What is psychology? Derived from two Greek roots, “psyche” (meaning mind, soul) and “logos” (meaning the study of) Literally means “study of the mind” Atkinson et al. (1991) states that psychology is “The scientific study of behavior and mental processes”

WHERE DID PSYCHOLOGY COME FROM? Question one: WHERE DID PSYCHOLOGY COME FROM?

History of psychology SO….Where did Psychology come from?? Developed from 3 main areas: Philosophy, Biology, and Physics

History of psychology PHILOSOPHY: First clearly outlined by Greek philosophers like Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle. (5th century BC) Two more recent philosophical influences on the development of psych as a science were: Empiricism (argues that humans should only measure data that is objectively observable [like behavior!]) Positivism: argues that the methods and principles of science should be applied to behavior.

History of psychology Biology: (has two important influences) 1) Evolution: THINK DARWIN! Darwin’s suggestion that humans EVOLVED from other animals. Many discoveries in genetics came from these evolutionary theories which helped in the study and further understanding of BEHAVIOR. 2) Physiology: these are discoveries, mostly by the medical profession, of the structure and function of the brain, nervous and endocrine systems have significantly contributed to the understanding of behavior.

History of psychology PHYSICS: This is a subject that, because of its great success, has been adopted as the ideal model by scientists in psychology, who have borrowed its scientific methods and principles. Physicists (like FECHNER) started applying their subject to human behavior and experience (psychophysics) in the 19th century, with some success.

History of psychology RECAP: List the three “places” psychology has come from. What are two recent philosophical influences on the development of psychology as a science? What are the two important influences biology has on psychology? What was “borrowed” from physics?
