How do you know what’s the latest hot tech? Do you read forums? Join group chats? Befriend people who like to code side projects for fun?

I am not in the psychology practice, so I am confused as to why these are important to the point that they are tested rigorously in board exams. Forgive me if this is a dumb question as I am not versed in psychology knowledge

I question how they help us perceive people when we ourselves have our own opinions as to how those people act. We have our own theories. For example, if someone is crying, we immediately think ah the person is going through something or depressed, etc

The theories are also theories so by definition, the theories of personality can be challenged

Why study them if they aren’t hard evidence that is 100% correct and is subject to change depending on the person?

I’m looking into forensic psychology as a career path. I do not like giving therapy and counseling as these are very demanding in empathy. Is it disadvantageous for me to choose this career, especially since forensic psychologists partly give rehabilitation programs and psychological assistance to their clients? Is there any way to avoid this or is this a reality of the job?

What common jobs do they do? How’s the research work?

What is the usual passing rate?

Musta yung schools na yun in terms of clinical practice and research? I don’t care kung nagproproduce ng board topnotcher. Ang mahalaga sakin is yung clinical practice and research skill

I am lost at what it means.

Is it

1. a graph that shows exactly how much of each data point we have in the data set (ex. We have 50 students who scored 78 in the test and the curve shows there are 50 for the 78 data point)

2. a graph that shows visually how frequent a data point occurs (taller part means more frequent and shorter part means less frequent) but it doesn’t show exactly how many per point since it just visually shows how frequent it occurs? Which means we could see the 78 data point part have a tall curve but we don’t know that 50 students got that score

Even though this is a beginner’s concept, I’m really confused (I’m a beginner at stat) 😅

If the client is getting better even if we aren’t busy?

They believe it is just and therefore a requirement to physically hurt people and corner them when they make mistakes. Their reasoning is their family did this when they would spill drinks, spend so much on accident, or do bad things so they slowly started believing this is the right thing to do.

How do you counsel this client? They haven’t hurt anyone

Mine is too big and I look like I have a boner. Also it’s hard to wear dresses and skirts with one

Do I need to get boxer briefs and layer many shorts/underwear for this guy?

How come yung mga computer science at statistics students sa univ ko ay kaya makakuha ng trabaho but so many people sa subreddit na to ay di makakuha ng trabaho?

What made us believe it must be the average of the squared deviations from the mean?

How do we derive the math of the standard deviation?

Is this the euclidean distance from the data point vector from mean vector then we standardize this by dividing by sqr root (n) or ?

What I grasped so far is:

- the summation of squared deviations is the squared Euclidean distances of the data points from the mean

- we divide this summation by n to normalize it. This means it should be approximately the distance from any data point to the mean

- we then square root the whole thing because our units are currently squared thanks to the squared Euclidean distances so taking the root resets the units to the units of the rest of the data set, making the result easily comparable. This is then our standard deviation

This means we should take the standard deviation as the typical distance of any data point from the mean. This means if the standard deviation is 7 cm, then the data points are usually approximately 7 cm from the mean, but they can go way beyond or we nearer

This is very hard for me to grasp. I feel my last conclusion about the typical distance is wrong since we could probably have edge cases where the variations are vastly different from each other but the standard deviation is still say 7 cm
