Do discussion about the field of Psychology happen here or is it more fitting to discuss it on >>/x/?

>>16780986 (OP)
Psychology belongs to the Humanities and goes on /his/ History & Humanities

>>16780986 (OP)
The stuff that actually follows the scientific method (ie. behavioral psych and maybe neuropsych) is cool. The woowoo shit like cognitive psych and Jung sperging are mad gay though.

heh

>cognitive psych
That's like the only psych field that has actual results, apart from medication and pavlovian conditioning

>>16781044
If by results you mean largely irreplicable bullshit.

Psychology is a pseudoscience and the people that practice it make money pushing drugs on children.

They will never admit this even though they graduate with a Bachelors of Art.

It's possible a psych general would benefit the board, both to consolidate the constant psychology topic thread spam (just right now we find on the catalog threads about IQ >>>16762430, consciousness >>>16777531, personality >>>16775401, psychiatry >>>16774118, psychopharmacology >>>16775994, and possibly others I missed plus the notable absence of classics such as BCI and agency) and to offer the undergrads who keep cropping up in those threads some education

psychology occupies the boarder between natural and social sciences (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychology) whereas the humanities are typically defined as fields of study outside of the natural and social sciences (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humanities)

in cognitive psychology, the scientific method is commonly employed to test theories and consolidate knowledge. Ironically, behavioral psychology fell out of prominence as the cognitive revolution of the late 20th century offered a more-useful framework for understanding fundamental and well-replicated (>>16781047) phenomena such as the cocktail party effect (for a review, see 10.1016/j.cub.2009.09.005), von Restorff effect (see DOI:10.1037/h0022001), and many well-known optical illusions whose effects you can easily replicate on your own (pic related)

>>16781044
Pavlovian conditioning (better known as classical conditioning) belongs to the field of behavioral psychology which indeed rose to prominence for the many notable results garnered through methods its underlying assumptions promoted. its downfall was a lack of sufficiently deep explanations for those methods' success
