Applied psychology slide
Applied psychology involves using psychological principles and research to solve real-world problems in various fields. It focuses on implementing practical solutions rather than abstract theories. Some key areas of applied psychology include clinical, counseling, industrial/organizational, educational, forensic, health, and sports psychology. Applied psychologists work in various settings like healthcare, education, the workplace, and the legal system to address issues using techniques like cognitive behavioral therapy. The goal is to improve mental health, performance, safety, and overall well-being.
Psychology unit 1st
1. The document provides an introduction to the topic of psychology, outlining its history and development as a field of scientific study.
2. Psychology was formally established as a science in 1879 by Wilhelm Wundt, who opened the first experimental laboratory in Germany. However, the roots of psychology can be traced back to early Greek philosophers like Plato and Aristotle who studied the mind and human behavior.
3. Over time, psychology evolved to become the scientific study of the mind, behavior, and mental processes. It is now a broad field that is divided into both pure and applied subfields which use scientific methods to better understand human thought and conduct.
Body Mind Relationship- The Integrated Response in Psychology
Body Mind Relationship- The Integrated Response in PsychologySherwood College of Nursing, Barabanki, Uttar Pradesh
The document discusses the relationship between the body and mind. It states that the body and mind cannot act independently, as they influence each other in an integrated response. A healthy mind exists in a healthy body and vice versa. The body is composed of organs and organ systems that have specific functions, while the mind refers to mental processes like thinking and reasoning, rather than the brain itself. The mind functions at different levels including conscious and unconscious levels. Both the mind and body can act upon each other - negative emotions produced by the mind can cause illness, while malfunctions of the body can affect mental functioning.Body mind relationship by s.lakshmanan psychologist
Body and mind are inseparable and influence each other. The health of the body depends on the health of the mind and vice versa. Any abnormalities in the physical body can impact mental functioning, and mental states can also affect the physical body. Maintaining a healthy body and active mind can help avoid illness, while mental health problems can exacerbate physical ailments. The modulation process between body and mind plays a decisive role in health and illness.
Unit 2 biology of behaviour
This PPT contains Unit 2 Biology of behaviour for F.Y.B.Sc. Nursing students. The biology of behavior, also known as behavioral neuroscience or psychobiology, explores the relationship between biological processes and behavior. It delves into how the brain, nervous system, and other physiological factors influence behavior, emotions, thoughts, and actions. Understanding this relationship helps us comprehend various aspects of human and animal behavior.
Biology of behavior
The document discusses several key topics related to the biology of behavior:
1. It describes the relationship between the body and mind and how mental and physical states influence each other. It also discusses the role of genetics and the environment in influencing behavior.
2. It provides an overview of the nervous system, including neurons, synapses, and different parts of the brain like the cerebrum and diencephalon and how they relate to behavior.
3. It discusses factors like sensations, muscles, glands, and neurotransmitters and how they help control and regulate behavior.
Importance of Psychology in Nursing
Psychology is important for nursing as it allows nurses to understand patients and how their behaviors and mental states can be impacted by social situations. Understanding psychology helps nurses provide better care by comprehending each patient's unique attitudes, needs, and responses to treatment. It is critical for healthcare professionals to identify a patient's psychology as well as their disease in order to provide successful treatment and develop an environment that supports physical and mental healing. Knowing a patient's psychology aids nurses in communicating effectively, anticipating reactions, and determining the appropriate therapy based on each individual's lifestyle and circumstances.
Definition and scope of psychology
Psychology is the scientific study of mental processes and behavior. It uses various methods including introspection, observation, experimentation, surveys, interviews, clinical studies, and case studies. Some key branches are clinical, developmental, social, and cognitive psychology. Psychology provides frameworks and theories and also applies principles in areas like education, health, and industry. It aims to understand individuals and their behaviors in different environments and contexts.

It studies how human behavior relates to these environments.
Unit 2 (biological basis of human behavior)
This document provides an overview of the biological basis of human psychology. It discusses the main components involved in human behavior including receptors, effectors, and the nervous system. Receptors receive internal and external stimuli. Effectors are the organs of response, including muscles and glands. The nervous system acts as the connecting mechanism, integrating information from receptors and coordinating responses through effectors. Key parts of the central nervous system like the forebrain, hypothalamus, and limbic system are also outlined. The document emphasizes the interaction between biological and environmental factors in influencing human behavior.

Frustration is an unpleasant emotional state where failures tend to outnumber successes and basic needs are left unsatisfied. The document also outlines different types and sources of frustration and common reactions people have when experiencing frustration.
Intelligence
This document discusses different theories and classifications of intelligence. It defines intelligence as the general mental capacity to reason, think abstractly, and adapt to new situations. Intelligence is classified as concrete, social, and abstract. Gardner's theory proposed multiple intelligences including linguistic, logical-mathematical, spatial, bodily-kinesthetic, interpersonal, intrapersonal, naturalist, musical and more. Intelligence quotient (IQ) measures intelligence as a ratio of mental to chronological age. Theories of intelligence include Spearman's two-factor theory of general and specific intelligence, Thurstone's multiple factor theory, and information processing theories. Understanding intelligence helps nurses tailor care and explanations to patients' cognitive abilities.

Chapter 1 introduction to psychology
Psychology is the scientific study of human and animal behavior and mental processes. It began splitting away from philosophy over 100 years ago as an independent area of scientific study. Wilhelm Wundt is considered the first psychologist and the "father of psychology" for his establishment of the first laboratory for experimental psychology. Psychology employs scientific methods like observation, experimentation, and survey to study topics like cognition, emotion, development, abnormal behavior, and social behavior across the lifespan from childhood to old age. The goal of psychology is to better understand and explain human behavior.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
