32. The Biological Perspective Biological Psychologists look for connections between events in the brain and behavior and mental processes. Biological Psychologists have learned that certain chemicals in the brain are connected with the storage of information– that is formation of memories. Biological psychologists are also interested in the influences of hormones and genes. (Hormones are released in the bloodstream and control functions such as growth and digestion. Genes are the basic building blocks of heredity.

33. Biological Perspective

34. The Cognitive Perspective The Cognitive Psychologists focus on how people think. They are interested in how people take in, process, store, and retrieve information.

35. The Humanistic Perspective The Humanistic Perspective stresses the human capacity for self-fulfillment and the capacity to make choices. The humanists believe in free will. They also believe that healthy people have an innate drive to realize their potentialities. They view people as basically good and emphasize conscious thought.

36. Humanistic Perspective

37. The Psychoanalytic Perspective We associate Freud with this perspective. The Psychoanalytic Perspective stresses the influence of unconscious forces on human behavior. This perspective also stresses the impact of unresolved conflict in childhood

38. The Behavioral/Learning Perspective The founding father of this perspective is John B. Watson. The Behavioral Perspective believes that we learn certain responses through rewards and punishments.

39. The Social-Cultural Perspective The Sociocultural Perspective addresses such issues as: Ethnicity Culture Socioeconomic Status They also examine gender

41. Applying Perspectives

42. Neuroscience: Perhaps Dennis Rodman has a high level of estrogen that makes him feel as though he should wear women’s clothes. Psychodynamic: Perhaps Dennis was traumatized as a child when he was not permitted to have a Halloween costume. He has repressed the memory into his unconscious, but, as a result dresses in outrageous clothing to try and overcompensate for his loss as a child. Behavioral: Perhaps whenever Dennis dyed his hair or got a new tattoo he was rewarded with a lot of attention. Dennis liked the attention so he continues to dye his hair and add to his tattoo collection.

43. Cognitive: Dennis interprets his role in the NBA as needing to create attention for his team. As a result, he thinks that by cross-dressing, dying his hair, and tattooing his body, his team will get the attention and press that it requires. Social-Cultural: Perhaps in the NBA culture, these behaviors occur often and are widely accepted; thus, Dennis Rodman believes his behavior to be typical and not out of the ordinary. Humanistic: Dennis has free will to dress and behave any way he wants. Perhaps he feels that by that by tattooing his body and dying his hair he is reaching his full potential as unique individual.
