Question: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7uBeshFGN9c&t. What misconceptions do the "annoying" questions the psychology major mentions reveal about the field of psychology? 2. When you think of psychology, what are some things that first come to mind? Did you have any of the misconceptions about psychology before watching the video? 3. What are some misconceptions that the general public might have about psychology that you have heard?
Without having the ability to view or analyze the YouTube video's content directly, I can't answer your first question accurately based on the specific video. However, commonly "annoying" or misguided questions often faced by psychology majors can shed some light on misconceptions about the field. These can include things like: 1. "Can you read my mind?" - This assumes that psychology equates to psychic abilities or mind-reading, where in reality, it is a scientific study of human behavior and mental processes. 2. "Are you psychoanalyzing me right now?" - Although psychology does involve analysis of human behavior, it doesn't mean that psychology majors or professionals are constantly analyzing those they interact with casually. 3. "Is psychology really a science?" - Psychology uses scientific methods to investigate questions and arrive at conclusions, just like any other science, although it does deal with more abstract concepts than some hard sciences. As an artificial intelligence, I don't have personal experiences or preconceived notions, so I can't answer your second question from a personal perspective. Regarding your third question, common misconceptions about psychology that the general public might have include: 1. "Psychologists only deal with mental health issues." - While mental health is a broad part of psychology, it also encompasses research, cognitive processes, developmental stages, social behavior, and much more. 2. "Psychology isn’t applicable to everyday life." - In fact, psychology is very much applicable, as it involves studying how people act, think, and feel—things that all individuals do daily. 3. "Psychology is just common sense." - Although psychology does examine behaviors that can seem like 'common sense', it involves rigorous academic study and empirical evidence to formulate theories and models of human behavior. It offers scientific explanations for why people behave or think as they do, often breaking down common sense myths.
