This resource explores the transition of psychology from intuitive beliefs to empirical science. It begins by defining psychology as the scientific study of behavior and mental processes, emphasizing the need for empirical evidence over common myths. Through various activities, including sorting claims into 'Popular Myths' and 'Empirical Science,' learners learn to differentiate between anecdotal evidence and scientifically verified information. Reflection exercises prompt students to consider the meaning of empirical evidence and the contrast between subjective experiences and objective data. Additionally, the document presents the four primary goals of psychology: Describe, Explain, Predict, and Influence/Control, encouraging participants to engage in critical thinking about these concepts and their application in the field.
