Psychodynamic Perspective
Psychodynamic Perspective
A branch of psychology that focuses on the unconscious determinants of behavior. It explores how childhood experiences and repressed emotions shape our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.
Behavioral Perspective
Behavioral Perspective
Studies the effects of the environment on observable behavior. Behaviorists believe that learning occurs through interactions with the environment.
Biological Perspective
Biological Perspective
Examines the physiological bases of behavior. It investigates how biological factors, such as brain structures, neurotransmitters, and hormones, influence our thoughts, emotions, and actions.

Study Notes
Psychology Perspectives
- Psychodynamic: Focuses on unconscious determinants of behavior.
- Behavioral: Studies the effects of the environment on observable behavior in humans and animals.
- Cognitive: Involves mental processes and thoughts.
- Biological: Examines the physiological bases of behavior in humans and animals.
- Cross Cultural: Explores human behavior across various cultures.
- Evolutionary: Investigates evolutionary bases for behavior in humans and animals.
- Humanistic: Emphasizes unique aspects of human experiences and potential for growth.
Key Concepts
- Behavior: Any observable action made by an organism.
- Mental Processes: Internal and subjective processes inferred from behavior.
- Tabula Rasa: The idea of the human mind as a blank slate at birth, unformed by experiences.
- Introspection: The practice of describing one’s conscious experiences.
- Structuralism: Aims to analyze basic elements of thoughts and emotions.
- Gestalt Psychology: Argues that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.
- Natural Selection: Traits favoring survival and reproduction are more likely to be passed on.
Psychological Models
- Biopsychosocial Model: Integrates biological, psychological, and social-cultural influences to understand behavior.
- Behavioral Psychology: Focuses exclusively on observable events and stimulus-response relations.
- Psychoanalytic Psychology: Attributes personality and mental disorders to unconscious motives from early experiences.
- Humanistic Psychology: Asserts that humans are free and rational, capable of personal growth unlike animals.
- Cognitive Psychology: Insists that behavior is tied to how information is processed and stored.
- Biological Psychology: Links behavior to physiological structures and chemical processes.
- Evolutionary Psychology: Connects behavior patterns to adaptive problems solved through natural selection.
Learning and Conditioning
- Learning: A lasting change in behavior resulting from experience.
- Classical Conditioning: Learning through the association of two stimuli.
- Stimulus: Any environmental event that elicits a response.
- Neutral Stimulus: Initially does not elicit a specific response but draws attention.
- Unconditioned Response (UCR): A natural, unlearned reaction to a stimulus.
- Unconditioned Stimulus (UCS): An event that naturally triggers an unlearned response.
- Conditioned Response (CR): A learned reaction to a previously neutral stimulus.
- Conditioned Stimulus (CS): A stimulus that, after conditioning, prompts a learned response.
Pavlov and Classical Conditioning
- Ivan Pavlov: Recognized as the father of classical conditioning through his notable experiments with dogs.
- Pavlov's Experiment: Demonstrated dogs can be trained to salivate at the sound of a bell, associating it with food.
- Ethics of Pavlov’s Experiment: Considered unethical due to the lack of free will inherent in classical conditioning mechanisms.
Classical Conditioning Process
- Begins with an unconditioned stimulus that generates an unconditioned response.
