Pop psych is a term used to describe simplistic and often sensationalized explanations of psychological concepts that are presented in popular media. Some synonyms for pop psych include "fad psychology," "pseudo-psychology," "pop culture psychology," "armchair psychology," and "self-help psychology." These terms all refer to the same general phenomenon of oversimplified psychological explanations, and they can all carry a somewhat negative connotation. While pop psych can be a useful introduction to psychological concepts for some people, it is important to be aware of its limitations and potential pitfalls, and to seek out more accurate and nuanced information when possible.
