1 Sociocultural Behavioral Psychoanalytic APPROACHES TO PSYCHOLOGY Humanistic Biological Cognitive

2 Psychology Psyche: mind Logos: Knowledge or study of
Definition: The scientific study of human and animal behavior and mental processes

3 Behaviors Observable actions and responses
Overt – can be directly observed Covert – cannot be directly observed

4 Personality An individual’s characteristic pattern of thinking, feeling, and acting. Trait Psychology Big 5 Traits – inherited/genetic (extraversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, openness to experience, emotional stability) Internal/External Locus of Control (learned helplessness) Temperments Reciprocal Determinism – traits, environment, and behavior all interact and influence each other

5 Types of Personalities
Type A Type B Feel time pressure. Easily angered. Competitive and ambitious. Work hard and play hard. More prone to heart disease than rest of population. Relaxed and easygoing. But some people fit in neither type.

6 Goals of Psychology Describe behavior Explain/Understand behavior
Predict behavior Influence/Control behavior During the process of trying to explain human behavior, psychologists create hypothesis and test them. A hypothesis is an educated guess. They use the knowledge gained to create theories that will help them predict and influence human behavior. Just like scientists, Psychologists use the scientific method of research Can you think of an example that illustrates each of the goals of psychology?

7 History of Psychology Phrenology – Examining bumps on the skull to determine intellect and character traits (19th century) Phrenology encouraged psychologists to study the role of the brain, rather than the heart, in human behavior. Past attempts at understanding human behavior (weird or not) have led to what we know today and shaped the current Approaches to Psychology

8 Wilhelm Wundt “Father of psychology”
Started 1st lab to study humans (1879) Established Psychology as formal field of study Introspection – self observation, report thoughts and feelings Tichener – brought Wundt’s ideas to U.S. and renamed Structuralism Wundt would ask individuals to perform activities and then ask them to report their own sensations. Wundt took a scientific approach to human behavior, probably because of his background in the field of science. He wanted to break down the basic elements of human experience and try to understand each part.

9 William James “Father of MODERN Psychology” or “Father of Psychology in the U.S.” Principles in Psychology = 1st Psychology Textbook Influenced by Darwin Functionalism Principles of Psychology was the 1st Psychology textbook James taught the first psychology class at Harvard in 1875

10 Gestalt Psychology Led by Max Wertheimer, these guys focused not on how we feel, but on how we experience the world. The whole of an experience can be more than the sum of its parts. Think for a moment of all the reasons that you love your mom. If you add all those reasons up, do they equal your love for your mom? Hopefully not!!! This may seem like one picture, but it can be perceived as 3 different faces. Can you find them?

25 SOCIOCULTURAL Key ideas Cultural influence on behavior Gender
Socioeconomic status Traditions

26 Evolutionary Psychology
Stemmed from Darwin Survival of the fittest How does our behavior adapt to our environment and help ensure our survival?

27 Eclecticism By combining information from all of the approaches, psychologists stand a better chance of describing, explaining, predicting, and controlling behavior.

28 Psychology as a Profession
