particular discipline. For example, there may be a paradigm for how to treat a particular type of cancer; what drugs to use and in what combinations and for how long, what outcomes may be expected. Our method for the classification of living things ( taxonomy) is a paradigm.

Is the lack of one theoretical paradigm problematic for Psychology as a discipline?

No. Natural sciences such as physics are based on mathematical equations, and thus can more easily be simplified into one theoretical paradigm. Social sciences, such as psychology, are based on the workings of the human mind, including thoughts, perceptions, and emotions that cannot be measured in pure mathematics. Social sciences are a different breed of science, and will never be based on a single paradigm. Keep in mind that there is still no one theoretical paradigm that can explain all happenings in any science. Einstein's theory of relativity still doesn't work in all situations.


Difference between model and theory?

Theory: an explanation of an event that has been supported by consistent, repeated experimental results and has therefore been accepted by most scientists. Model: A verbal, mathematical, or visual representation of a scientific structure or process, which allows scientists to construct and test inferences and theories.


What is eclecticism in psychology?

Eclecticism is a conceptual approach that does not hold rigidly to a single paradigm or set of assumptions, but instead draws upon multiple theories, styles, or ideas to gain complementary insights into a subject, or applies different theories in particular cases. Basically, it is making decisions on the basis of what seems best instead of following some single doctrine or style. It is a fusion of multiple styles and doctrines (teachings, educations) to come upon a balanced answer.
