There are several myths in psychology, so widely believed that it becomes difficult to separate them from the truth. Let us debunk some of these common misconceptions: #Myth: Psychologists can read minds. #Fact: Psychologists try to understand your thoughts and emotions and provide an empathetic environment for free expression. Their only way of knowing your thoughts is by listening to you express yourself. #Myth: People who like to be neat and organised have OCD. #Fact: Obsessive Compulsive Disorder or OCD is associated with recurrent unwanted thoughts and fears (obsessions), followed by repetitive behaviors (compulsions) that interfere with daily life functioning. The obsessions differ from person to person, and not all people with OCD are neat and organised. #Myth: Psychology is a pseudo-science. #Fact: Psychology relies on empirical research and scientific methods to investigate human behavior. It is important to note that psychology is a young science and possesses some limitations since human behavior is complex and dynamic in nature. #Myth: Psychologists are paid to listen. #Fact: Psychologists, specifically therapists engage in active listening along with asking questions, providing guidance, and helping the client adopt healthier ways of thinking. Different careers in psychology have different roles and duties. #Myth: More analytical People are left-brained whereas, more creative people are right-brained. #Fact: People utilise both hemispheres of their brains equally. While various abilities are localised in distinct brain regions, these skills are facilitated by connections between different parts. A specific brain region can strengthen if a person's lifestyle consistently engages that area. However, this enhancement is limited to the particular region, not the entire left or right hemisphere. Are there any more myths about psychology that you have come across?
