The psychological information in the textbook is based on empirical evidence, which means that it is supported by scientific research and data. This is different from pop psych, which often relies on anecdotal evidence, personal opinions, or untested theories. The other choices (psychoanalytic truths, prominent authors, and up-to-date theories) are not necessarily reliable sources of psychological information.
