5 common myths about Psychology

myths about Psychology

Psychology degree develops a broad understanding of human behavior along with skills to interpret and understand findings regarding that behavior. This includes developmental, cognitive, behavioral and neural studies, social and clinical psychology, learning and personality. Before enrolling in this course, potential students are always faced with the common misconceptions and myths of the Psychology degree.

1- Psychologist are able to read minds

This most popular belief is not true at all, as the students are not trained in reading minds at all. Yes, it is the study of human mind and behavior, so psychologists may be able to predict certain behavior in the long run by recording, describing and observing the behavior as accurately as possible, but not read minds.

2- Psychologists only deal with mentally challenged people

Psychologist do not only work with mentally challenged people, but a lot of normal people go for therapy sessions who just want to end their emotional and mental stress. Not everyone who seeks a psychologist has a psychological disorder.

3- Studying psychology is all about common sense and giving advice

It is often understood that psychology is not a hard subject and that it only involves common sense as the psychologists only gives advices to their patients. Psychology relies on science rather than common sense. But this is not true because the degree is interdisciplinary and combines a lot of hard yet interesting methods and subjects.

4-Psychologist don’t make a difference in the world

Often termed as unimportant, but psychologist offer counselling for people to manage their mental illnesses, cope with daily stress, and give individual and group therapies. In turn, they help people become a better person, and the list goes on about psychology’s impact on the whole world.

5- Graduates can’t work in various fields or roles

Psychology students find themselves working in different fields from media to human resources. Graduates can choose to become counselors, clinical psychologists, market research analyst, rehabilitation specialist, teachers/professors, recruitment consultant and many more.

We hope that this helps you understand the field of Psychology and the myths as well. Want to apply for a program for Psychology in Turkey? Contact Studykoy so we can guide you. Reach out to us today!
