ARE THERE ANY LIMITATIONS OF PSYCHOLOGY?

Psychology deepens our appreciation for how we humans perceive, think, and feel and act. However, psychology has certain limitations. AYUSH HEALTH AND WELLNESS

Psychology also influences modern culture. Learning about psychology's findings changes people. They do not judge psychological disorders as moral failings. They no longer believe that psychological disorders should be treated with as punishment and ostracism. Similarly, now they do not regard women mentally inferior to men. They no longer view and rear children as an ignorant, wilful beast that needs taming. Morton Hunt rightly pointed out that knowledge has modified attitudes and through the behavior. Once we are aware of how our body is connected to our mind, how a child's mind grows, how our perceptions are formed and how our memory works, how people differ across the world, our way of thinking will change forever.

However, psychology has certain limitations. It can't answer questions such as –
  • Why should I live?
  • Why should I do anything?
  • Is there any purpose in life that even death cannot destroy?
Yet psychology deepens our appreciation for how we humans perceive, think, and feel and act. It enriches our lives and broadens our vision.

Overconfidence We generally tend to think that we know more than we do. If someone asks us questions about the certainty of our answer we tend to be more confident than correct. The best example is the following anagram given by Richard Goranson (1978). He asked people to unscramble the alphabets: WREAT – WATER ETRYN – ENTRY GRABE – BARGE Now see how many seconds would you require to unscramble this alphabet. Did hindsight bias come in the way? Knowing answers make us overconfident. The solution would take only 10 seconds for us to answer while in reality, the problem solver requires 3 minutes. The question arises are we better at predicting social behaviors? Students show that this may not be always the case. Philip Turlock (1998,2005) collected more than 27000 expert predictions on world events such as the future of South Africa or whether Quebec would separate from Canada. He found that these predictions which experts made with 80% confidence on average were right less ...
