Generally put, anthropology emphasizes culture in shaping human identity, whereas psychology sides more with biochemical explanations based on medical understandings of the brain and its functions. As such, as an anthropologist 'in training,' I'm interested in the cultures that develop in MMOs, rather than the psychology of why people are attracted to these games, etc. I hope that made some sense =)
It did. xD
My friend is a freshman in Psychology major and she's learning those biological facts about human brain all over again. Drawing the noron cells she's been drawing since grade 9, haha.
Anthropology seems interesting when you can use your learning to investigate Maple's community. I've always given it a thought but never from a scientific point of view.
