Contemporary Perspectives in Psychology
Biological
Psychodynamic
Humanistic
Cognitive
Learning
Sociocultural
25
Biological
  • Relate behavior to events taking place inside the
    body, particularly within the brain and central
    nervous system
  • A psychologist would be interested in changes
    that take place in the nervous system as the
    result of learning a new task
  • Electrical stimulation of certain areas of the
    human brain will produce sensations of pleasure
    pain and even vivid memories of past events
  • A chemical substance that promotes development of
    body structures and regulates various body
    functions
  • Genes - the basic building blocks of heredity

26
Cognitive
  • The mental processes of perception, memory, and
    information processing by which the individual
    acquires knowledge, solves problems, plans for
    the future
  • The mind actively processes information it
    receives and transforms it
  • Incoming information is processed in various
    ways it is selected, compared, and combined with
    other information already in memory, transformed,
    rearranged, and so on
  • Investigation centers on the way in which we
    perceive and mentally represent the world
  • The mind

27
Humanistic
  • Free will vs. determinism
  • Psychologists would be interested in a persons
    self-concept, feelings of self-esteem and
    self-awareness
  • The pursuit of self-actualization
  • A psychologist considers the persons experience,
    as perceived by that person, to be the most
    important event in psychology
  • Development of the self to the fullest potential

28
Learning
  • A psychologist studies individuals by looking at
    their behavior rather than at their internal
    workings
  • John B. Watson argued that only you can
    introspect about your perceptions and feelings,
    but others can observe your behavior
  • Stimulus ?Response (S ?R) Psychologists maintain
    that a science of psychology can be based
    strictly on what goes in and what comes out
    (input ?output)
  • Learn by rewards and punishments (reinforcement)
  • Learn by observation

29
Psychodynamic
Behavior stems from processes that are unconscious
Focus of todays neoanalysts concentrates on
deliberate choice
30
Sociocultural
  • Ethnicity
  • Gender
  • Culture
  • Socioeconomic status
