Summary
Kotaro Suzuki, Jacques Vauclair: On Myths in Psychology
Psychology, like any other scientific field, has given birth to quite a number of unusual stories that ignited the imagination of ordinary people. Many of these have been found to be unscientifically based, but are still believed to be true by the general public. This book enumerates nine such myths, i.e. mystifications, which have marked the annals of psychology. Among others, you will find the famous story of the wolf children of India, James Vicary's "discoveries" related to subliminal messages, the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis according to which language determines our perceptions, the story of the alleged language abilities of monkeys and the transmission of memory through food in flatworms, as well as false statistics on the inheritance of intelligence in twins. Whether these stories are based on honest, albeit poorly conducted research or are real scientific frauds, the sensation-seeking media spread and magnified them. In order for the public to better understand the scientific knowledge that psychology has achieved, it is necessary to demystify it, which the authors of this book, having put in a lot of effort, managed to achieve.
