A 15 Minute History of Psychology
• The story of psychology reaches all the way back to Ancient Greece – where they believed that the mind was separate from the body and lived on after death
![Page 6: 4 1 2010+P97 Aslides](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042613/5549970fb4c90507608b48f3/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
A 15 Minute History of Psychology
• Aristotle – used principles of logic and observation that all still used today
• Deductive reasoning - An example of a deductive argument and hence of deductive reasoning:
1. All men are mortal
2. Aristotle is a man
3. (Therefore,) Aristotle is mortal • AKA – syllogisms

A 15 Minute History of Psychology
Rene Descartes – 1596 – 1650
• Proposed a mechanism for response to external events
• Dualism – mind and body
• Pineal gland – believed this is where the mind and body “met”
![Page 10: 4 1 2010+P97 Aslides](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042613/5549970fb4c90507608b48f3/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
A 15 Minute History of Psychology
• Francis Bacon – 1561 - 1626
• founder of the scientific method was fascinated by our human desire to perceive meaning in random events
• Inductive reasoning falsifiable hypotheses
• A requirement of the scientific method
![Page 11: 4 1 2010+P97 Aslides](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042613/5549970fb4c90507608b48f3/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
A 15 Minute History of Psychology
• John Locke – helped found empiricism – the view that knowledge originates in experience and that science should therefore rely on observation and experimentation for adding to knowledge – he argued that at birth the mind is a “blank slate” or “Tabula Rasa”
• Empiricism – knowledge originates in experience and that science should therefore, rely on observation and experimentation
![Page 12: 4 1 2010+P97 Aslides](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042613/5549970fb4c90507608b48f3/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
A 15 Minute History of Psychology
Wilhelm Wundt –
• Developed the first psychological apparatus
• Widely considered the “father of experimental psychology”
• Established first psychology laboratory at the University of Leipzig
![Page 13: 4 1 2010+P97 Aslides](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042613/5549970fb4c90507608b48f3/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
A 15 Minute History of Psychology
Edward Titchener
• Student of Wundt’s
• Introduced “Structuralism” to attempt to discover the elements of the mind
• Introspection – the method of self-reflection from which mental elements could be discovered
![Page 14: 4 1 2010+P97 Aslides](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042613/5549970fb4c90507608b48f3/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
A 15 Minute History of Psychology
William James –
• Functionalism – the function of mental processes (as opposed to the structure)
• 1890 – Publishes The Principles of Psychology
• Describes psychology as the “science of mental life”
![Page 15: 4 1 2010+P97 Aslides](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042613/5549970fb4c90507608b48f3/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
A 15 Minute History of Psychology
Sigmund Freud –
• Founder of the psychoanalytic approach
• Free associations, analysis of dreams, and fantasies
• The conscious and unconsciousness mind The ego, id, and superego
• Psychosexual personality theory
![Page 16: 4 1 2010+P97 Aslides](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042613/5549970fb4c90507608b48f3/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
A 15 Minute History of Psychology
The Behaviorists – • John Watson and B. F. Skinner• Redefined psychology as the “Scientific study of
observable behavior”• They believed this made psychology more
“scientific” • It took the mind out of psychology• Dominant Perspective in psychology from 1920s
until the 1960s
![Page 17: 4 1 2010+P97 Aslides](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042613/5549970fb4c90507608b48f3/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Psychology’s Big Debate
• The Nature/Nurture debate
• Going back to Plato – believed that character and intelligence are inherited (nature)
• Locke – believed that we are a blank slate (nurture)
• Descartes believed it was some of both
![Page 18: 4 1 2010+P97 Aslides](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042613/5549970fb4c90507608b48f3/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
The 3 Levels of Analysis
![Page 19: 4 1 2010+P97 Aslides](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042613/5549970fb4c90507608b48f3/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Two Types of Research
• Basic research = research that adds to the knowledge base and seeks to understand phenomena for their own sake
• Applied research = research that is design and conducted in an attempt to solve a practical problem
• Both types of research inform each other
![Page 20: 4 1 2010+P97 Aslides](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042613/5549970fb4c90507608b48f3/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
The Scientific Approach
• Sometimes there is a well “duh” reaction to psychology
• Just confirming to common sense teaches• “just confirms what I already knew”• Hindsight Bias - the inclination to see events that
have occurred as more predictable than they really are
• On Monday – everyone knew the Saints were going to beat the Colts
![Page 21: 4 1 2010+P97 Aslides](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042613/5549970fb4c90507608b48f3/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Obviously?
• If you want to teach a habit to persist, reward the desired behavior every time, not just sometimes
• Traumatic experiences are typically repressed• Fears of harmless objects like flowers are just as
easy to acquire as fears of potentially dangerous objects, like snakes
• If you give someone a small gift or do them a favor they will like you more
![Page 22: 4 1 2010+P97 Aslides](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042613/5549970fb4c90507608b48f3/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
We are so smart…
Anagrams –
• Wreat Water
• Etryn Entry
• Grabe Barge
• Seilnt Silent
• Cine Nice
![Page 23: 4 1 2010+P97 Aslides](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042613/5549970fb4c90507608b48f3/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
…When we know the answer
Anagrams –
• Unorfed
= founder
• Nicesec
= science
• Dirty room
= Dormitory
• Cash lost in 'em
= Slot machines
![Page 24: 4 1 2010+P97 Aslides](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042613/5549970fb4c90507608b48f3/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
The Scientific Attitude
• Be Curious – be willing to investigate without leaping to conclusions
• Be Skeptical – when someone says the question is settled wonder why Science requires that the question be ongoing
• Be Open minded – this is the hardest one – for a bunch of reasons that we are going to talk much more about later
![Page 25: 4 1 2010+P97 Aslides](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042613/5549970fb4c90507608b48f3/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
The Scientific Method
• Scientific theory – Uses an integrated set of principles that organize and predict behavior
• Operational definitions – what are you measuring?
• Hypothesis testing – what are you predicting?• Reporting research• Peer review • Psychology Journals
![Page 26: 4 1 2010+P97 Aslides](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042613/5549970fb4c90507608b48f3/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Replication
• The ability of others to reproduce research findings
• When different studies replicate findings they are said to have convergent validity
• The more the findings replicate the more certain we become that we are witnessing an actual phenomenon – not just an anomaly
![Page 27: 4 1 2010+P97 Aslides](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042613/5549970fb4c90507608b48f3/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Psychology Research
• Case Studies – One person is studied in great detail
• Sigmund Freud – used this method to study mostly Viennese women
• What is a weakness of this type of research?
![Page 28: 4 1 2010+P97 Aslides](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042613/5549970fb4c90507608b48f3/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Psychology Research
• Naturalistic Observation
• Describes behavior
• Does not explain it
• Can still be very interesting and revealing
• Ethnography – systematic study of a naturally occurring phenomenon
![Page 29: 4 1 2010+P97 Aslides](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042613/5549970fb4c90507608b48f3/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Psychology Research cont.
Surveys
• A fairly easy way to collect a lot of data
• Random sampling – increases ability to generalize about the population
• Large survey samples approach population beliefs better than small ones
![Page 30: 4 1 2010+P97 Aslides](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042613/5549970fb4c90507608b48f3/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Wording Effects in Surveys
How much do you agree with the following?• “Free healthcare for all people is a good idea”• “Healthcare for all that will cost trillions of dollars
in additional taxes and only insures about half of those uninsured is a good idea”
• “Given that free healthcare is a human right, the recent health care initiative providing healthcare for all is an idea whose time has come”
![Page 31: 4 1 2010+P97 Aslides](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042613/5549970fb4c90507608b48f3/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Wording Effects in Surveys
• Please give 3 examples of when you have been assertive
OR
• Please give 10 examples of when you have been assertive
In general how assertive are you?
• Availability effects
![Page 32: 4 1 2010+P97 Aslides](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042613/5549970fb4c90507608b48f3/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Biased Questions
• How fast was the car going when it hit the other car?
OR
• How fast was the car going when it smashed into the other car?
![Page 33: 4 1 2010+P97 Aslides](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042613/5549970fb4c90507608b48f3/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Bias Resulting from the Sample
• In survey sampling, bias refers to the tendency of a sample statistic to systematically over- or under-estimate a population parameter
• A statistic is a characteristic of a sample. Generally, a statistic is used to estimate the value of a population parameter
• A parameter is a measurable characteristic of a population, such as a mean or a standard deviation
![Page 34: 4 1 2010+P97 Aslides](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042613/5549970fb4c90507608b48f3/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Bias Resulting from the Samplecont.
A good sample is representative. This means that each sample point represents the attributes of a known number of population elements
• Undercoverage - occurs when some members of the population are inadequately represented in the sample
• Nonresponse bias. Sometimes, individuals chosen for the sample are unwilling or unable to participate in the survey
![Page 35: 4 1 2010+P97 Aslides](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042613/5549970fb4c90507608b48f3/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Order Effects in Survey
• “How interested are you in politics?”Or• “What is the name of your congressman?”And then• “How interested are you in politics?”• People who did not know the name of their
congressperson reported less interest in politics
![Page 36: 4 1 2010+P97 Aslides](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042613/5549970fb4c90507608b48f3/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Types of Survey Research
• Cross sectional – this is a snapshot in time of how people feel at a given moment
• Cross sectional research tells us little about causation
• Longitudinal – asks the same people the same questions multiple times – allows the researchers to examine changes over time
![Page 37: 4 1 2010+P97 Aslides](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042613/5549970fb4c90507608b48f3/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Responses to September 11
Silver et al., 2002• Survey research can inform us about population reactions to
important events• Nationally representative sample (n=1069)• People across the country experienced PTSD like symptoms
after 9/11• 17% outside NY city reported 9/11 related PTSD symptoms 2
months after the attacks and 5.8% did 6 months later• Psychological effects of a major nationwide trauma not
limited to those directly exposed• Disengaging from coping can signal psychological difficulties
up to 6 months after the trauma
![Page 38: 4 1 2010+P97 Aslides](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042613/5549970fb4c90507608b48f3/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Correlation
• The relationship between two things• How much do two variables vary together• Correlation can be positive or negative• Correlation versus causation• Illusory correlation• Correlation coefficient, “r” – a statistic that
tells us how closely two things vary together
![Page 39: 4 1 2010+P97 Aslides](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042613/5549970fb4c90507608b48f3/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)

More Correlation
![Page 41: 4 1 2010+P97 Aslides](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042613/5549970fb4c90507608b48f3/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Perceiving Order in Random Events
• People often impose order where there is none
• Uncertainty is scary
• The “just world”
![Page 42: 4 1 2010+P97 Aslides](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042613/5549970fb4c90507608b48f3/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Experiments
• Key condition of experiments is random assignment
• Experimental designs
• Mundane vs. Psychological realism
• Causality revisited
![Page 43: 4 1 2010+P97 Aslides](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042613/5549970fb4c90507608b48f3/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Motivated Skepticism
Ditto & Lopez, 1992 (experiment 2)• University students exposed “test strips” to saliva (n = 51)• Some were told if the strip stayed the same color it
indicated an enzyme deficiency – others were told just the opposite – in reality none of the strips changed color
• Color reaction was supposed take about 20 seconds• Subjects in the enzyme deficient group waited longer to
submit their test strips back to researchers and also conducted replications to confirm the non-desirable outcome
• Conclusion – people often search for alternative explanations for negative, but not positive outcomes
![Page 44: 4 1 2010+P97 Aslides](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042613/5549970fb4c90507608b48f3/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Describing Data
• Statistics
1. Measures of central tendency
2. Measures of variation
3. More cases versus less cases
4. Significant differences
![Page 45: 4 1 2010+P97 Aslides](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042613/5549970fb4c90507608b48f3/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Average Home Price in L.A.
100k + 100k + 125k+ 150k + 100k + 175k +
200k + 150k + 100k + 5million
Equals = $6,200,000
Divided by 10 = $620,000
Is this a good measure of the “average”
![Page 46: 4 1 2010+P97 Aslides](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042613/5549970fb4c90507608b48f3/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)

Neuroscience and Behavior
• Everything “psychological” is also “biological”
• Early assumptions
• Interplay of biology and psychology
