People who feel emotions tend to feel emotions more than people who don't feel emotions.

how the fuck would you know that hearing is the last sense you lose when you die? Jesus, shitposting taken to the extreme.
Showmeyourfunnies
Posting intellectual sounding bullshit, that borders on mysticism, without a source? Call it psychology!

Don't mind reposts if they're good. This one is not, and this is like the 4th or 5th time in six months. Leave it the fuck out.

Psychology major here.. do not listen to these

I just found out I am an eccendentesiast who suffers from lalochezia and dysania.

#3, I teach Latin, so I guess I can be creative like people 200 years ago!
DrFapper
So many of these are like buzz feed cliff notes of actual facts. Some only have the topic correct.
EelBowelProbing
So linguists are more likely to suffer from anxiety and depression because they are creative enough to feel pain?

The "first impressions can be changed by spending more time with a person" one? Is dumb. It's called a "first impression" for a reason.
jimmythejedi
When I first met my wife, she hated me. I give shitty first impressions.
funkyphil101wastakensoichosethis
If you spend enough time with someone and they develop dementia or Alzheimer's, then you could change their first impression of you
FloppyWalrus
Well not necessarily, while I do agree there is a lot of nonsense in this post; it could be true that positive exposure over a longer 1/2
FloppyWalrus
Period of time could lead a person to confabulate their first impression into something more positive: no such thing as static memory
PregnantMan
Got any references for that? I'd like to read about it.

Fancy comment is fancy.

Psychologist here. Please ignore this post.
mizzchanandlerbong
Fellow psychologist here. Stuff like this makes my toe nails curl up backwards.. So. Much. Pseudoscience. Bullcrap.
NationalistCanadianMooseWarrior
Don't worry, most people here are pretty aware
flyman93
OMFG NOT PSYCH - Psychologist and Neuroscientist have spent years crafting a wonderful science mapping the brain and predicting behavior
flyman93
Its these types of posts that make psychologists look like jokes!
flyman93
I could do a whole big talk about how awesome the fields of Neuroscience and Psychology are and how they have evolve
mizzchanandlerbong
Please do!

#2 is spelled "Eccedentesiast" and pronounced "imgurian". Sorry @HighSlayerRalton, i stole your joke.

#10 That's not psychology, that's just down to our having more senses than just sight. We're not telepaths.
igotausernamejusttotellyou
10s actually true, learned/studied it in Psych Stats. It's more complicated than the statement made, but it is statistically significant
slartifartfest
Probably based on Dean Radin's work which is has been debunked and makes him a laughing stock, it's not true.
littlegingerone
Shit like this gives psychology a bad name
wowthatwasntexpected
Psych already has a bad name imo
MetalPsychologist
No kidding
Makecba
Shot through the heeeart.. sorry

And op s to blame

#10... I know it feels real, but unless you hear them or something, how on earth could that actually be possible?
thatguy10095
A few are, some I could believe if I saw the article that proved them.
SankingDragon
Never trust an article. Read the actual study, not the science magazine report about the study.
TacoRising
Buzzfeed never lies.
NiceBluishHue
Some are. Some aren't even psychology.
NoodleKeeper
Yeah, some are correct, most don't seem to be.
Borys610
Like the one about sensing other peoples' watching you?
IneedTarrasqueYouSomething
No, that ones true. Its called Gaze-Sensing Reflex. But for it to work, they have to be within your field of vision
IneedTarrasqueYouSomething
Long story short. Specifically designed cells in the brain can detect someone's vision based off their sclera
mallywanders
Most are. It's been on tumblr for years, and most fail a fact check.
MetalPsychologist
I didn't even make it through the list and I can confirm that many of these are too farfetched to even be pseudoscience
FenHaroun
Some are accurate, some are half-truths... e.g. #9 would work on simple tasks, anything requiring concentration and it'd be detrimental
FenHaroun
but I would LOVE to know how the hell anyone is meant to research #18

It's pretty bullshit. No longer friends with someone who had a gut feeling and started ignoring me. I got upset they said they were right.
penguinbashr
Basically ignored me so I'd get upset then validated their gut feeling because of it.
vocalminority
They are. Source: I have a PhD in cognitive psychology. These are bullshit or mis-telling of things that are half true.

I am also interested

Can you elaborate? I'm interested
vocalminority
did my best above. There's a lot of them and comments are not the place to easily discuss science!
qompaqcube
Makes sense. Didn't know if you had any immediate examples
vocalminority
So I don't really have space but to elaborate for instance - the attention span thing. Attention is complicated. That time come from 1/?
vocalminority
Studies where you're given a task to complete. but I mean, you pay attention all the way through a film so clearly bullshit 2/?
vocalminority
Or humans and cats having identical regions for emotion - that's just wrong. Emotion isn't solely located to start with 3/?
vocalminority
Cats have much smaller and less complicated brains, and if they mean we both have amygdala then that includes a LOT of animals 4/?
MaceAries
It pretty much is pseudoscience I would say like 1/3 of psychology is solid science.
NiceBluishHue
This is either a great use of irony or blind ignorance.
MaceAries
Sounds like someone is a psychology major and thinks their degree is worth something.
NiceBluishHue
Haha. Your initial statement has no evidence behind it. You've just stated an untrue opinion, whilst discussing "solid science". Hypocrisy.
MaceAries
It's not really practical to state an opinion/fact and then list off sources in 140 characters, nor should I be expected to.
MaceAries
My example of pseudoscience in psychology is Jane Elliott. Treat someone poorly and they react to that... that's science? OK.
