Do it boldly if you like, find some books, or read some psychology tutorials.
Psychology has its own unique characteristics.
Friends who are new to the field of psychology often feel that psychology is too chaotic, and many schools and theoretical systems come and go, and each system is not so perfect, flawed, too many branches, many disciplines do not have their own systems, and even the research objects of this discipline are endlessly debated.
Some people even think that in the field of psychology, a person is easy to succeed, but it is also the most difficult to convince. In other words, maybe one of your own theories and viewpoints can solve a certain problem in psychology, but it can't solve all the problems that your theoretical system should solve.
So how should we study psychology?
According to my experience, at least you should do the following:
1. Have a systematic and complete understanding and mastery of the basic theories of psychology, which should belong to the academic school, that is to say, have a systematic and complete understanding and understanding of psychology as a whole.
2. Have a general understanding and grasp of the basic viewpoints, representative figures, research and evaluation of various theoretical schools. For example, for psychoanalysis, you should at least understand the origin, basic viewpoints, representative figures and their basic viewpoints, and the current development trend of psychoanalysis.
3. Have a clear understanding of the classic experiments of various theoretical schools. For example, the operant conditioned reflex experiment of behaviorism school and Pavlov's classical conditioned reflex experiment, gestalt experiment and so on.
4. Master experimental analysis, because from the current development trend of psychology, the development of psychological experiments has played a great role in promoting psychology. Therefore, it is necessary to have a certain understanding of experimental design and analysis. Although you are not required to design a psychological experiment independently, at least you should understand the ways and means of experimental design.
