Macro-psychology
versus Micro Psychology
Mimicking
the microeconomics and macroeconomics perspective, psychology could also
benefit from this perspective.
Macro-psychology connotes a perspective of looking at the bigger picture
while Micro-psychology denotes the opposite spectrum of this paradigm and that
is of looking at the details of a particular model.
Macro-psychology
then in its simplest notion is about looking at the bigger picture while
micro-psychology is the opposite.
Since
economics is about looking at the allocation of limited resources of man versus
the unlimited wants of man and the usage of macroeconomics and microeconomics
pertains to economic factors and elements; macro-psychology is focused on the
impact of a particular behavior to the overall scheme of things,
micro-psychology is about details of a particular behavior.
Usage
of this concept could be beneficial on topics causality and effect of a
particular behavior to the overall direction of a behavioral equation.
This
is not really an original idea, in fact, this is even a derivative notion but
the usage and methods in the field of psychology could certainly benefit from
the use of the above-mentioned theoretical model.
