Process validity, just cool

Group portraits are a difficult type to deal with, especially in a short film, which tests the language of the shots. Often a few clips need to explain the relationship between the characters clearly. From this point of view, the filming of the film is difficult, and the degree of completion There are also some, although it will inevitably lead to the weakness of some characters' symbolization, but in fact, this is the way we understand the world, and we can only really pay attention to the few people we understand.
Although the performance of people in extreme situations will make normal people feel incredible, the alienation of people is really a simple thing, see those classic social psychology experiments, electric shock experiments, Zimbardo's prison experiments, There is also the totalitarian education experiment (wave). Think about the alienation of public opinion on the Internet today, hey, people are too easy to alienate creatures.
The ending is full of fun and interesting. It is best to make the reason for this kind of killing without reason. Don't forcefully pull out a reason. The first phase is over, and the second phase begins, hee hee, I'm still looking forward to the sequel.
In other words, there are indeed many experiments that refute ethics in the history of psychology, but it is precisely because these experiments reveal unexpected discoveries. How should this be counted?
I suddenly remembered the issue of experimental validity, focusing on process validity is the goal of basic research, focusing on the basic psychological process behind the surface results. Focusing on outcome validity is the goal of applied research, focusing on the generalizability of behavioral change itself. Their goals are inherently inconsistent, and it is impossible to have both.
Therefore, a movie is like an experiment. The more refined and extreme it is, the more it can control irrelevant variables. The closer it is to a real experiment, it has high process validity, but the closer it is to reality, the more it can be generalized to life and has high result validity. But you can't have both, so don't nitpick where it's impossible.
In the face of this contradiction, I still choose the process validity, which is good enough.
