Presentation transcript:

Psychological Perspectives A Quick Overview

Psychodynamic Unconscious urges (forces/instincts) play a role in our behavior Very different than others Popularized/influenced by Freud

Learning/Behaviorism How environment and experiences affect our actions conditioning Psych=science… so has to stick to what you can observe Behaviorism Pavlov, Skinner, Bandura

Biological Focuses on how bodily events (like genes, hormones, nervous system) affect behaviors, feelings, and thoughts (in combination with our environment). Nature vs. Nurture Innate quality vs. external forces/experience?

cognitive Study of thoughts, memories, beliefs, perceptions, explanations, etc. to see how they affect people’s behaviors Studies involving sleeping, hypnosis, memory, dreaming. Perception, language Very strong force today

Sociocultural How do cultural values/political systems/social structures affect our everyday experiences and behaviors? Study: influence of groups, submission to authority, gender roles, relationships, etc. Another dominant force in psychology

Evolutionary Looks at biological mechanisms that affect our choices/survival Things that seem to be universal must be adaptive in nature Universal emotions Common traits when choosing a mate

Humanist Says psych. Is too pessimistic and mindless….we need to focus on human hopes and aspirations Goal: to help people reach their full potential Maslow, Rogers Now…most see it as a life philosophy rather than a science

Feminist Showed biases in research… Focused mainly on white men…too narrow of data Got topics like menstruation, motherhood, female sexuality on the playing field
