what does psych et al mean?
Psych et al. stems from the combination of two words "psych" and "et al". Psych is the shorthand for Psychology while "et al" is a term used when citing research literature and is Latin for 'and others'. The aim of Psych et al., is to bring forth the psychological concepts that are hidden in plain sight and of course, do our part in trying to challenge the still-existing stigma around Psychology.
how did psych et al begin?
We are two psych graduates jaded by questions like "Can you read my mind?" and "Are you diagnosing me right now?". And no matter how many times a little part inside us dies or how many times we want to scream, we shake our heads and say "No that is not psychology nor do we do that".
​
It does, however, make us consider how much the average person misses out on by not understanding the importance of psychology and how it affects their daily lives. Disclaimer, we are of the totally unbiased opinion that psychology is very important.
​
Whether it is superstitious behaviour or how we define our identities, psychology helps us explain these thoughts and behaviours.
​
Fascinating right?
​
We think so too.
​
We hope through Psych et al., we are able to show you how, in our everyday lives, psychology hides in plain sight while also feeding our never-ending curiosity.
