The document discusses three major debates in psychology: nature vs nurture, reductionism vs holism, and free will vs determinism. For nature vs nurture, it examines the extent to which behavior is influenced by internal biological factors or the external environment. Reductionism vs holism addresses whether behavior is best explained by single or multiple causes. And free will vs determinism considers the level of individual control over behavior versus external predictability. Examples are provided for each debate.

Philosophy and its educational implication:Experience
The document summarizes the two major philosophical strands that fall under the category of experience in Western thought as it relates to education: empiricism and romanticism. Empiricism views the learner as a passive recipient of organized experiences, leading to a technical curriculum focused on arranging stimuli. Romanticism believes formal education is unnecessary and children should learn naturally through experiences and influences. Both strands emphasize the importance of experience in learning but differ on the role of the teacher and formal curriculum.
History and Background Of Psychology - Basic Introduction
Wilhelm Wundt is considered the founder of modern psychology. In 1879, he opened the first laboratory dedicated to psychological research at the University of Leipzig in Germany, marking the start of psychology as a scientific field. Wundt is often referred to as the "father of psychology". Some other important figures in early psychology include William James, who established a similar lab at Harvard in 1879, and Sigmund Freud, who developed psychoanalysis.

Standardized tests are assessments that are administered and scored in a consistent, predetermined manner. They ensure that all test-takers receive the same questions, information, time allotment, and scoring procedures. In practice, standardized tests often use multiple choice and short answer questions due to constraints of large-scale administration and scoring. While expedient, this limits the depth of understanding tests can measure. Standardized tests should not be the sole measure of a student's knowledge and performance.

Educational psychology - introduction
Educational psychology is the scientific study of human behavior and learning processes in educational settings. It involves understanding how people learn and develop from childhood through adulthood, the learning process, learning environments, teaching methods, and how to evaluate learning outcomes. The main goals of educational psychology are to help learners acquire knowledge and skills, understand learners' characteristics and needs, create effective learning situations, and evaluate learning performance to improve teaching methods.
Intro To Psychology Chap 1
The document provides an overview of the field of psychology, including its history and key figures. It discusses psychology as the scientific study of human and animal behavior and thought. It outlines different types of psychology research and fields psychologists work in, such as clinical, educational, child, and environmental psychology. The document also summarizes some of the founders and early theories in psychology, including the work of Wundt, James, Freud, Galton, Pavlov, and Skinner. It concludes with discussing different approaches in psychology like neurobiological, behavioral, psychoanalytic, cognitive, and sociocultural.
Personality assessment
Personality assessments can help counselors understand individual behavior, determine appropriate courses of action, and predict future behavior. Personality includes traits, states, and types. Traits are consistent dimensions of individual differences while states are temporary tendencies. Types describe a person generally, such as introverted or extroverted. Structured personality inventories like the MMPI-2 and MCMI-III use standardized questions while projective tests like the Rorschach and TAT use ambiguous stimuli to project unconscious feelings. Personality assessments provide insight into clients but rely on the interpreter's judgment.
Aptitude test
The document summarizes information about aptitude tests, including their meaning, history, differences from intelligence tests, types, importance, usage, future scope, test blueprints, data analysis, and conclusions. Aptitude tests attempt to measure a person's ability to acquire specific skills through future training and assume people differ in their special abilities. They were first developed during World War I and began being used widely for college admissions starting in the 1920s.
General Psychology - SHS (General Concepts)
Psychology is the study of the mind and behavior. It began as a branch of philosophy and has developed into a science using scientific methods like experimentation and observation. Some key figures in the development of psychology include Wilhelm Wundt, who founded the first psychology lab, and William James, who helped establish psychology as a science in the United States. Modern psychology includes many branches that study different aspects of behavior and the mind, such as developmental psychology, social psychology, and cognitive psychology. Researchers use various methods like introspection, observation, and biographical studies to better understand human thought and actions.
Individual vs group test
This document compares individual and group tests. Individual tests like the Stanford-Binet and WISC can be administered to one person at a time and measure abilities like verbal reasoning. Group tests like the Otis-Lennon and Test of Cognitive Skills are administered to multiple people at once and provide verbal, non-verbal and total scores. Individual tests are more expensive while group tests are more practical and cheaper to administer. Both types of tests measure abilities, but individual tests allow for closer examination of examinee behaviors.
Unit 8 problems & issues in higher education
This document discusses problems and issues in higher education in Pakistan. It identifies several key issues, including a lack of resources, overcrowded classrooms, poor quality of faculty and curriculum, and weak research opportunities. It recommends increasing education funding, improving teacher training programs, strengthening accountability, revising curricula regularly based on stakeholder feedback, expediting the implementation of education policies, and promoting a research culture in institutions of higher education. Addressing these issues is important for developing a high quality higher education system that can help Pakistan progress.
What Subjects or Career Stream To Choose In Class 11
It is essential that the students take a logical and scientific approach towards career stream selection, after their high school. Most students have to suffer from under performance or loss of interest, only & only because they get into a stream that they are unfit for.
Their is no compatibility and they gradually loose all their momentum and strength. They start going just through the motions and loose real vision, purpose and passion in their studies.
To help such students to prevent themselves from such catastrophe, we must prevent them from taking baseless decisions. They should get aware of the fact that they can and should adopt logical, scientific, proven successful approach towards a career life that allows them to become much much more; and go beyond the horizons.
Science of educational psychology
Educational psychology involves the study of how people learn throughout their lifespan, including topics like learning outcomes, instructional processes, individual differences, gifted learners, and learning disabilities. Some goals of educational psychology are to take a scientific approach to studying teaching and learning, ensure social and ethical equity in education, and understand the diverse needs of all students. Research methods in educational psychology include interviews, questionnaires, correlational research, and experiments. Effective teaching requires subject knowledge, teaching skills, commitment, and ongoing professional growth.
Standard progressive matrices
This document discusses the construction and verification of norms for Raven's Progressive Matrices Test using a sample of students in La Plata, Argentina. It finds an increase in scores over time, known as the Flynn Effect, when compared to previous norms from 1964. It also finds differences in mean scores between age groups, education types, and for students in a Fine Arts program. The goals were to update the norms for the test using local data and compare results to previous norms and between demographic groups.
Theories of stress
The document discusses different models of stress. It describes the stimulus-based model which views stress as external stimuli or life events that tax a person's coping abilities. It also covers the response-based model proposed by Hans Selye which sees stress as the non-specific physiological response to demands placed on the body. Finally, it outlines the transactional model proposed by Lazarus which views stress as resulting from the interaction between personal and environmental factors, and emphasizes the role of cognitive appraisal in determining whether an event is perceived as stressful.
Education, Ideologies and Identities in Pakistan
Ideologies are sets of beliefs that influence group behavior and shape understanding of the world. They emerge from social classes and are influenced by time, crisis, and change. Religious and political ideologies like Islam, Christianity, capitalism, socialism, and fascism shape identities. Factors like family, gender, religion, environment, history, and media influence the formation of beliefs and values that constitute one's identity. Ideology and identity are interrelated, as changes in ideology can change one's identity, and identity helps determine one's ideology.
Career counseling powerpoint
Career counseling will be in high demand for the next 5 years as many people look for jobs and career transitions. Effective career counseling involves learning about the client through personality tests to understand them, then putting all the information together to help them. Clients see career counselors for a variety of reasons like work stress, job transitions, or losing their job. To be successful, career counselors must be good listeners, communicators, and analysts to assist their clients.
What is school psychology
School psychology is still a relatively young profession.
The National Association of School Psychology (NASP) was established and formally recognized as a doctoral specialty by the American Psychological Association (APA) in 1968.
In 2002, U.S. News and World Report named school psychology one of the top ten "hot professions.“
Many school psychologists in the field are retiring, creating a demand for qualified school psychologists.
Indian School Psychology Association was established in 2009.
Theories of Motivation
This document discusses various theories of motivation including instinct, drive-reduction, arousal, incentive, and cognitive approaches. It describes Maslow's hierarchy of needs which posits that lower physiological and safety needs must be met before higher needs of belongingness, esteem and self-actualization. Secondary drives like achievement, affiliation and power are also influential factors. Personality traits like locus of control and types A/B also impact motivation. The document provides an overview of major theories and factors that influence human motivation.
The Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS)
The theoretical basis for the WAIS came from Wechsler's belief that intelligence is a complex ability involving a variety of skills.
Ethics w. voice
This document discusses the ethical standards that psychologists must follow when conducting research. It outlines six main standards: informed consent, avoiding deception, protecting participants from harm, allowing participants to withdraw, debriefing participants, and maintaining confidentiality. It also discusses ethical considerations for animal research and questions to consider regarding research ethics. The document concludes with an activity where students review studies and identify which ethical standards were violated in each.
Pscyhology methodology pp
This document outlines the key steps and considerations for designing a psychology research study, including defining the aim, determining the methodology, and establishing reliability and validity. It discusses experimental and non-experimental research designs. For the methodology, it emphasizes choosing appropriate participants and controls, such as treatment and control groups, and blind studies. Reliability depends on replicating findings across experiments, while validity measures how well a study reflects real-world situations.

This document outlines critical thinking skills needed to analyze psychological research studies. It discusses evaluating a study's methodology, connecting findings to major debates in psychology, applying research to society, and relating studies to different levels of analysis. Critical thinking involves assessing strengths and limitations of methods, ethics, reliability, and validity, as well as considering how findings inform nature vs nurture, reductionism vs holism, and free will vs determinism debates. Research must also be evaluated for real-world applications and how it enhances understanding of human behavior.
Defining psychology
Psychology is defined as the scientific study of behavior and mental processes, and how they are affected by both internal factors like genetics and biology as well as environmental influences. It uses the scientific method, relying on evidence rather than theories. Behavior refers to observable actions while mental processes are internal functions like memory, learning, and decision-making. Psychology studies human behavior through three levels of analysis: biological looks at physiological and genetic influences; cognitive examines how we process information; and sociocultural considers how society and culture shape our behaviors as social animals.
Genetics pp
Genes contribute to behaviors but do not determine them. Studies of twins and genes like 5-HTT and COMT show that:
- Genetics influence traits like intelligence (70%) and likelihood of depression, but environment also matters
- The 5-HTT gene predicts if one will become depressed after stressful life events
- COMT impacts stress response and test/task performance depending on allele (fast or slow acting enzyme)
However, one gene does not cause a behavior and ethics around genetic testing and research are important issues.
IA Method Section Guide
This document provides guidance on key elements to include in the Method section of a research study. The Method section should identify the independent and dependent variables and how they are defined and measured. It should describe the experimental design, including treatment and control groups, and justify the design choice. Ethical guidelines and how they were followed should also be documented. The Method section should identify relevant participant characteristics and the sampling method. Finally, it should provide a clear, replicable description of study procedures and list all necessary materials in an appendix.
Introduction to the ia
The document provides information about the Internal Assessment (IA), which requires students to plan, conduct, and report on replicating a simple experimental study. It outlines the key elements students must include in their IA report and establishes ethical guidelines for conducting research involving human participants. Students must choose an independent variable that does not relate to gender, age, language, culture, education level, socioeconomic status or handedness. They will work in groups to explore example studies, choose one to replicate, and submit a Study Summary Sheet. The next class will involve discussing the IA elements and establishing deadlines.
IA Presentation/Format Section
This document outlines the requirements for the presentation section of an IB Internal Assessment. It should include a title page with the title, names, subject and word count. A 200-word abstract summarizing the aim, method, variables, results and conclusions. A table of contents and references section in APA style. Appendices include materials like consent forms and raw data. The presentation is worth 2 marks and must be between 1000-1500 words, excluding certain sections. It provides an example title and contact information for students to view examples or ask questions.
Introduction Overview
This document provides guidance on writing the introduction section of a research paper. It outlines key elements to include such as clearly stating the aim of the study, identifying and summarizing the replicated study by defining terms, aim, method, hypothesis, variables, findings, and conclusion. It also notes that the aim of the replicating study should be stated in 1-2 sentences regarding what is being accomplished and investigated.
Loftus and memory pp
Memory is not always reliable according to research studies. In a 1974 study by Loftus and Palmer, participants saw a video of a car crash and were later asked how fast the cars were going when they "smashed" into each other or "contacted" each other. Those asked about "smashing" estimated higher speeds than those asked about "contacting", showing that wording of questions can manipulate memories. A later 2012 study by Loftus found that over half of participants inaccurately identified their interrogator in a mock prisoner of war scenario after being given misinformation about the interrogator's appearance. These studies demonstrate that memory can be impacted and altered by new information even for stressful or personally relevant events.
Race & decision making
The documents discuss two studies that investigated the role of race in decisions to shoot targets. The first meta-analysis found participants were quicker and more likely to shoot black targets, especially in states with permissive gun laws. The second study found that while participants showed more threat response to black targets, they were ultimately less likely to shoot black targets, indicating a counter-bias against shooting black targets.
Flashbulb memories pp
The document summarizes research on flashbulb memories, which are highly vivid and accurate memories of learning about emotionally arousing events. Several studies examined the accuracy and consistency of flashbulb memories over time. While initial studies found high accuracy, later work found inconsistencies in memory details within a few years. Factors like media engagement and discussions can impact memory confidence even if not accuracy. Overall, flashbulb memories are subject to the reconstructive nature of memory and inconsistencies, though the core experience may be remembered emotionally.
Perception pp
This document discusses perception and how the brain interprets sensory information from the external world. It explains that perception involves both bottom-up processing, where individual sensory inputs are constructed into a whole, as well as top-down processing, where prior knowledge and expectations influence perception. The document also discusses several optical illusions and a study showing cultural differences in susceptibility to the Muller-Lyer illusion, suggesting experiences shape an individual's perceptual tendencies.
Cognition, biology and emotion pp
This document discusses how cognition and biology interact to produce emotions. It presents several theories on this topic. Le Doux's theory proposes two pathways - a short route involving physiological responses and a long route involving cognitive processing. Lazarus' appraisal theory suggests that cognitive evaluations of whether a situation implies well-being or harm determine the emotional response. An experiment by Speisman et al. found that manipulating participants' cognitive framing of a video impacted their physiological stress responses, supporting the role of cognition in emotion. Overall, the document examines how both biological factors and cognitive appraisals work together to generate emotions.
Culture and memory
This document discusses how social and cultural factors affect memory. It presents evidence that culture impacts the formation of early autobiographical memories, with individuals from more collectivistic cultures having earlier earliest memories compared to those from more individualistic cultures. The Social-Interaction Model of memory proposes that our memories develop through conversations with others, and the type of questions asked (high vs low elaborative) influences what children remember. Studies show children whose mothers asked more elaborative questions had better memory of events. Culture also influences memory reconstruction through schemas as shown by a study where white and black participants remembered a scene differently.
The Nature of Memory
This document discusses memory and schema theory. It provides information on different types of memory like explicit and implicit memory. It summarizes studies by Bartlett and Brewer and Treyens that provide evidence for schema theory. Schema theory proposes that memory is influenced by a person's prior knowledge and experiences. The studies found that people recalled main ideas but changed unfamiliar details to fit their own schemas. The strengths of schema theory are that it explains the reconstructive nature of memory and how schemas influence perception. However, limitations are that schemas are not clearly defined and may be too vague. The case study of Clive Wearing, who has severe anterograde amnesia, also provides insights into the biological basis of memory.
Research at the bio lo a pp
This document discusses three common research methods used at the biological level of analysis: case studies, experiments, and correlational studies. It provides an overview of the pros and cons of each method. Case studies allow for an in-depth analysis of individual cases but have low reliability and generalizability. Experiments have high internal validity but low ecological validity. Correlational studies can show relationships between variables but do not prove causation.
Intro to general psych
The document provides an introduction to psychology. It defines psychology as the scientific study of behavior and mental processes, and how they are affected by both internal factors like genetics and diseases as well as external environmental factors. It explains that psychology uses the scientific method and relies on evidence to investigate human and animal behavior and mental processes. It also discusses some of the key internal mental processes studied in psychology, such as memory, learning, language, and decision making.
The power of the situation
The document discusses the concept of free will versus determinism and how human behavior can be influenced by outside forces through conditioning and learning. It references social experiments that tested how participants' actions were impacted by authority figures and situations more than their own free will. The key questions are to what extent individuals have control over their own actions or if behavior is predicted by external factors outside one's control.
Neuron and neurotransmitter pp
This document discusses neurons, neurotransmitters, and their impact on human behavior. It defines key terms like neuron, dendrite, axon, synapse, and neurotransmitter. It explains how neurons communicate via neurotransmitters released at the synapse between neurons. Serotonin imbalance is linked to depression, and SSRIs work by blocking serotonin reuptake. The document also summarizes a study that found acetylcholine plays a role in memory formation by manipulating its levels in rats. Dopamine is associated with reward and motivation rather than directly creating pleasure.

What is sociology and use.pdf
Sociology is the scientific study of social interaction and social organization. It examines how people construct attitudes, beliefs, values and behaviors in groups, and how these influence social interaction and organization. Sociologists seek to identify social problems and suggest strategies for social change. The sociological perspective views most human issues and behaviors as socially influenced rather than innate or individual. This chapter introduces key sociology concepts and the sociological imagination tool for understanding social phenomena from a broad social context.

Social identity theory & MLK
Social identity theory proposes that people derive part of their self-concept from group memberships. It explains how social categorization and comparisons between in-groups and out-groups impact behavior. Several studies discussed provide evidence for this, such as Tajfel's finding that random groupings led to in-group favoritism, and research showing that threats to social identity increase stress levels and derogation of out-groups. However, the theory also has limitations, as some studies had low ecological validity or did not fully account for factors like poverty. Overall, social identity theory effectively explains phenomena like in-group bias, conformity, and intergroup conflict, though more research is still needed.
Memory pp
Schemas influence memory formation and retrieval in several ways. Bartlett (1932) found that British participants assimilated and distorted a story to fit their cultural schemas over repeated retellings. Johnson and Bayford (1972) showed that providing a laundry schema before a paragraph improved recall versus no schema. Brewer and Treyens (1981) found schemas aided recall of typical office items but atypical items like a skull were also recalled. Allport and Postman (1947) showed racial schemas distorted a story's retelling between white and black participants. Overall, schemas act as filters that organize new information and reconstruct memories to fit existing knowledge structures.
Loftus and memory pp
This document discusses several studies that demonstrate how memory can be unreliable and manipulated. The Loftus and Palmer (1974) study showed that using different words to ask about a car crash led participants to estimate different speeds. Later studies showed how false memories could be implanted about experiences like hot air balloon rides. Even memories of stressful events like interrogations were found to be vulnerable to misinformation. These studies highlight how human memory reconstructs rather than perfectly recalls experiences, and is influenced by new information.
Flashbulb Memories
Flashbulb memories are highly vivid memories of learning about a shocking or emotional event. Early studies found that people had accurate memories of the context and their reactions to significant events like the JFK assassination. However, later studies found that flashbulb memories lack consistency and accuracy over time, even if confidence in the memories remains high. While emotional events may be more memorable initially, repeated testing has shown that flashbulb memories are reconstructive and details can change substantially within a few years of the event.
Stereotypes 2018
This document discusses stereotypes from several perspectives:
1. It defines stereotypes as generalizations made about groups that get applied to individuals. Several theories on the origins of stereotypes are presented, including social categorization and the "grain of truth" hypothesis.
2. Research is summarized that shows how holding stereotypes can impact perceptions and expectations of others. Studies demonstrate stereotypes influence judgments of intelligence and ability.
3. Additional research shows how knowing stereotypes exist about one's own group can negatively impact performance through "stereotype threat."
4. The document ends by reviewing studies on ways stereotypes may be overcome, such as exposing children to counter-stereotypical media portrayals and increasing awareness of implicit biases
Decision making
The document discusses two theories of decision making: the dual processing theory which describes two modes of thinking - fast/automatic and slow/deliberate, and the mindset theory which describes having either a growth or fixed mindset that impacts decisions. Research on the dual processing theory uses methods like brain imaging to study risky decision making in adolescents versus adults, while research on mindset theory uses interventions and surveys to study the relationship between mindset and academic achievement. The two theories differ in their focus on types of thinking and the types of evidence used to support them through research.
Genetics & Epigenetics
The document discusses genetics and its impact on human behavior. It begins by defining behavioral genetics and inheritance patterns. It then summarizes several twin and gene studies that examine the role of genetics in antisocial behavior. The studies found genetics account for about 50% of variations in antisocial behavior. The document also discusses the role of epigenetics in influencing gene expression and behavior based on environmental factors and parental experiences. In particular, it examines how stress and enriched environments in parents can lead to epigenetic changes that impact offspring behavior.
Social cognitive theory power point
Social Cognitive Theory explains how humans learn behavior through observational learning. This learning is shaped by cognition, environment, and reinforcement. Key aspects of SCT include modeling behaviors, self-efficacy, and outcome expectancies. Studies show children learn aggression from observing adult models, and children's aggression can be predicted by their self-efficacy and expectations of rewards for aggression. Monkey studies also show animals learn behaviors from their mothers.
Genetics & Antisocial Behavior
Genes contribute to about half of individual variations in antisocial behavior, according to twin studies. While genes may increase predisposition, they do not determine behavior alone. Studies found genetics account for 50% of antisocial behavior, but less impact for separated twins, showing environment also influences behavior. Research links low-activity MAOA genes interacting with childhood trauma to increased violence, suggesting genetics and environment combine to impact antisocial behavior.
Ethics 2018
This document discusses the ethical standards psychologists must follow when conducting research. It outlines the six main standards: informed consent, avoiding deception, protecting participants from harm, right to withdraw, debriefing, and confidentiality. The standards aim to protect human and animal participants. Researchers are required to receive informed consent, avoid or minimize deception, prevent physical and psychological harm, allow participants to withdraw at any time, debrief participants on the true purpose and any deception after the study, and keep participants' identities confidential.
Psychology Methodology
The document outlines the key steps and components of designing a research study in psychology, including developing an aim, methodology, and analyzing findings and conclusions. It discusses developing an aim that identifies the independent and dependent variables and target population. For methodology, it describes important considerations like participants/sampling, control conditions, design, validity, and reliability. It then covers specific methodology elements like treatment and control groups, repeated measures vs independent sample designs, reliability, and threats to internal and external validity.
Preventing violence
This document discusses several strategies for reducing violence and their relative effectiveness:
1) Self-control exercises, such as using only one hand for tasks, were found to decrease aggressive behavior for those who practiced them compared to a control group.
2) A yoga program in prisons resulted in increased self-control and less reported aggressiveness among inmates compared to a control group.
3) Teaching children empathy and perspective-taking skills led to less aggressive playground behavior than a control group.
4) However, anti-bullying programs in schools were found to be ineffective and possibly increased peer victimization.

Intro to psychological research cell phones
This document provides guidance on researching and forming an argument about whether cell phone use should be allowed in the classroom. It instructs students to brainstorm questions on the topic, categorize questions as open-ended or closed-ended, prioritize the most important questions, and find evidence from assigned readings to answer the questions. Students are then directed to create an argumentative thesis stating their claim and reasons, outline their argument with reasons and evidence, and analyze what types of evidence they are using to build their argument's credibility, engage emotions, or rely on logic.
Stress pp ib psych
This document discusses stress and its effects on the body and brain. It summarizes several studies that show: 1) Chronic stress can reduce the volume of the hippocampus and impair memory; 2) Chronic stress can weaken neurons in the frontal lobe and hippocampus while strengthening the amygdala; 3) High levels of the stress hormone cortisol can negatively impact memory, while moderate levels do not; 4) Children exposed to stress and violence who have high or low cortisol levels show delayed cognitive development compared to those with moderate levels.
Psychology of magic
This document discusses the psychology of magic and attention. It includes examples of magic tricks and research on attention. Magicians are able to manipulate attention and perception to create illusions. Students learn a magic trick, explaining how it relates to attention and perception, and compete to "fool" their teacher. Understanding attention and perception can change how we see the world and human behavior.
Intro to sports psychology, motivation, & goal setting

It provides definitions and examples of intrinsic and extrinsic motivation, as well as outlines for setting SMART goals. Students are prompted to reflect on their personal motivations and choose a sport/activity to focus on when discussing these psychology principles.
Sports psychology strategies
This document discusses several mental strategies that can help improve performance for competitions and life challenges. These include mental imagery, where top competitors visualize scenarios and outcomes to prepare; self-talk, using positive self-statements; personal mantras, short phrases that promote positive thinking; and controlling body language. The document encourages reflecting on weaknesses and overcoming barriers, then applying these mental techniques with specifics relevant to the individual's topic.
History of racism & portland
This document discusses the history and impacts of racism in Portland, Oregon and South Africa. It begins by defining race and racism, then outlines the origins and progression of racist ideologies and systems from the 14th century through today. Key periods discussed include the rise of slavery and colonialism between 1300-1600, the emergence of biological racism in the 19th century, and the Holocaust and civil rights movement in the 20th century. The document then examines examples of individual/interpersonal and systemic/institutional racism, and considers whether Portland exhibits racist traits through various examples and analyses. It concludes by reviewing apartheid in South Africa, the legacy of racism there today according to Trevor Noah's accounts, and ongoing issues discussed in recent news reports.
Mental illness and homelessness
This document provides an overview of learning about the connection between mental illness, homelessness, and being an ally. It includes the following key objectives: understanding how mental illness impacts homelessness issues; learning how this affects real world problems; and being able to use this information to analyze the film "The Soloist." Students are asked to record important words on these topics and create a word cloud summarizing the lesson. They are also directed to a website on keeping Oregon residents mentally well.
Intro to abnormal psych
This document provides an introduction to abnormal psychology, psychological disorders, and depression. It begins with defining key terms like abnormal and disorder, and discusses why these definitions are important but also tricky. It then explores different ways of defining abnormal behavior, including deviations from social norms, mental health, and ability to function. The document also discusses what makes a behavior considered abnormal and provides examples of mental disorders. It covers how psychologists diagnose disorders using the DSM manual and different approaches to understanding medical disorders. Specific topics related to depression are then outlined, including symptoms, causes, diagnosis process, and treatment options.

Major debates in psych
- 2. Today’s Objective S I can understand and discuss key questions that psychologists ask. S I can apply my thinking to real life examples.
- 4. Major Debates in Psychology S Psychologists ask many questions, but many of those questions are rooted in a few basic debates. S Nature & Nurture S Reductionism & Holism S Free-Will & Determinism
- 5. Nature & Nurture S Main Question: To what extent are behaviors the result of internal (biological) or environmental factors? S Nature: Our biological functions, genetic makeup, and evolutionary processes shape our behaviors. We are born with the traits we show. S Nurture: Our environment, other people, and stressors shapes our behaviors. S Real Life Example: Academic Success
- 6. Reductionism & Holism S Main Question: Is human behavior the result of a single (biological) cause or multiple factors? S Reductionism: Human behavior can be explained by breaking it down into smaller component parts. Biological functions and evolutionary processes are at the core of behavior. S Holism: Human behavior is the result of the whole rather than their smaller parts. We must consider multiple causes of behavior, not just one. S Real Life Example: Depression
- 7. Free-Will & Determinism S Main Question: To what extent is an individual’s behavior within their control or predicted by outside forces? S Free-Will: We are able to have some choice in how we act and assumes that we are free to choose our behavior, in other words we are self determined. S Determinism: Behavior is caused by preceding factors and is thus predictable. We do not have full control over our behaviors. S Real Life Examples: Violent Crimes
- 8. Today’s Topic S To what extent is the development of racism inevitable in human society? S Nature & Nurture: Is racism a product of nature or nurture? S Reductionism & Holism: What is the best way to address the causes of racism? S Free-Will & Determinism: Do we have control over whether we are racist or not? S TIME Magazine: Why Your Baby is Racist -- and You Can Live With That
- 9. Summary Paragraph S Work with your group to write a paragraph that answers the following question…. S To what extent is the development of racism inevitable in human society?
