The definition of psychology as a social science is the scientific study of the behavior of man and the mind. Psychology is a broad discipline or subject that has a lot of branches in the areas of health, human development, cognitive processes, and social behavior.
The origin of psychology can be traced back to 400 – 500 years BC in ancient Greece. However, the recent and advanced studies on the science of psychology have occurred over the last 150 – 200 years. Some major historians in the field of psychology include Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle. They made remarkable impacts in the field starting from Socrates who influenced the others.
Popular topics that are often discussed in modern psychology include free will vs determinism, attraction, memory, and nature vs nurture. The study of psychology as a discipline hinges on two popular theoretical perspectives; functionalism and structuralism. The latter is dependent on developed introspection, which is a research strategy that enables people to associate their thoughts while carrying out a responsibility. Nonetheless, this has been a method with loopholes and weaknesses due to the variations in human reports and experiences on certain topics. What brought an incredible change in the discipline of psychology is Psychoanalysis. This theory was formulated by Sigmund Freud within the 1800s and 1900s.
Psychology has four major objectives as it relates to the human mind and behavior. These goals include describing, explaining, predicting, and changing the attitude and mind of humans. Discover the elements, structures, foundations, facts, and other related topics in psychology.Some researches done by Sigmund Freud and his theories are also contained in this DVD.
