Presentation transcript:

 looks for causes of behavior by studying genes, brain, & nervous system  Determinism = life events determined by mental, physical, & behavioral tendencies; actions are beyond your control  Opposite view: free will. Power to control own behavior  Charles Darwin: natural selection

 understand ourselves by looking at our minds  actions influenced by our interpretation of experiences  look at world through other people’s eyes  combination of structuralism & functionalism

 looks to understand the mind, BUT places heavy emphasis on motives & mental conflicts  treatment of mental disorders  Freud & psychoanalysis; study of unresolved, deep feelings of anger/resentment  LETHAL behavior

 human ability, growth, & potential  people have free will to make choices about their lives  includes people who “feel like a nobody, but want to be somebody”, or someone who is too narcissistic  counselors & psychotherapists

 source of our behavior is based on environment vs. biology or mind  can only study observable behavior (Skinner)  Skinner prefaced Watson by saying our actions are determined by rewards & punishments

 other people influence our behavior just as much as we influence our own  decides which social behaviors are appropriate/inappropriate  social learning  we learn from other’s behaviors; driven by rewards & punishments (ex: media violence)
