<p>Partly as a result of Titchener's misrepresentation, the use of introspection diminished after his death and the subsequent decline of structuralism.<sup id="cite_ref-Schultz_1-8" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Schultz-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Later psychological movements, such as <a href="Functional_psychology" title="Functional psychology">functionalism</a> and <a href="Behaviorism" title="Behaviorism">behaviorism</a>, rejected introspection for its lack of scientific <a href="Reliability_(statistics)" title="Reliability (statistics)">reliability</a> among other factors.<sup id="cite_ref-Schultz_1-9" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Schultz-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Functionalism originally arose in direct opposition to structuralism, opposing its narrow focus on the elements of consciousness<sup id="cite_ref-Schultz_1-10" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Schultz-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> and emphasizing the purpose of consciousness and other psychological behavior. Behaviorism's objection to introspection focused much more on its unreliability and <a href="Objectivity_(science)" title="Objectivity (science)">subjectivity</a> which conflicted with behaviorism's focus on measurable behavior.<sup id="cite_ref-Schultz_1-11" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Schultz-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-13" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-13"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>13<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p><p>The more recently established <a href="Cognitive_psychology" title="Cognitive psychology">cognitive psychology</a> movement has to some extent accepted introspection's usefulness in the study of psychological phenomena, though generally only in experiments pertaining to internal thought conducted under experimental conditions. For example, in the "<a href="Think_aloud_protocol" title="Think aloud protocol">think aloud protocol</a>", investigators cue participants to speak their thoughts aloud in order to study an active thought process without forcing an individual to comment on the process itself.<sup id="cite_ref-14" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-14"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>14<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p><p>Already in the 18th century authors had criticized the use of introspection, both for knowing one's own mind and as a method for psychology. <a href="David_Hume" title="David Hume">David Hume</a> pointed out that introspecting a mental state tends to alter the very state itself; a German author, <a href="Christian_Gottfried_Sch%C3%BCtz" title="Christian Gottfried Schütz">Christian Gottfried Schütz</a>, noted that introspection is often described as mere "inner sensation", but actually requires also attention, that introspection does not get at unconscious mental states, and that it cannot be used naively — one needs to know what to look for. <a href="Immanuel_Kant" title="Immanuel Kant">Immanuel Kant</a> added that, if they are understood too narrowly, introspective experiments are impossible. Introspection delivers, at best, hints about what goes on in the mind; it does not suffice to justify knowledge claims about the mind.<sup id="cite_ref-15" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-15"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>15<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Similarly, the idea continued to be discussed between <a href="John_Stuart_Mill" title="John Stuart Mill">John Stuart Mill</a> and <a href="Auguste_Comte" title="Auguste Comte">Auguste Comte</a>. Recent psychological research on <a href="Cognition" title="Cognition">cognition</a> and <a href="Attribution_(psychology)" title="Attribution (psychology)">attribution</a> has asked people to report on their mental processes, for instance to say why they made a particular choice or how they arrived at a judgment. In some situations, these reports are clearly <a href="Confabulation" title="Confabulation">confabulated</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-telling_16-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-telling-16"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>16<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> For example, people justify choices they have not in fact made.<sup id="cite_ref-something_17-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-something-17"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>17<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Such results undermine the idea that those verbal reports are based on direct introspective access to mental content. Instead, judgements about one's own mind seem to be <a href="Inference" title="Inference">inferences</a> from overt behavior, similar to judgements made about another person.<sup id="cite_ref-telling_16-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-telling-16"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>16<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> However, it is hard to assess whether these results only apply to unusual experimental situations, or if they reveal something about everyday introspection.<sup id="cite_ref-knowing_more_18-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-knowing_more-18"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>18<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The theory of the <a href="Adaptive_unconscious" title="Adaptive unconscious">adaptive unconscious</a> suggests that a very large proportion of mental processes, even "high-level" processes like goal-setting and decision-making, are inaccessible to introspection.<sup id="cite_ref-annreview_19-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-annreview-19"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>19<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
Indeed, it is questionable how confident researchers can be in their own introspections.
</p><p>One of the central implications of dissociations between <a href="Consciousness" title="Consciousness">consciousness</a> and <a href="Metacognition" title="Metacognition">meta-consciousness</a> is that individuals, presumably including researchers, can misrepresent their experiences to themselves. Jack and Roepstorff assert, '...there is also a sense in which subjects simply cannot be wrong about their own experiential states.' Presumably they arrived at this conclusion by drawing on the seemingly self-evident quality of their own introspections, and assumed that it must equally apply to others. However, when we consider research on the topic, this conclusion seems less self-evident. If, for example, extensive introspection can cause people to make decisions that they later regret, then one very reasonable possibility is that the introspection caused them to 'lose touch with their feelings'. In short, empirical studies suggest that people can fail to appraise adequately (i.e. are wrong about) their own experiential states.
</p><p>Another question in regards to the veracious accountability of introspection is if researchers lack the confidence in their own introspections and those of their participants, then how can it gain legitimacy? Three strategies are accountable: identifying behaviors that establish credibility, finding common ground that enables mutual understanding, and developing a trust that allows one to know when to give the benefit of the doubt.
That is to say, that words are only meaningful if validated by one's actions; When people report strategies, feelings or beliefs, their behaviors must correspond with these statements if they are to be believed.<sup id="cite_ref-20" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-20"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>20<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p><p>Even when their introspections are uninformative, people still give confident descriptions of their mental processes, being "unaware of their unawareness".<sup id="cite_ref-21" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-21"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>21<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> This phenomenon has been termed the <i>introspection illusion</i> and has been used to explain some <a href="Cognitive_bias" title="Cognitive bias">cognitive biases</a><sup id="cite_ref-22" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-22"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>22<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> and belief in some <a href="Paranormal" title="Paranormal">paranormal</a> phenomena.<sup id="cite_ref-selfismagic_23-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-selfismagic-23"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>23<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> When making judgements about themselves, subjects treat their own introspections as reliable, whereas they judge other people based on their behavior.<sup id="cite_ref-blindspot_24-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-blindspot-24"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>24<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> This can lead to <a href="Illusory_superiority" title="Illusory superiority">illusions of superiority</a>.
