Document Summary
Critical thinking active role in learning and understanding things around the world. Systematic research methods developing research designs to test a hypothesis. Psychodynamic the 1st perspective on behaviour; unconscious processes. An example of psychodynamic slip of the tongue: instead of saying mom you"re the best, It suggests that all behaviour has an unconscious cause saying mom you"re the beast. Suggests if , you can control the environment, you can control the behaviour. Cognitive behaviourism the link between behaviour and cognitive perspective. Takes the optimistic and positive view of human nature. People do have freedom, conscious choices, they have reasons for what they do. How we process, store, retrieve and use information. How behaviour and thinking can vary across cultures. Has some similarity to behaviourism but is a broader perspective that focuses on cultural and societal experiences. Focuses on the physical side of human nature. The brain structures and function, biochemical processes and genetic factors.
