In addition to our three perspectives for IB Psychology, what other perspectives are discussed in your text, and how might those contribute to the study of Psychology?
Contrary to the logically simplistic IB Crane book, the Myers book suggests that their are several additional approaches to the subject of psychology. Besides the "Big Three" so to speak, there are also the neuroscience, evolutionary, behavior genetics and psychodynamic perspectives. The specificity of the AP textbook allows for a more indepth, though slightly narrow perception of this highly subjective science.
Other than the biological, cognitive and sociocultural perspectives, there are also neuroscience, evolutionary, psychodynamic and behavior genetic perspectives. These are all psychology's current perspectives. They all allow for different ways of identifying, diagnosing and treating the individual.
The meyers book talks about 4 more perspectives; psychodynamic, evolutionary, nuerosceince, and behavior genetics. With these and the three perspectives in the IB textbook pyschologist can observe, diagnose and treat behavior more effectively, because they have examined it through more angles.
Having more than just the three perspectives, the rest can add more ways to help diagnose them. They help to narrow down things. Having more perspectives allows for more specific categorization.
Besides our three main perspectives of psychology, our text also mentions neuroscience, evolutionary, behavior genetics, and psychodynamic psychological perspectives. These perspectives contribute to psychology at a molecular level - the brain and its many functions (neuroscience), and psychological traits that survive natural selection (evolutionary) – and a behavior level – our differences are influenced by our genes and our environment (behavior genetics), and how our behavior is influenced by unconscious factors (psychodynamic)- to give a well-rounded topic of study.
In the text, the book talks about neuroscience, genetics, psychodynamic behvioUrs/perspectives. i think that genetics can have effect on the way people act but i dont think that if someone has an addiction, they you cant blame it on genetics. someones parent could be a crack addict, but it doesnt mean they are going to be a crack addict.
Sup, it's tobs. The other perspectives are neuroscience, evolutionary, behavior genetics, and psychodynamic. They help to analyze psychological issues and topics from varied viewpoints in order to furthur understand these issues and address them properly. Peace out higmeister and class. Deuces
Oh sup fellow blog bros? Hows it hangin? anyways about this sick nasty psych question: besides the big three psych perspectives like d-wade king james and chris bosh there are four more the book talks about which are neuroscience, evolutionary, behavior genetics, and psychodynamic. These four perspectives give a whole different aspect the three others dont giving a more accurate diagnosis for any patient that needs help or guidance.
Sorry i'm late i did not have access to a computer yesterday. Other than the three that we constantly talk about in class, there are neuroscience, evolutionary, psychodynamic and behavior genetics. The three we talk about is what we call broad, but then these four bring it in, making it a bit more specific. Neuroscience being the study of the brain and its functions, behavior genetics being the idea that we act based on our genetics. IE we have an addiction because of our genes. The other two are pretty self explanatory as well.
The ones they talk about in the book are neuroscience, evolutionary, psychodynamic and behavior genetics. These contribute to Physiology becausee it makes it a more rounded subject.

ReplyDeleteWell... since all of the topics from the text have been thoroughly explained, I don't see what I am supposed to say. (?)

ReplyDeleteThere are the three from the Crane book, but the AP book mentions some Freudian psychology witch is seen widely as out dated.
