Psychology
The scientific study of behavior and
mental processes
Wilhelm Wundt
Father of Psychology
Made first psychology lab
Structuralism
Wilhelm Wundt
Edward Titchener
Break down mental processes into
basic parts
Introspection- basic elements of
consciousness
Considered too subjective- lack of
reliability
Internal- cannot be accurately
measured
Functionalism
William James
What is the purpose of the behavior? How does the mental and
behavioral process function? How do they adapt to allow
survival?
Looked at Charles Darwin
Natural selection- inherit traits that contribute to reproduction
and survival- passed to future generations
Nature/Nurture- contributions that genes and experiences have
on development of a person’s psychological traits and
behaviors
Psychoanalytic Psychology
Sigmund Freud
Unconscious- information of
which we are unaware
Free association- exploring
unconscious in which a
person relaxes and says
whatever comes to mind
Our personality comes from
our efforts to resolve basic
conflicts between impulses
and restraint
Id
Unconscious
Wants to satisfy basic drives and needs to survive,
reproduce
Operates on pleasure principle
Needs immediate and instant gratification
Newborn crying, person with an addiction
Ego
Young child responds to real world
Reality Principle
Want to gratify id’s impulses in realistic ways that will
bring long term pleasure
Superego
Moral compass
Conscience
Forces ego to consider the real and ideal
Focuses on how we should behave
Wants perfection- can show pride, guilt
Freud felt children go through psychosexual stages
Early childhood relations (especially with parents)
influence our developing identity and personality
Oral: 0-18 months, mouth
Anal: 18-36 months, bowel/bladder control
Phallic: 3-6 years, focus on genitals
Latency: 6-Puberty, dormant sexual feelings
Genital: Puberty on, sexual interests
Oedipus Complex- Freud felt boys have sexual desires
for mother- feels jealousy towards father
Electra- Girls version
Gender Identity- sense of being male, female
Conflicts unresolved during an earlier stage could
surface as some type of behavior- there could be a
conflict and then you fixate
Overindulged/deprived- you might fixate on oral
stage, etc (excessive eating, smoking)
Defense mechanism- tactic to reduce anxiety
Repression- banish feelings that cause anxiety
Unconscious slips through at times “Freudian Slip”
Alfred Adler
Childhood social not sexual tensions are crucial for
personality formation
Our behavior is driven by efforts to conquer
childhood inferiority feelings that trigger our striving
for superiority and power
Karen Horneye
Childhood anxiety- desire for love and security
Tried to counter Freud’s view that women have
“penis envy”
Carl Jung
Collective unconscious- shared, inherited memory,
can be spiritual
Behaviorism
How organisms learn to
modify their behavior
based on their
responses to events in
the environment
Ivan Pavlov
Used Classical Conditioning
How organisms respond to stimuli in
their environment
Put food in dog’s mouth- caused
animal to salivate
Dog started to salivate at sight of
food, food dish, person with the food,
footsteps
Anticipation of food had dog salivating
Connected tone/buzzer prior to
presentation of food- tone started to
cause dog to salivate
Natural reflex to salivate when food is put in the mouth
Unconditioned Response- Drooling (UR)
Unconditioned Stimulus- Food (US)
Conditioned Response- Salivate to tone (CR)
Neutral Stimulus- Tone (originally) (NS)
Conditioned Stimulus- Tone eventually (CS)
Conditioned- learned
Unconditioned- unlearned
Generalization- response similar to stimuli similar to CS
John Watson
Human emotions and behaviors are a bunch of
conditioned responses
Fears can be conditioned
“Little Albert” feared loud noises, but not white rats
Presented white rate and when Albert reached out
they struck a hammer against a steel bar behind
Albert’s head- made a painful loud noise
After 7 repeats, Albert would cry when he saw the rat
Generalized fear to sight of a rabbit, dog
Operant Conditioning
Behavior is strengthened if followed by a reinforcer
or diminished if followed by a punisher
Person connects own actions with consequences
B.F. Skinner
Law of Effect- rewarded behavior is likely to recur
(Edward Thorndike developed this concept)
Punished behavior is less likely to recur
Skinner box- operant chamber- animal can manipulate
a bar or key to get water or food
Reinforcement- any event that strengthens a
response- praise, attention, paycheck
Shaping- gradually guiding the actions toward desired
behavior
Positive Reinforcement- strengthens response by
presenting a typically pleasurable stimulus after a
response
Negative Reinforcement- strengthens response by
reducing or removing something negative- this is NOT
punishment- it removes a punishing event it provides
relief
Observational
Albert Bandura
Tied between Behaviorism
and Cognitive Theories
Agreed with Classical and
Operant Conditioning
Added that our behavior is
also learned from our
environment- through
observation
Modeling
Parents, characters on TV, friends, teachers
Behavior to imitate- masculine, feminine
More likely to imitate behavior modeled by person of the
same sex
If child imitates behavior and if it is rewarded, most likely
child will repeat behavior
If child observes another person doing the behavior and
they are rewarded, they will also imitate the behavior
(vicarious reinforcement)
Bobo Doll Experiment
Preschool child drawing
Adult in the room builds with Tinker toys
Child watches
Adult gets up and for ten minutes- pounds, kicks,
throws an inflated “Bobo” doll- yelling at same time
Child is taken to another room- many nice toys, but
the child is told those toys are for other kids
Child is taken to yet another room, with an inflated
Bobo doll and a few other toys
Child acts aggressively towards the Bobo doll
Developmental Psychology
Studies physical, cognitive, and social
change through life span
Cognitive
Jean Piaget:
Child’s mind is not a miniature model of an adult
Children reason differently than adults
Child’s mind develops through a series of stages (4)
Schema- concept that organizes information (“cats”)
Assimilation- interpret new experiences in terms of
existing schemas
Accommodate- adapt our current understanding to add
new info
Stage 1: Sensorimotor
Birth to 2
Senses and actions- looking, hearing, touching,
mouthing
Young babies- live in the present- out of sight, out of
mind
Before 6 months old- lack object permanence (unaware
that an object continues to exist even when not seen)
8 months- memory for things no longer seen
Stage 2: Preoperational
Up until about 6 or 7
Words and images- but cannot mentally reverse an
action
Egocentric- cannot perceive things from another’s point
of view
Curse of knowledge- assume that what is in your head is
also in someone else’s head
Stage 3: Concrete Operational
About age 7-11
Change in form does not mean change in quantity
Pour water into tall glass, or short wide glass
Thinks logically
Stage 4: Formal Operational
12-adulthood
Abstract thinking
If this, then that
Hypotheticals, reasoning
Humanism
Why people strive for self determination and self
realization
Abraham Maslow and Carl Rogers
Abraham Maslow
Self actualization
Hierarchy of Needs
We keep trying to eventually get to fulfilling our
potential, purpose
Felt people who are healthy and creative are self
aware, self accepting, open spontaneous, loving,
caring, secure in who they are, have a few deep
relationships, and not many superficial ones- and have
usually had a spiritual or personal peak experience
Carl Rogers
Person Centered
People are basically good
Self Concept- all of the thoughts and feelings we have
in response to “Who Am I” if positive, we act and see
world positively, if negative, we feel dissatisfied
Growth requires 3 conditions
Genuineness- they are open with their own feelings,
drop facades
Acceptance- unconditional positive regard, attitude of
grace, drop pretenses, confess our worst feelings
Empathy- share and mirror other’s feelings and reflect
their meanings
Sociocultural Psychology
Lev Vygotsky
Child’s mind grows through interaction with social
environment
Language provides the building blocks for thinking
Interaction between people and culture help develop
child’s mind
Development in a Western culture might be different
than in an Eastern culture
Beliefs, values, norms- culture teaches us behavior
Biological Psychology
Psychobiologists: Study how physical and chemical
changes in our bodies influence our behavior
Gestalt Psychology
Max Wertheimer, Kurt Koffka,
Wolfgang Kohler
How we see “whole
patterns”
Gestalt- German word for
“form” or “whole”
Individual elements of what
we look at all go together
Our minds fill in missing
information- whole is greater
than sum of parts
