What difference of ethics and psychology?

Answer 1

Psychology is the scientific study of behavior and mental processes. Some people believe psychology is simply the study of people and their behaviors and mental processes but psychology also studies animals. The term "behavior" means outward or overt actions and reactions, including movement and talking. The term "mental processes" refers to all the internal, covert activity of our minds, like thinking and feeling.

The most important difference between pseudo-psychology and psychology is the fact that psychology is scientific. Psychologist can observe and draw conclusions from experiments via the scientific method.

On the other hand, pseudo-psychology, or fake psychology, can be thought of as unsupported information that is NOT scientific nor academic. A great example of pseudo-psychology is Astrology. There are many people who believe in it and take it for granted but there is no scientific information to support its basis and thus it cannot be empirically observed.

Answer 2

The word "psychology" means "study of the psyche." The history of psychology reveals two main trends. Classical psychology is based on introspection of one's own mind. By way of contrast, much psychology in the last century or so is based on observation of behavior. Behavioristic psychology is a social science.

The word "philosopher" means "lover of wisdom." The history of philosophy reveals two main approaches to wisdom.

The emphasis is on no-thought, in other words, nonconeptual awareness.
