1 How Can Psychology 201 Help you Understand the World? Pseudosciences: o What are the differences between a science and a pseudoscience? o What are examples of pseudosciences? o Why is understanding the difference important? o Why do people believe in pseudosciences such as astrology, shark cartilage therapy, iridology, graphology, etc.? How can you apply the principles of the scientific method from psychology to other claims in general? How do beliefs affect our perception of the world? What are the strengths and weaknesses of a scientific process? Why do drugs have the effects they do on your behavior what effect do they have on neurotransmitters? What parts of the brain affect behavior? What are the effects of sleep deprivation? Why do people abuse drugs? What effects can hypnosis produce? What effects can hypnosis not produce? What are the effects of different parenting styles? In general, I approach my courses by trying to get you to 1. explain how you can use the psychological principles from the course and 2. how psychology helps you understand the world around you.

3 Is Psychology All Common Sense? A lot of psychology is common sense. However, there is a lot of psychology that isn t common sense. Common sense can depend upon your world-view.

5 Is Psychology Common Sense? Beliefs and claims in science need to be testable and falsifiable. We can test this claim. In order to test this claim, I am going to do is give you a T/F quiz about psychological beliefs. The results from this test increase the confidence in this belief/claim or decrease the confidence of this belief/claim. By guessing, how many should people get correct? Based on the outcome of the quiz, we can make a conclusion about the claim psychology is common sense. Outcome of the average score on the survey of psychological beliefs Conclusion Upper Criteria Lower Criteria 36 Psychology is common sense Unclear whether psychology is common sense 0 Psychology is not common sense
6 Average score on the quiz Conclusion 41 Psychology is common sense Psychology is not common sense
