1.  Warm up: 1._____________ focuses on the most basic elements of human experience. 2.____________focuses on goals of behavior in both humans and animals. 3.____________looking at the WHOLE, rather than each separate piece. HAPPY WEDNESDAY!

2. PSYCHOANALYTIC  Sigmund Freud  “Our conscious experiences are only the tip of the iceberg, that beneath the surface are primitive biological urges that are in conflict with the requirements of society and morality.”  Let’s think.. How would this create conflict?  Psychoanalyst: studies unconscious motives/conflicts that determine how individuals think, act, and feel.  Methods- Free association, Dream analysis, Case study

3. FREE ASSOCIATION Write down the first thought that comes to mind as I read from a list of words.

4. FREE ASSOCIATION  What can you determine about the person whose list you are reviewing?  Are their thoughts similar to yours?  What difficulties are presented through this method for analyzing personalities?

5. BEHAVIORAL  Ivan Pavlov, John Watson, B.F. Skinner  Study of observable behavior, and responses to events in individuals environment  Focus on conditioning, stimulus, reinforcement

6. HUMANISTIC  Response to behavioral psychology  Abraham Maslow, Carl Rogers  Human nature is evolving and self-directed  Humans are NOT controlled by their environments/events  Believe each individual has potential to develop fully (personal growth) SELF-ACTUALIZATION

7. COGNITIVE  Jean Piaget, Noam Chomsky  Study how we process, store, retrieve, and use information  Also how this information influences our thinking/language/problem solving  Focus on perceptions, memories, expectations

8. BIOLOGICAL  Focuses on the impact of biology on behavior  Psychobiologists: study how brain, nervous system, hormones, and genetics influence our behavior  “Behavior is the result of our physiological makeup”  NATURE VS. NURTURE- NATURE!!!!!!

9. SOCIOCULTURAL  Our knowledge and ways of thinking/feeling/behaving depend on the culture you are a member of  Cultural Perspectives plays a huge role!  Gender, Socioeconomic status may also play a role in how you think/feel/behave

10. QUICK RUN THROUGH... AGAIN!  http://education-portal.com/academy/lesson/what-is- psychology.html#lesson

11. LET’S SEE…  Consider the following scenarios:  SCENARIO 1: You are attempting to figure out a way to teach your dog, Muffin, how to turn off the lights. Each time Muffin turns off the lights, you give her a treat. -What type of approach would this be using?  SCENARIO 2: You are studying the genetics of your family to figure out what makes your mom and sister react the way they do to certain situations. -What type of approach would this be using?  SCENARIO 3: You are examining different culture values and beliefs to discover what makes French citizens behave differently than American citizens. -What type of approach would this be using?

12. QUICK WRITE- ROUND ROBIN  1 sheet of paper  Each person is to write one similarity/difference they can draw from the different approaches to psychology.

13.  PINK: Darian, Max, Destany, Triston  PURPLE: DeMari, Robin, Mariah P., Zach  ORANGE: Kaylee, Emma, James, Adam  LIGHT BLUE: Shamar, Maylin, Bailey, Billy  GREEN: Johnna, Iyanna, Hannah, Christen  BLUE: Kahlil, Christopher, Terrain  HEARTS: Lilia, Gavriella, Mariah, Holly PLEASE FIND YOUR GROUP!

14.  Warm up:  Which approach comes to mind for each of the following…  1. Unconscious mind, primitive urges vs. morality  2. Self-actualization  3. Brain, nervous system  4. Socioeconomic, culture  5. Observable behaviors, reinforcement/punishment  6. Memory, thought process HAPPY THURSDAY!

15. WHO USES THIS?!  Page 24-28  Divide your paper into 8 sections  At the top of each section, label the following… “Psychiatrist, clinical psychologist, counseling psychologist, developmental psychologist, educational psychologist, community psychologist, industrial psychologist, experimental psychologist” In each section you are to draw an image illustrating the type of psychologist and what their focus is- BE CREATIVE!

16. GOALS OF PSYCHOLOGY  Why study animals and humans?

17. GOAL #1 - DESCRIBE Gather information about a behavior being studied Present what is known What is a behavior?

18. GOAL #2- EXPLANATION  Beyond just stating facts  WHY  Psychological principles- valid ideas about behavior  Proposed as a hypothesis  Complex explanations : THEORIES

19. GOAL #3- PREDICTION  AFTER knowledge has been accumulated  What is my dog going to do next?  How will Lanae feel when her mom yells at her?  Study past behaviors

20. GOAL #4- INFLUENCE  Basic science- research  How can what we already know help others?  Applied science- solve problems

21. HOW DO WE KNOW THIS IS ACCURATE?  SCIENTIFIC METHOD  Facts are based on data through RESEARCH

22.  1- Ask specific question  2- Select your SAMPLE REPRESENTATIVE VS. NONREPRESENTATIVE RESEARCH Avoid nonrepresentative: using random or stratified sample (each subgroup is represented)

23. How far can an average 50 year old man run? Representative- includes a wide variety of 50 year old men Nonrepresentative- includes a variety of 50 year old men, 95% who are marathon runners

24. METHODS  Naturalistic Observation- observes the individual/animal in their natural setting (unaware) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r3np1TeltSU  What is a PRO about this method?

25. METHODS  Case Study- intensive study on one or more individuals  These can NOT be generalized!!!

26. METHODS  Surveys- many individuals asked a set of questions

27. METHODS  Longitudinal Study- Same group of individuals studied at set intervals for a long range of time.  Focus on change in characteristics  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nM-yKeJg- So

28. METHODS  Cross-Sectional Studies- data is collected from groups of different ages then compared  What might this type of study help psychologists figure out?

29. EXPERIMENTS  How would this differ from the previous research methods?

30. EXPERIMENTS  CONTROL the situation  Variable-factor which is capable of change  INDEPENDENT VS. DEPENDENT The experimenter can change or alter Experimental group is exposed to this variable Changes in relation to the independent variable (if there is an affect)

31. PSYCHOLOGISTS!
