Humanistic Psychology - Part III
Criticisms
- The concepts are too vague. Subjective ideas such as real life experiences are difficult to objectify.
- Conclusions made from subjective experiences are almost impossible to verify
Strengths
- Emphasizes on individual choice and responsibility
- Satisfies most people's idea of what being human means because it values personal ideals and self-fulfillment
- Provides researchers with a flexible framework for observing human behavior because it considers a person in the context of his environment and inconjunction with his personal perceptions and feelings
