Introduction to psychology.
1. Different types of research methods.
2. Research ethics so you can ensure research/experiments you're doing are ethic and safe.
3. Different research perspectives so you can analyze information in different contexts.
Of course, not everyone is into psychology, but most people do research papers for school, work, or simply out of passion. Knowing different research methods is the most essential part of this entire process because you can't base a claim off of nothing. If you're conducting experiments, being educated on research ethics is crucial so everything is safe and secure. Research perspectives are more detailed than the others, but if you truly want to make an in-depth analysis, you should be able to consider different contexts and cultural/region perspectives.

1. Confirmation bias and how it affects what you believe.
2. The different theories of intelligence and how putting people into boxes of intelligence is actually harmful.
3. Belief perseverance and how that also affects what you believe.
Confirmation bias and belief perseverance both affect how you view topics. Belief perseverance is essentially latching onto what we first believe about a topic and confirmation bias is actively seeking out information that agrees with our stance, while avoiding information that's the opposite. It's important to be aware of these psychological things happening so we can be open-minded and be able to change our opinion. Learning about the different theories of intelligence is also important because we get to truly learn how everyone is different in their own way. People have different skillsets and putting everyone is standards is setting up expectation that might not be met.
