Psychological positivism is associated with the way that criminals behave. It states that something within a criminal's psychological makeup lends itself to their behavior, and is usually due to parental negligence. It is different from the biological positivists, who believe that criminals are simply born bad people.
Realism
Philosophy: In summary, situational realism is a school of thought that derived from the empirical philosophy of John Anderson, Challis Professor of Psychology at the University of Sydney (See Hibberd, 2009/2011 for further details). It is also colloquially known as Andersonian realism, Australian Realism, as well as Sydney realism. Situational realism states that there is a direct relation between a subject and an object term in a cognitive relation (Michell, 1988/2011). Situational realism sets itself aside by its "ontological egalitarianism" (Mackary & Petocz, 2011) to which it states that there is only a single way of being, i.e. one spatial-temporal universe that everything exists within. Moreover, situational realism also states that reality has to thought in terms of relations, namely comprising of the subject and object term. All situations comprises of at least two terms but there can be more than just the subject and object term, i.e. complex. It follows that situations exhaust reality (Hibberd, 2009/2011) and that cognition cannot be reduced to just one term or the relation. For example, Adam is taller than James. Being taller is a relation and it is difficult without reference to James to know that Adam is taller. It is from the larger, more complex relation involving Adam, James and the relation of being taller that we understand what the statement of Adam is taller than James means.ReferencesHibberd, F. J.

I believe that it refers to excessively optomistic propaganda which incites people to believe that good will come of the actions being undertaken, regardless of justification. I am citing from "The God That Failed" edited by Richard Crossman page 206: "Once I was ill in Moscow for several weeks. After a time, when friends telephoned to inquire about me, Markoosha, my wife, would reply, "He's much better but he doesn't know it yet." That is the domestic version of "Soviet realism," intended, since it was said in my hearing, to serve as a kinda of Coueistic propaganda." It goes on to describe "Soviet realism" instead of propaganda but since elsewhere on the web "Coueistic" refers to excessive optomism, I would assume that this is the meaning in terms of propaganda.

The opposite of positivism is typically considered to be interpretivism or constructivism. While positivism emphasizes objective facts and observable phenomena, interpretivism focuses on subjective experiences and the importance of interpretation in understanding social phenomena.
