Pseudoscience refers to ideas that are presented as science but do not actually utilize basic principles of scientific thinking or procedure. Biopsychosocial model is a means of explaining behavior as a product of biological, psychological, and sociocultural factors. Scientific literacy is the ability to understand, analyze, and apply scientific information.
