Study Notes
Introduction to Psychology
- Psychology is the study of the mind, thoughts, and behaviours in living things.
- Psychodynamic theory is an approach to therapy focusing on resolving a patient's conflicted conscious and unconscious feelings.
- Sigmund Freud's psychoanalytic theory suggests that early childhood experiences influence behaviour.
- The unconscious mind is accessed through free association (writing words associated with another).
- The unconscious mind processes information we are unaware of.
- The conscious mind processes information we are aware of.
- The conscious mind consists of the id, ego, and superego.
- The id is instinctual thinking (pleasure principle).
- The ego is rational thinking (reality principle).
- The superego is the moral centre.
- Carl Jung believed the unconscious has personal and collective components.
- Personal unconscious is unique to individuals
- Collective unconscious is inherited from ancestors.
- Jung's work contributed to personality concepts like introversion and extraversion.
- Behaviourism focuses on observable behaviours and how experiences condition behaviours
Behaviourism
- Behaviourism studies behaviours caused by conditioning.
- Changing behaviours through reconditioning helps to treat patients.
- Classical conditioning—Ivan Pavlov—associates things through learned responses
- Operant conditioning—B.F. Skinner—how rewards/punishments influence behaviour.
Cognitive Psychology
- Cognition involves mental processes (thinking, knowing, remembering).
- Albert Bandura's cognitive revolution considers the person's background in situations.
- Individuals learn behaviour by observing others.
- Jean Piaget created Stages of Cognitive Development.
- Erik Erikson described cognitive abilities developing through adulthood.
Influential Psychological Experiments
- Asch's Conformity Study—Conformity increases with pressure.
- Kitty Genovese's Murder—Bystander Effect: presence of others reduces helping.
- Little Albert experiment—Classical conditioning and fear development.
- Stanford Prison Study—Behaviour is situational, people conform to certain roles in certain conditions.
- Stanley Milgram Experiment—Obedience to authority.
Ethical Issues in Psychology
- Ethics—Respect for the dignity of persons, responsible caring, integrity of relationships, responsibility to society.
- Unethical experiments include Little Albert, Stanford Prison, and the Stanley Milgram study.
- Landis’ Facial Expressions Experiment studied facial expressions, not ethical in methodologies.
- The Monster Study tested the impact of speech development, unethical methods used.
