| | Popular psychology - definition of Popular psychology in Encyclopedia |
 | | Popular psychology should also be distinguished from various schools of psychological thinking that lie outside the current mainstream, for example the approaches to understanding psychology that flow from most religious systems or from astrology. | | | Popular psychology should be distinguished from naïve psychology, the technical term for the intuitive, non-technical understanding of our own and others' psychological processes that all people have. | | | Many popular psychology concepts are taken from pseudoscience but may also refer to academic or clinical psychology, but the literature tends to seize on ideas out of context or without the conditions and cautions that a professional psychologist would attach to them. |

| | Watson, J.B. Psychology from the Standpoint of a Behaviorist. | | | As an objective, natural science, psychology was to make no sharp distinction between human and animal behavior; and its goal was to develop principles by which behavior could be predicted and controlled. | | | He worked under Angell in experimental psychology and he was spent many a pleasant Sunday in the laboratory with Mead watching the behavior of rats and monkeys. |

| | Frequently Asked Career Questions |
| | Although the emphasis is on social psychology, much of the information applies to psychology in general (students interested in personality psychology may also wish to consult the Personality Project). | | | Social psychology is closely related to three other disciplines: personality psychology, organizational psychology, and sociology (social work is sometimes confused with social psychology, but it is really more similar to counseling psychology and clinical practice). | | | Because social psychology applies to so many employment domains beyond academia, however, most people with a PhD in social psychology are able to find a job related to their interests. |

| | Faculty Psychology: A Brief Overview |
| | Faculty Psychology, a point of view that conceived of the human mind as consisting of separate powers or faculties, was, perhaps, the most widely accepted concept of learning during much of the 19th century. | | | According to this model, the mind (and particularly the intellect) was considered somewhat analogous to a muscle, and the role of education was to exercise and strengthen the intellect to the point where it could control the will and emotions. | | | Edward Thorndike discredited the concepts of mental discipline and transfer of training (Rippa, 1971). |

| | Third, the popular and scientific concepts of emotional intelligence are separated by a "claim" gap. | | | One point on which both the popular and scientific treatments do agree is that emotional intelligence--if substantiated--broadens our understanding of what it means to be smart. | | | Second, popular models of emotional intelligence imply that we can predict important life outcomes using such a diverse list of variables--which is, of course, correct. |

| | Such satisfactions and frustrations are probably both premature, for psychology is a young science and its subject matter (behavior and experience) may be infinitely more complex and difficult to study than the subject matter of the physical sciences. | | | This course is intended to serve as an introduction to the discipline of psychology, to provide you with a mere taste of the diverse problems and content areas of interest to psychologists. | | | This means that you should develop an increased understanding of your own behavior and motivations, a better appreciation and tolerance of the behaviors of others, and a greater degree of intelligent skepticism about popular psychology. |
