Common Sense Psychology

Common Sense Psychology refers to the intuitive understanding most people have about human behavior and mental processes. It consists of beliefs and assumptions we use daily to interpret our own actions and those of others, often based on personal experiences and cultural norms. For example, we might assume someone is sad if they are withdrawn or happy if they are smiling. While this intuitive knowledge can be useful, it may also oversimplify complex psychological issues or lead to misunderstandings, as it lacks the rigor and depth of scientific psychology.
