Folk psychology
Folk psychology, commonsense psychology, or naïve psychology, is the ordinary, intuitive, or non-expert understanding, explanation, and rationalisation of people's behaviours and mental states. In philosophy of mind and cognitive science, it can also refer to the academic study of this concept. Processes and items encountered in daily life such as pain, pleasure, excitement, and anxiety use common linguistic terms as opposed to technical or scientific jargon. Folk psychology allows for an insight into social interactions and communication, thus stretching the importance of connection and how it is experienced.
