Citing sources: Supporting claims with evidence from psychological research.
Challenges and Considerations
Lack of depth: The original text offers superficial advice rather than in-depth psychological analysis.
Oversimplification: Psychological concepts are often oversimplified or misrepresented.
Ethical concerns: Some suggestions, like manipulation, are ethically questionable and require careful handling.
Target audience: The essay's tone and level of detail will depend on the intended audience (e.g., academic, general public).
