Unit1, Chapter 1, Section 1 Why Study Psychology? Mr. Young 1 st and 6 th periods

Why Study Psychology Physiological- having to do with an organism’s physical processes (eating, sleeping, moving) Cognitive- having to do with an organism’s thinking and understanding (feelings, emotions)

Overview of Psychology Psychology- scientific study of behavior and mental processes Can involve both animals and humans Some believe you should only study what you can see, others believe that you need what you cant see as well

The Goals of Psychology Broken down into four different ideas 1. Describe 2. Explain 3. Predict 4. Influence behavior

Description First goal, must describe or gather information about behavior being studied and present what is known

Explanation Explain why people or animals behave as they do 1. Hypothesis- assumption or prediction about behavior that is tested through scientific research 2. Theory- complex explanation based on findings from hypothesis

Prediction Will use different hypothesis and theories to predict human or animal behavior Will study descriptive and theoretical accounts of the past to try and explain future behavior

Influence Basic science- the pursuit of knowledge about natural phenomena for its own sake Applied science- discovering ways to use scientific findings to accomplish practical goals

Learning Different Perspectives Look at this picture from Rene Magrittes called The Human Condition

Wilhelm Wundt and SM

The Scientific Basis of Psychology Also use the scientific method, identify specific problems or questions, formulate a hypothesis, collect data through observations and experiments, and analyze the data Wilhelm Wundt- created first psychological lab in Germany, 1879 Called procedure “introspection” or what we know as scientific method
