Professor abel views the causes of schizophrenia as strictly biological, while professor. Dr. mitchell is interested in the aggressive behaviour of pigeons. So, he goes to the park and records how many times one pigeon attacks another. This aspect of dr. mitchell"s research is most consistent with which goal of psychology: description, understanding, prediction, control, usefulness. As you listen to one of your psychology professors talking to a colleague, she uses the words hysteria and repression when speaking about memory. Most likely, she is speaking about which psychological perspective: social constructivism, psychodynamic, humanistic, neuroscience, sociobiology. You overhear two psychologists talking about a patient. Dr. a insists that the patient"s problem is the result of repression. Dr. b says no, it is the result of social constructivism.
