Do you think psychology is a reliable science? Can you solve the problem?

Uncle Zuo, the psychology teacher, will answer your question.

I am a counselor who is engaged in psychology and mental health education. I am a consultant on mental health education for college students. Are you psychologically reliable? What problem can it solve? I answer you from two aspects!

First, I can tell you clearly that psychology is not only reliable, but also very reliable.

Psychology was born at the end of 19. As soon as it was born, it studied the psychological activities of human beings and human individuals in a scientific way, so it was also called scientific psychology or experimental psychology. In the development of scientific psychology, psychologists have always carried out research with scientific methods and scientific research paradigms. Whether it is the study of people's perception, thinking, consciousness, behavior, demand, emotion and will in the laboratory or the observation of individual psychological behavior by psychologists through field investigation, modern scientific research methods are strictly used to explain and describe the above research and observation results, such as cognitive science. Neuropsychology uses the most cutting-edge and advanced scientific methods to study human cranial nerves, neural structures, neural activities and neuronal tissues. And has received positive responses from clinical medicine and biology.

Second, can psychology solve problems?

Since its birth, psychology has established two development paths for itself. One is basic theoretical research, which lays the foundation for the application of psychology; The first is applied research, which applies the scientific research results of psychology in the laboratory to real life for the benefit of human society and individuals.

In the development of psychology 100 years, many branches of applied psychology are divided from the perspective of application. Educational psychology, criminal psychology, management psychology, consumer psychology, engineering psychology, aerospace psychology, human resource management psychology, clinical psychology, environmental psychology, sports psychology, etc. They are all applied psychology to solve the practical problems that human beings encounter in the above fields.

Very very useful!

Psychology is actually a marginal science, which was born with the development of human civilization, especially modern civilization. The higher the industrial level, the higher the proportion of psychological problems, which is why psychology originated in the west rather than the East.

So there is no psychology in the East? Yes, even before the west, but we don't call it psychology, we call it "psychology". Yes, it is Wang Yangming's mind, unity of knowledge and action, inspiration, diligence, reform, and responsibility for goodness.

Mr. Yangming's theory of "self-sufficiency in the way of saints" says that everyone has all the qualities to be a saint, but is blocked by "eight hearts"

In fact, the problem-solving mechanism of western psychology is also like this. It is not the psychological counselor who gives visitors the strength and courage to solve difficulties, but by showing them their strength and courage to solve their own problems.

So psychology is very useful in modern society and will be more important in the future until the end of industrial civilization!

Psychology, born out of philosophy, is a special discipline and inherits the characteristics of philosophy. Like belief in philosophy, it has the characteristics that belief is spiritual and unbelief is invalid. As for whether it is useful or not, even theology is still useful, only in its great and small uses.

Of course it works. Believe in science.

Psychology is not chicken soup, nor is it the one-sided thing that has been sold many times in the books of best-selling writers.

If you want to get in touch with the works of real psychologists, you will find that this is really science, not metaphysics.

If you are interested in psychology, read more books from several schools, and be sure not to be extreme and lead to computer addiction. The best-selling author's book can be bypassed.
