Psychology is the science of mental processes and behavior. It analyzes human behavior at multiple levels including the person, group, and brain. The field has evolved over time from early structuralism and functionalism to modern approaches like psychodynamic theory, behaviorism, humanistic psychology, cognitive psychology, and evolutionary psychology. Each new approach sought to better understand the mind through methods like introspection, observation, experimentation, and the study of biological and evolutionary factors.

History of psychology
This presentation will help you understand the history of psychology, the roots of psychology before it became a separate discipline.
Structuralism School of Psychology
1. Structuralism was a theory developed by Wilhelm Wundt and Edward Titchener that attempted to analyze the structure of the mind by breaking down consciousness into its fundamental elements using introspection.
2. Titchener believed consciousness could be broken down into sensations, images, and affections, which had properties like quality, intensity, duration, etc.
3. Structuralism was the first school of psychology but eventually lost favor because introspection was difficult to validate scientifically and could not be measured objectively like other mental processes.
Structuralism
Structuralism was established in 1879 at Leipzig by Wilhelm Wundt and focused on analyzing conscious experiences into their basic elements using introspection. Wundt believed mental states could be studied scientifically by asking trained subjects to report their experiences in response to stimuli. He focused on thoughts, images, and feelings. However, critics argue introspection is subjective. The biological perspective relates behavior to the nervous and endocrine systems and how genes, chromosomes, hormones, and the brain influence behavior through natural selection. For example, generally males exhibit more aggression than females, and biological psychologists have sought biological explanations for mental illnesses like explaining schizophrenia in terms of dopamine levels. However, Freud argued this just treats symptoms not underlying causes.

History of psychology
Psychology emerged as a formal area of study in the 1870s through the work of Wilhelm Wundt, who opened the first experimental laboratory. Wundt established introspection and the scientific method as hallmarks of psychology. Early schools of thought included structuralism and functionalism. Functionalism, championed by William James, focused on consciousness's adaptive functions. Behaviourism emerged with John Watson and B.F. Skinner, emphasizing observable behaviour over internal mental processes. Later developments included cognitivism's focus on mental processes and biological psychology's emphasis on the brain. Evolutionary psychology examines behaviour through an adaptive lens.

The document discusses the historical influences of psychology from ancient Greek philosophy to modern research and clinical practice. It describes how early philosophers like Plato, Aristotle, Locke, and Descartes influenced the development of epistemology and the debate around empiricism versus rationalism. Major figures that advanced the field include Darwin, Wundt, Freud, and James. Experimental methods were established for mapping the brain and measuring sensory experiences. The discovery of neurotransmitters led to new understandings in psychopharmacology. The DSM standardizes diagnosis and treatment.
History of Psychology: Historical roots 1
Wilhelm Wundt established the first psychology laboratory in 1879 at the University of Leipzig, marking the beginning of psychology as a distinct science. Wundt's structuralism approach used introspection to analyze the basic elements of consciousness. This method proved unreliable and paved the way for behaviorism which rejected the study of the mind. William James expanded the field with his 1890 book Principles of Psychology which took a functionalist approach, examining a wide range of psychological processes. Sigmund Freud developed psychoanalysis in the late 19th century, introducing concepts like the conscious and unconscious mind and using techniques like dream analysis and free association. Carl Jung further developed psychoanalytic theory with concepts like the collective unconscious and archetypes.
History of Psychology
Psychology is the science of behavior and mental processes. Behavior can be overt and directly observed, or covert and not directly observed. Mental processes include internal experiences like sensations, thoughts, and feelings. Throughout history, various theories have emerged about the nature of the mind and how to study it. Early Greek philosophers proposed ideas about the seat of mental processes. Modern psychology aims to describe, explain, predict, and control behavior through scientific theories and methods. Major perspectives that developed include structuralism, functionalism, psychoanalysis, behaviorism, and humanistic psychology.

Wilhelm Wundt established the first psychology laboratory in 1879 at the University of Leipzig, formally defining psychology as the study of conscious experiences. He developed structuralism, which focused on the fundamental elements of thinking, consciousness, and emotions. Sigmund Freud specialized in nervous disorders and developed psychoanalysis to study the unconscious mind and how unconscious conflicts influence behavior. Alfred Adler broke from Freud to focus on individual psychology and how people differ in their behaviors. John Watson rejected early approaches and established behaviorism, defining psychology as the objective scientific study of observable behaviors.

Psychology is the science that deals with mental processes and behavior. It emerged as an independent field in 1879 with Wilhelm Wundt establishing the first experimental psychology lab. Major schools of thought in psychology include structuralism, functionalism, psychoanalysis, behaviorism, humanism, and cognitivism. Psychology encompasses many subfields like biological, clinical, cognitive, developmental, and social psychology that study different aspects of mental processes and behavior.
William james
William James (1842-1910) was an American philosopher and psychologist who was among the most influential thinkers of the 19th century. As a professor at Harvard University, he was a leading thinker in psychology and later philosophy. Some of his major works included The Principles of Psychology (1890), which disputed Wilhelm Wundt's structuralism, and introduced the James-Lange theory of emotion. He also developed the philosophical concept of pragmatism, which assessed ideas based on their practical consequences rather than theoretical claims. James made significant contributions to psychology, philosophy of religion, metaphysics and other areas through his writings and teachings.

This document contains a survey asking respondents to rate statements about various social issues on a scale and answer yes/no questions about actions they take. It then provides information on cognitive dissonance theory, including Leon Festinger's proposal that people experience psychological discomfort from inconsistencies between attitudes, beliefs and behaviors, and seek to reduce this tension. It describes Festinger's 1959 experiment inducing cognitive dissonance in students and an effort justification study where subjects rated a discussion more positively based on their prior effort to participate.
Attitude - A Seminar Presentation
This document provides an overview of attitudes, including their definition, formation, structure, and relationship to behavior. It discusses several key theories related to attitudes:
- Learning theories (classical conditioning, observational learning) describe how attitudes are formed through experience.
- Consistency theories like balance theory and cognitive dissonance propose people seek to maintain consistency between their attitudes and behaviors.
- Factors like attitude strength (extremity, certainty) and situational constraints moderate the link between attitudes and behaviors.
- The theory of planned behavior and cognitive response model examine additional influences on attitude-behavior relationships and persuasion.

Study: The Future of VR, AR and Self-Driving Cars
We asked LinkedIn members worldwide about their levels of interest in the latest wave of technology: whether they’re using wearables, and whether they intend to buy self-driving cars and VR headsets as they become available. We asked them too about their attitudes to technology and to the growing role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the devices that they use. The answers were fascinating – and in many cases, surprising.
This SlideShare explores the full results of this study, including detailed market-by-market breakdowns of intention levels for each technology – and how attitudes change with age, location and seniority level. If you’re marketing a tech brand – or planning to use VR and wearables to reach a professional audience – then these are insights you won’t want to miss.

A history of psychology section 3
The document traces the history of psychology from ancient Greece to modern times. It discusses how early Greek philosophers like Plato and Aristotle began exploring topics like motivation and the mind. The ancient Greeks believed psychological problems were caused by supernatural forces, while Hippocrates suggested biological factors could influence thoughts and feelings. During the Middle Ages, psychological problems were seen as signs of demonic possession. Psychology emerged as a modern science in the late 19th century with the establishment of experimental laboratories by psychologists like Wilhelm Wundt and William James. Schools of thought like structuralism, functionalism, behaviorism, and psychoanalysis helped shape the new field.

This document provides an overview of the history and major approaches of psychology. It discusses key figures from the 19th century who influenced the early development of psychology as a field, including Wundt who opened the first psychology lab. The major historical approaches are explained such as structuralism, functionalism, Gestalt psychology, psychoanalysis, and behaviorism. Finally, the major contemporary approaches - biological, behavioral, psychodynamic, humanistic, cognitive, sociocultural, and evolutionary - are defined in one to two sentences each.
Part 1 the science of psychology
Psychology is defined as the scientific study of behavior and mental processes. Some key points about the history and methods of psychology include:
- Wilhelm Wundt is considered the founder of experimental psychology for establishing the first psychology laboratory in 1879.
- Structuralism and functionalism were two early schools that focused on discovering the structure of the mind and understanding thinking, motivation, and learning respectively.
- Methods of psychology include introspection, observation, experiments, surveys, and statistical analysis to understand, predict, and control behavior.
- There are many branches and applications of psychology such as developmental, abnormal, clinical, educational, and industrial psychology.
Structuralism,
Wilhelm Wundt founded the first psychology laboratory in 1879 and established structuralism as the first major school of thought in psychology. Structuralism aimed to analyze consciousness into its fundamental elements of sensations, perceptions, ideas, emotions, and analyze how these elements interacted and combined. A key aspect was the use of introspection to examine one's conscious experiences. Later, Titchener expanded on structuralism in the US but it fell out of favor due to subjective methods like introspection lacking reliability and observability.
lec_2_school_of_thoughts_edited[1].ppt
The document summarizes five historical schools of thought in psychology:
1) Structuralism, founded by Wundt, focused on conscious experience and breaking it down into components using introspection. It was criticized for being too subjective.
2) Functionalism, founded by William James, examined the functions of consciousness and behavior and how they allow adaptation. It influenced applied psychology.
3) Behaviorism, founded by Watson, emphasized observable and measurable behavior over internal mental processes. It influenced education.
4) Psychoanalysis, founded by Freud, focused on the unconscious and treating psychological disorders by interpreting unconscious conflicts.
5) Gestalt psychology viewed perception, learning, and personality as integrated wholes rather than collections of
Background of psychology
Psychology is the scientific study of behavior and mental processes. Its goals are to describe, predict, understand, and control behavior. It has many subfields including clinical, cognitive, developmental, and social psychology. Important figures in its history include Wilhelm Wundt, who founded the first psychology lab, and William James, who brought experimental psychology to the US. Sigmund Freud developed psychoanalysis and Ivan Pavlov studied classical conditioning.

Psychology prroject
Psychology is the scientific study of behavior and mental processes. It uses empirical methods like experiments and quantitative analysis to study how organisms' physical states, mental states, and external environments influence their behavior and thinking. Wilhelm Wundt is considered the founder of modern psychology because he established the first experimental laboratory in 1879 where he used controlled experiments and quantitative methods to study psychological structures and elements of the mind, treating it as an experimental science. This separated psychology from philosophy and established it as a distinct field of science.
Structuralism and Functionalism
Structuralism was the first school of psychology and focused on breaking down mental processes into the most basic components. Researchers tried to understand the basic elements of consciousness using a method known as introspection. Wilhelm Wundt, founder of the first psychology lab, is often associated with this school of thought despite the fact that it was his student Edward B. Titchener who first coined the term to describe this school of thought.
Functionalism formed as a reaction to the structuralism and was heavily influenced by the work of William James and the evolutionary theory of Charles Darwin. Functionalists sought to explain the mental processes in a more systematic and accurate manner. Rather than focusing on the elements of consciousness, functionalists focused on the purpose of consciousness and behavior. Functionalism also emphasized individual differences, which had a profound impact on education.
