Topic
editFolk Psychology is my topic for this assignment. I am interested in further understanding both the subject's influence on the field of psychology and its contribution to the recognition of psychology as a science revolving around the principles of the Scientific Method.[1]
Tentative Article Layout
editAim: To expand upon the existing article covering Folk psychology
- "Folk Psychology" general information & introducing key points of article
- - definition
- - folk-lore dimension of domain
- - academic dimension (if any) of the domain
- - elements of folk psychology[2]
- Key Procedural Principles
- - (ie: how one reaches a conclusion in Folk Psychology)
- Applications
- Major Criticisms (citing multiple academic journal articles)
- - it's effect in terms of encouraging the use of cognitive heuristics and biases[5] and context effects[6] in the scientific community in reaching scientifically acceptable conclusions of hypotheses (ie: counter to Scientific Method, etc.)
- Counter-Arguments to Criticisms (citing multiple academic journal articles)
- - folk psychology is not so much a predictive device as it is as "multi-purpose tool"[7]
