3. Intelligent Quotient Scale – Accurate?  https://memorado.com/iqtest?r=134#.U-IiTZtlIsv.facebook https://memorado.com/iqtest?r=134#.U-IiTZtlIsv.facebook  Stanford-Binet Scale (1916)  Over 140 - Genius or almost genius 120 - 140 - Very superior intelligence 110 - 119 - Superior intelligence 90 - 109 - Average or normal intelligence 80 - 89 - Dullness 70 - 79 - Borderline deficiency in intelligence Under 70 - Feeble-mindedness  Research what these findings mean and determine their accuracy based on personal introspection.  FOR HW - One paragraph summary of your results and conclusions

4. Unit 1 – Chapter 1 Psychology is… The scientific study of behavior and mental process Behavior-ANY action other people can observe or measure Goals of Psychology Observe Describe Explain Predict CONTROL? CHANGE? A Social Science, but also deals with Natural Science

5. What do Psychologist do?  MANY different groups, with varied focus CANNOT prescribe medication (psychiatrist)  Clinical – largest group Depression, anxiety, relationships, drugs, etc  Counseling – adjustment issues Family, marital, etc  School/Education – schools and districts Learning disorders, peers, standardized tests, etc  Other…including experimental/research  REFLECTION???? Which would you choose?

6. History of Psychology  Ancient Greeks Socrates said we should “question ourselves” – introspection Hippocrates – disturbed mentalities were abnormalities in the brain (physical)  1800’s in Europe Wilhelm Wundt – Structuralism ○ Human mind combined objective sensations with subjective thought William James – Functionalism ○ Human ADAPT to environment and learn from successful experience John B. Watson – Behaviorism ○ Based on observable, measurable ACTIONS, only the person knows why it happened ○ Little Albert? Read and video Little Albert?

7. History of Psychology, Part Deuce BF Skinner – Added to Behaviorism ○ REINFORCEMENT/REWARD will influence behavior Positive/Negative? ○ Classical Conditioning ○ Operant Condition ○ SKINNER VIDEO – explain Skinner’s Experiments SKINNER VIDEO Gestalt School People seek out PATTERNS to determine behavior Learning is ACTIVE and purposeful INSIGHT reorganizes perceptions therefore changes behavior

8. History of Psychology – then there was Freud  Sigmund Freud - Psychoanalysis Understanding through consulting with patients (the Couch) Behavior is a result of unconscious motives and internal conflicts ○ Freudian slips? Dreams? Sexual and aggressive instincts, clashing with the rules of society, cause many HIDDEN conflicts

9. Sit Bluto, Lets Talk  Analyze Bluto’s behavior using… Functionalism Behaviorism Psychoanalysis  Attempt to explain why Bluto acts this using the three schools of thought Blutarski video

10. Contemporary Perspectives of Psychology  Built on Classic Theories Neuroscience – body and brain enables emotions ○ Natural Science?? Evolutionary – Natural selection perpetuates STRONG genes ○ Social Darwin??? Behavior genetics – Nature VS Nurture ○ Twins?? Psychodynamic – Unconscious drives Behavioral – Observable responses Cognitive – Storing and processing information Socio Cultural – Changes in behavior and thinking are different according to culture ○ Nacirema??

11. Unit 1 - Chapter 2  Scientific Method Question Hypothesis Test Analysis - Draw a Conclusion  Identify the Scientific Method…do you agree with their conclusions?

12. Psychological Methods  Psychology is an EXPERIMENTAL SCIENCE  Surveys, Samples and Populations Survey Method ○ Asking people directly through questionnaires or interviews Population and Samples ○ Target Population – the group to be studied ○ Sample – PART of the Target Population Random Sample – selected by chance Stratified Sample – proportional representation of the target group

13. Methods of Observation  Testing Method –learn about human behavior through tests Intelligence Aptitude Personality ○ Take the SAD test!!!  Case-Study Method – In-depth investigation of a group or person VIDEO: “Genie The Wild Child” “Genie The Wild Child” ○ Three paragraphs that Identify Genie’s story What is being tested Results

14. Social Avoidance and Distress Scale Results  Count ONE (1) point for each answer that matches 1. F 2. T 3. F 4. F 5. T 6. F 7. F 8. T 9. F 10. T 11. T 12. F 13. T 14. T 15. F 16. T 17. F 18. T 19. F 20. T 21. T 22. F 23. T 24. T 25. F 26. T 27. F 28. F The Norms reported by Watson and Friend (1969) Low Moderate High Males Below 4 4-19 20+ Females 0 1-16 17+ The HIGHER the score the GREATER degree of Social Discomfort. Analyze: 1. The NORMS that W&F developed. What do they mean? 2. YOUR score. DO you agree with W&F? Accuracy?

15. Other Methods of Observation  Naturalistic Method Field study of people in their nautral environment  Laboratory/Observation Method Not always the white-sterile stereotype lab The Skinner Box

16. Analyzing Observations  Correlation – a measure of how closely one thing is related to another A STRONG correlation means things are closely related  Positive Correlation A RELATIONSHIP between the variables  Negative Correlation WEAK relationships between variables  Correlations describe relationships NOT cause and effect!

17. Experiment Method  Participants receive a Treatment within a certain Condition  Variables are factors that can vary or change within the experiment  Independent Variable – factor manipulated so researchers can determine its effect Example: Raising or lowering the Temperature in a classroom  Dependent Variable – id DEPENDENT on the I.V. Example: How the students react and behave  Experimental Group and Control Group are both studied  Placebo??

18. Ethical Issues  Ethics are standards for proper and responsible behavior (APA) Confidentiality; private; not harmful; purposeful/meaningful; when the benefits outweigh the harm?!?!?!  Animal Research Used ONLY when there is no alternative Moving away from it today  Researcher should be as objective and thoughtful as possible in planning and perpetrating their experiments  Unethical Experiments Assignment

19. Psychology Unit 2 Chapters 3 and 4  Biology and Behavior  Sensation and Perception
