front 22

Arguably the most influential psychologist to date. His work on operant conditioning revolutionized the behavioral movement.

Behaviorists

Behaviorists

front 25

Believe that humans are free, rational beings with the potential for personal growth - fundamentally different from animals and study the unique aspects of human experience. This school of psychology takes the most positive view of human nature. People's behavior is governed by their self-concepts. The key is to feel better about the self and recognize one’s own inherent potential.

back 25

Humanists

front 26

Perspective involves the study of thoughts and mental processes and believe that human behavior cannot be fully understood without examining internal mental events or how people acquire, process, and store information. This field is a recent movement in psychology that has revived the old interest in mental and conscious events. The ways people think about events surely influences how they behave. Consequently focusing exclusively on overt behavior yields an incomplete picture of why individuals behave as they do.

back 26

Cognitive theorists

front 27

Believe that an organism’s functioning can be explained in terms of the bodily structures and biochemical process that underlie behavior. Focuses on the interrelations among the mind, body, and behavior.

back 27

Biology perspective

front 28

Believe that behavior patterns have evolved to solve adaptive problems, and that natural selection favors behaviors that enhance reproductive success. This approach examines behavioral processes in terms of their adaptive value for a species over the course of many generations. Thus, for example, if a species is highly aggressive, because that aggression conveys a survival or reproductive advantage, those genes that promote aggressiveness are more likely to be passed on to the next generation.
