Psychological phenomena are complex and can best be understood by using different methods. However, to get things working, tolerance must actively be lived. Of course, much depends on our own willingness as researchers but also on the system’s arrangements. Psychology could be more colorful, and we could all have more fun if we were to be more committed to such a methodology. 4950 https://doi.org/10.3389/fpsyg.2021.612570$xR$3Volltext$534 4950 https://nbn-resolving.org/urn:nbn:de:gbv:8:3-2021-00346-5$xR$3Volltext$534 4961 https://macau.uni-kiel.de/receive/macau_mods_00001189 5051 150 5550 Disapproval 5550 Methodology 5550 Respect 5550 Statistics 5550 Tolerance
