Psychology is a fucking joke

>headline
You can't judge scientific research from a pop-sci news headline. The people writing those articles are not qualified to comment on or even just to summarize the work they're writing about.

Pavlov it's psychology, Skinner it's psychology, Watson, etc...

It's not just Psychonanalists and personality analysts.

There's always a range for critiscm in every study, enviromental, socio-cultural, or the main problem that it is the sample pool.

You are always limited to the amount and kind of people you can make the research on.

Cognitive psychology, it's the psychology of campus students in the 18 to 25 range, cause that's the experimental subjects they used every single time.

But now with the internet and more widespread studies, you can make better more relevant research, sadly they reduce themselves to this ridiculous studies that were done in the 1930's already.

Sad!

academia in general is totally cancerous

>implying that personality is entirely determined by genes
You are really biased by /pol/, geez

>When preschoolers spend time around one another, they tend to take on each others’ personalities, indicates a new study by Michigan State University researchers, which suggests personality is shaped by environment and not just genes.
Could also be that similar people find each other.

It's all pathetic and funny until they start building models to manipulate us, and actually start applying them to the majority of idiots
