Psychology

When you first think of the word psychology, what is the first thing that comes to your mind? Well, some people might say they don’t know or some would say it’s something that has to do with the mind and/or human behavior. Psychology which comes from the Greek term “psyche” is the study of mental processes and behavior; especially those affecting behavior in a given context. There are several schools of thought in psychology. These schools include: structuralism (Wundt), functionalism (James), gestalt (Wertheimer, Perls), psychoanalytic (Freud), behaviorism (Skinner), humanistic psychology (Maslow, Rogers), cognitive (Bandura), biological (many), and eclectic which is the combination of schools. Psychologists today apply these different schools when dealing with their subjects, depending on the issue at hand.

put your opinion in e.g. I believe this perspective can help an individual who has a fear or phobia by seeing why the individual is so scared.

They are different way to try to understand other people, looking at signs like facial expressions, attitudes and emotions for example. Facial expressions of emotions are when one part of the face registers one emotion and the other a different emotion.

The principles and theories of Social Psychology are important and useful in assessing behaviors in situations. These social psychological principles and their applications can be seen in fictional films which can also be attributed to everyday life. One such film that holds certain social psychological perspectives is Will Gluck’s 2010 production of Easy A. A film about high school student Olive Penderghast and how a sudden change in popularity and financial status, after an unintentional rumor about how she supposedly lost her virginity to a college guy spread through the entire her school. The film draws on the behavioral connections of pronounced hussy Olive Penderghast and her English class’s assigned reading of The Scarlet Letter.

If babies’ bodies grew at the same rapid pace as their brains, they would weigh 170 pounds by one month of age. Once the baby is born learning starts immediately. Humans learn so many different life skills between birth to eight years old, for instance their name, counting, reading, writing, sitting, walking, running, talking, using the bathroom, the alphabet and different colors and shapes. Adults do almost all these abilities without even noticing their doing them. It may not seem very hard to learn the normal abilities but if the abilities weren't taught at a young age when the brain absorbs everything it sees and learns people wouldn't be able to function. Children's brains develop and absorb more material from birth to eight years old

In Psychology There are six modern psychological perspectives. These perspectives are behavioral, psychodynamic, humanistic, cognitive, social, cultural, and biological. Each perspective has its own unique way of explaining human behavior. I think that really explains the complex mental processes and behavior, and each prospective study should not be limited to just one. The following is my explanation of the terms and comparisons between the psychodynamic and behavioral aspects relating to the October 2000 article in the American Psychologist., Hunger, eating, and I11 Health, by John PJ Pinel, Sunaina Assanand and Darrin R. Lehman.

Hermann Ebbinghaus said, “Psychology has a long past, yet its real history is short” (Goodwin, 2008, p. 28). He was referring to the belief that while the study of human thought, emotion, and behavior is firmly entrenched in philosophy, psychology as its own discipline has only been around a short time. During this short time, different branches of psychology have come out, one of them is cognitive psychology, which is only roughly 50 years old. Cognitive psychology expands upon other fields of psychology to further reveal why human beings act in the way they do. This paper will define cognitive psychology, explore key milestones in its

Firstly, it is important to know what is meant by the term “science”, and then to establish whether psychology adheres to this. The Oxford English Dictionary defines science as “the study or knowledge of the physical world, based on observation and experiment”. This immediately raises issues about this debate as many areas of psychological research do not involve the observable. For example, the areas of Clinical and Counselling psychology rely on a patient’s thoughts and feelings to help determine whether they suffer from a mental disorder. Owing to an advancement in technology, however, phenomena that was once labelled as unobservable can now be observed. One example of this includes emotions, including happiness, sadness, disgust, fear,
