Well, it is.
Whoever say Psychology isn't science has never look closely at the Milgram experiment.

>>4158446
That's just because they haven't had someone in authority tell them to look at it. ;)

ITT: people who enjoy psychology getting flamed and trolled from the /sci/ residents
>inb4 psych isn't a science
WE FUCKING KNOW THIS. IT'S A PSEUDOSCIENCE
>mfw the trolling that's about to commence

The reason for every decision made is determined by 3 factors

emotions, self benefit, self satisfaction

argue with how im wrong

>>4159434
neurotransmitters. they regulate that shit dawg.
one factor. argue how i'm wrong

>>4159438

Yea, but thats not psychology, dawg.

We can´t discuss the motives of people using actual science, were not at that level of understanding yet. Science is observation of systems, and psychology is our attempt to understand human behavior through observation on a non hard science basis.

You cant put any practical understanding of human behavior through the little knowledge we have on our brain functions.

>NT pathways that have been established don't represent a system that is observed
>systems such as the limbic system aren't regulated by NTs

>>4159446
take a jumpy person who is afraid of everything and then cut out his amygdala. he won't have a fear response anymore. that changes his motives a bit, doesn't it?

>>4159449

You expect me to know what "NT" is? Do you have aspergers?

the 4 f's of the hypothalamus
>feeding
>fighting
>fleeing
>fucking
so... damage to the hypothalamus doesn't have an effect on motives either?

>>4159452
well i did mention neurotransmitters. assuming you weren't a retard that could shorten a long word for the sake of brevity has proved me wrong

>>4159452

He mentioned neurotransmitters so yeah.

Physical damage to brain tissue can indeed result in behavioral patters that seem absurd to most of us, it called insanity, and there are many known scientifically observed factors that cause "insanity". So by observing a persons action, we can determine if that individual is insane or not, and by recognizing specific symptoms, we can determine the exact reason for his or her strange behavior, from scientific research done on that set of behavior in the past.

I´m mainly speaking about the fact that, we can make conclusive guesses about reasons for people motives by observing their behavior. There are always reasons for people doing certain things and in most cases these "reasons" can be determined by rational guesses based on our ability to observe and make conclusive guesses on behavior since the beginning of our species, its called "theory of mind"

30 hours without sleep can do this to you, i admit my fallacy.

Depression, the assburglers, Bipolar traits (suspected Bipolar II).

As far as un-diagnosed, I'd love to see if my PTSD traits are something serious and I fear that I will eventually develop schizophrenia.

After falling in love with "a whore", now I have fear of falling in love with someone.

7 months ago have not seen her. :/
