Wundt: Quick Revision

Wundt and Introspection Assumptions/contributions to psychology Psychology should be a discipline in its own right Thought/behaviour should be studied scientifically The environment should be highly controlled when studying people The study of Ps present experience made possible by introspection

Methods of study Introspection: Wundt Believed that Ps can be trained to objectively report on subtle changes in their perceptions and experiences (for example, a metronome slowing) Laboratory: Highly controlled environment. First experimental laboratory in Leipzig (Germany) in 1879

Commentary/Evaluation Positive Pioneer in the field of experimental Psychology Led the way in believing that psychology could be studied empirically and therefore, scientifically. Methods still used when trying to investigate difficult to measure emotions, such as ‘happiness’ and cognitive functions

Commentary/Evaluation Negative Self-reporting, even after training, is too subjective and open to inaccuracies; lacks scientific rigour. What the person reports cannot be verified by an independent observer, so it is impossible to check for validity and reliability Introspection as a valid method of inquiry rejected by behaviourists as unscientific.
