>Psychology has been described as a "hub science",[4] with psychological findings linking to research and perspectives from the social sciences, natural sciences, medicine, humanities, and philosophy.

Psychfag reporting.

It's interesting beyond the undergraduate level.

>>9517570
Interesting read.

>> No.9517832

It's interesting you can define one human by measuring another,.

But I really don't think it's because of eternal entanglement.

Telling somebody who he is based on somebody who put bunch of atrament on paper and see something in it, is bullshit, if it makes somebody who tells you there is nothing in it ill, because seeing something in it is purely hallucination.

I couldn't find anything on stemgodzl33t4evr.org/psedoshit

>> No.9518508

we only had two years of psychology.
is there anything empirical in that shit?
it was usually stuff like "what is bias?, could you describe us Maslow's pyramid?, could you tell us what addictions are?, how do people act in groups?" and shit like that.
only scientific thing we learned there is anatomy of brain and some nerves.

I think you have posted this thread on the wrong board. This board is for discussion of science & math. It does not appear that your thread is either . Kindly be more careful about board selection in the future.

Psychology is an outdated field, and quickly becoming replaced by things like cognitive science and neuropsychology (study of the brain and its physocal functions).

Most people would say these disciplines all go under the umbrella term psychology.

What about psychophysics?

Something that without neuroscience would be obsolete and impossible to study? It would be redundant to view the psychical interactions of stimuli from a purely "psychological" standpoint since neuroscience already encompasses it.

>> No.9519208

>>9519197
And from the behavioral standpoint? There are psychophysical laws relating stimuli and behavior.
By the way, what do you think about operant conditioning?

>>9519208
>operant conditioning
I don't have much of a psych background, so I'm not about to google that, read the definition, and pretend like I know what I'm talking about.

What I'm saying is I don't see much of a point in making any distinction between the two disciplines when psychology is just the drawing of conclusions and coining of terms that are confirmed from neuroscientific study.
