In humanistic approaches, support positive emotions such as it emphasizes individual choice and responsibility.Humanistic psychology satisfies most people’s idea of what being human means because it values personal ideals and self-fulfillment. | There is too much emphasis on subjective experience- Hard to study.This approach is not scientific- Does not use any rigorous, objective methods and doesn’t make predictions that can be proved or disproved.Places emphasis on conscious awareness- this limits the scope of the humanistic approach as it ignores things that are out of conscious awareness.
For example : if we give an assignment in a group of students to design traffic signal ,smrt students will work out fast slow learners and inclusions will get ignored . Slow learners learn only the designing from the group. They won’t understand the scientific concept/rulers.So in this method , more importance given to group work, individual learning cannot be measured easily.
