Changes in theoretical perspectives or conceptual frameworks

Paradigm Shift

A fundamental change in the underlying assumptions, concepts, and methodologies of a paradigm, leading to a new way of understanding a phenomenon or field of study.

Non-Example of a Paradigm in Psychology

Examples of Paradigms in Psychology

Behaviorism: focuses on observable behavior and environmental factors
Humanism: emphasizes personal growth, self-actualization, and subjective experience
Cognitive Psychology: explores mental processes, such as perception, attention, and memory
