3 Main Levels of Analysis Biological Psychological Social-Cultural

Approaches/Perspectives Draw This Approaches/Perspectives Look at Table 1.1 on page 11. Psychology’s Approaches Pg 11. Table 1.1

Psychodynamic Looking back into our past experiences. (Thumb) Are there things that have happened that shaped our behavior? Through therapeutic techniques (Psychoanalysis) we can “unlock” previously repressed feelings. Throw thumb over your shoulder, “look back”.

Cognition The BRAAAAIN! (What does the brain control?) All mental activities Thinking Knowing Remembering Communicating Interventions Drugs Injuries Implants

Behavioral Observable Measurable (Pavlov) Learning to behave: Reinforcements (+ and - ) Punishments Fears Successes Have a student come up. 1. Encourage an action=give positive reinforcement. 2.*New student. Encourage same action=same positive reinforcement. 3. Same student. Have class encourage an action=negative reinforcement.

Humanistic Self Actualization Positive affirmations Working towards personal growth Maslow’s Hierarchy of needs: Physiological Safety Belongingness Esteem (from self and others) Need for self-actualization

Biological Study of brain circuits (Neurons) Genetic predispositions Hormonal influences How we might respond in certain situations. “red in the face” “Hot under the collar” “cool as a cucumber”

SMILE!! Social-Cultural How does our behavior and thinking vary across situations and cultures? Do the differences in our cultures mold how we act, think and react? SMILE!! Its universal SMILE!! Though most language isn’t universal, a smile is universally accepted as a positive thing!

Evolutionary Natural Selection OF TRAITS- Darwin What’s that?! The species with the strongest trait for the environment will thrive and eventually outnumber those who do NOT.
