Mentally deficient-militant-geriatric-feminist-sociopathic-neo-Nazi psychology lecturers who get freaky thrills out of abusing students who ask perfectly reasonable questions, in order to cover up their sheer grinding inadequacy.
Psychology lecturers who have a PhD in "science", yet are incapable of understanding the concept of an independent variable.
Infantile psychology lecturers who copy and paste the textbook onto slides, read them at us for two hours, then repeat. People ask questions to which they answer, “Uhhmmmmmm...look in the text??!!”
Pitiful attempts by psychologists to justify their "science" by using statistics, and Ohhhh NoeZsss TeHH reSeARCH MethodsSS 111 _shift111.
The tendency for psychology to compensate for its lack of rigour by enforcing draconian formatting rules. I’m sorry, but the fact that the indentation of the introduction paragraph is three fifths of a bee’s weanus times the square root of the vector of Mars’ rotational velocity relative to a chicken’s doodle is not going to improve the validity of your ridiculous research. Psychology’s mooching off medicine’s scientific validity. I’m sorry, but a discipline which has its roots in a delusional, drug dealing, china-snorting sex addict has very little credibility.
Psychology’s senseless preoccupation with concepts which are merely constructs. For example, intelligence doesn’t actually exist, it’s just a word we use for people being competent at a range of arbitrarily chosen general abilities.
Psychology’s obsession with extensive correlational research regarding said constructs. For example, examining whether or not there is a correlation between intelligence and creativity. What a retarded question. Clearly there is no absolute measure of either, idiots.
People who think that psychologists can read minds. They can’t, and for the above reasons, I think they’re probably worse than a non-psychologist.
Psychology’s tendency to assume that “if you think correctly”, nothing will ever go wrong. You’ll never be depressed, anxious, stressed, grieving. You just need some CBT. I’m sorry, but if my entire family have been brutally raped and murdered I’m not to be helped by some numpty talking about my underlying cognitive constructs. Some things are just bad. (NB. Just an example!)
Psychology assignments which ask students to work backwards from a retarded, nonsensical hypothesis to use past research to justify research that no thinking person would ever engage in.
Psychology’s tendency to take something inexplicable, eg. human love, then claim to have explained it with some detestable 3-D pyramid or flowchart. Please go and die.
Psychology exams which aim to examine everything except the course content. It seems as if they’re chiefly interested in how well we can remember the exact definitions of words, which have perfectly analogous terms from common language. Then they ask us to write an essay about an irrelevant detail from the course. Muppets.
Psychology in general. It has ruined something which I believe could be a fascinating and worthwhile field of study.
Can anyone relate to my experience?
Maybe I’m going mad ARRRRRGHHHHGGGGGGGGG!!!
