Why do you think many people might be skeptical about psychology being a science?

Social Studies

Korolek [52]3 years ago

Answer:

The inability to predict in an accurate ways based on a deep and deterministic explanation for somebody's behaviour, and failing to explain individual and particular for every very single person.

Explanation:

Human behavior and motivation, are complex and often involve using a theory while disregarding another one less accurate.

In psychology, there are bodies of thought (for example psychodynamic approach) and often when psychology is applied to human behavior it contrasts with the results that were produced in lab conditions with animals. Thus unable to make clear predictions.

The psychology is based on questionable assumptions, that skeptics often attack. Most of the methodology uses a qualitative approach that contrasts to the quantitive method used by hard science like Physics or Chemistry.

We can then think of psychology as a field that gives some insight to our species but still, cannot evaluate the individual mind since everyone still will show certain actions and behaviors that are very particular to that person.

The process by which members of a group individually conclude that nothing is wrong because they observe that no one else seems
Natali [406]

Answer:

It is known as pluralistic ignorance.

Explanation:

Pluralistic ignorance occurs in social situations when an individual does not feel free to express their opinion and makes a wrong inference of what their peers think, so they end up accepting the option they believe the group would choose, even if they disagree.

An example would be: Karla is on the bus, and a person sits next to her, she watches the woman and thinks that looks like a kind person and would like to talk with her for a while, but nobody talks with other people on the bus so avoid talking to her.

The spectator effect is an example of pluralistic ignorance; when an emergency occurs, the larger the group that observed the emergency situation, the less likely someone will help. The individual in the group may think that it would not be right to help, or that he/she should not help because surely another person would help.
