Psychology Perspectives

Psychology The scientific study of behavior and mental processes. –Uses scientific research methods. –Behavior includes all observable behavior. –Mental processes include thoughts, feelings and dreams.

What does that mean? Psychology is a SCIENCE – we rely on scientific methods in order to answer questions like… What motivates people to choose the paths they do? Why do some people succeed and other fail?

Behavior This is a very broad range of interesting topics Behaviors are things we can observe – like standing up, laughing, dancing

Mental Processes These are our thoughts, feelings, and dreams

Six Contemporary Psychological Perspectives Yes there are 7 we are doing 6 Module 1: Introduction, History, Perspectives, and Careers

Psychological Perspectives Method of classifying a collection of ideas Also called “schools of thought” Also called “psychological approaches” To view behavior from a particular perspective

Cognitive Perspective Focus: On how people think and process information Behavior is explained by how a person interprets the situation

Biological Perspective Focus: How our biological structures and substances underlie a given behavior, thought, or emotion Behavior is explained by brain chemistry, genetics, glands, etc.

Social-Cultural Perspective Focus: How thinking and behavior change depending on the setting or situation Behavior is explained by the influence of other people present

Behavioral Perspective Focus: How we learn through rewards, punishments, and observation Behavior is explained by previous learning

Humanistic Perspective Focus: How healthy people strive to reach their full potential Behavior is explained as being motivated by satisfying needs (safety, hunger, thirst, etc.), with the goal of reaching one’s full potential once basic needs are met.

Psychoanalytic Perspective Focus: How behavior is affected by unconscious drives and conflicts Behavior is explained through unconscious motivation and unresolved inner conflicts from one’s childhood.

Evolutionary Perspective From Darwin’s theories of evolution The idea that we have the same ancestors as primates so they can shed light into why we behave the way we do. Used in pop-culture frequently
