"Popular psychology" in contrast with "Popular psychology" change
Macdonald-ross; en:Popular psychology can have a vastly and significantly different meaning than en:Psychology. Why leave it to misunderstanding? Stewi101015 (talk) 01:02, 24 October 2015 (UTC)
- Because most of popular psychology is outright unscientific, whereas there is real science behind the idea that the hemispheres have a partly differentiated action. Also, as you can see, English wiki has not made much of their page "popular psychology" beyond an extended definition. Besides that, is quite usual to add an adjective before a substantive linked noun. Macdonald-ross (talk) 07:16, 24 October 2015 (UTC)
- Macdonald-ross; The quote "broad generalizations about one side or the other, such as "logical thinking" being in the left side, or "creativity" being in the right one." is not scientific, it is popular psychology not (scientific) psychology. So why did you revert it to the confusing "Popular psychology"? Stewi101015 (talk) 08:12, 24 October 2015 (UTC)
- It is based on science, but is an over-generalisation. Contrast with telepathy, which has no scientific basis. Macdonald-ross (talk) 08:16, 24 October 2015 (UTC)
