Description
This article is from the Psychology FAQ, by Rolf Marvin Bøe Lindgren roffe@tag.uio.no with numerous contributions by others.
01 Introduction
An FAQ is a list of answers to those questions which appear very
often. The purpose of an FAQ is twofold as a general service to the
readers: to avoid needless cluttering of the group, and to provide
answers to questions that seem to be of importance to a lot of people.
This FAQ is intended for readers of the sci.* hierarchy. As such, it
concentrates on questions regarding academic psychology. It does not
attempt to cover mental health or self-help, but it does have pointers
to such information.
Academic psychology being what it is, the study of human development,
thought and behavior, closely linked to epistemology, philosophy,
sociology, anthropology and in general all things arguable, this FAQ
will be a target for flames and discussion. Which is, I suppose, how
it should be. Corrections, additions, questions and meta-questions can
be directed to me or to the group as considered appropriate.
This FAQ will be posted monthly.
In addition to questions asked on sci.psychology, I have included
questions that I receive personally from time to time.
