Document Summary
People differ from each other on emotional behaviour. Reciprocal determinism we mutually influence each others behaviour. Emic: you can try to get their point of view. Na ve realism: belief we see the world as it is, never question it but maybe we should, we can"t trust our common sense always intuitive. Misconceptions: explains just one event, is just an educated guess. Over reliance on anecdotes; here is an example that worked for one person. Absence of link to other research; no sufficient research. So-so chance; false claims in absence of other research. Lack of peer review; 1000 studies done by us, we found. Lack of correlation; some people say this, sticking to what we see. Proof instead of evidence; can never be 100% in science. Apophenia: tendency to perceive meaningful connection among unrelated phenomena; karma is an elusion just a pleasure in the misfortune of others.
