1 Psychology is made up of 7 different perspectives. In other words, psychologists today, pick and choose from about 7 schools of thought to help you with your problems. Thus we have: THE SEVEN PERSPECTIVES OF PSYCHOLOGY!

2 Biological Perspective All of your feelings and behaviors have an organic root. In other words, they come from your brain, body chemistry, neurotransmitters, etc…

3 Evolutionary Perspective Focuses on Darwinism. We behave the way we do because we inherited those behaviors. Thus, those behaviors must have helped ensure our ancestors survival. How could this behavior ensured Homer’s ancestors survival?

4 Psychodynamic Perspective Focuses on the unconscious mind. We repress many of our true feelings and are not aware of them. Memories of experiences that we are not consciously aware of. If a man has intimacy issues and cannot form relationships with others. What do you think someone from this school may think? Perhaps they may delve into the man’s unconscious and discover that he was bullied when he were younger. The bullying may have caused fear in getting close to others.

5 Behavioral Perspective Focuses on observable behaviors. We behave in ways because we have been learned to do so through consequences.

6 Humanist Perspective Focuses on spirituality and free will. We have to strive to be the best we can be “self-actualization”. We all have the tools within us to reach our fullest potential.

7 Cognitive Perspective Focuses on how we think (or encode information) How do we see the world? How did we learn to act to sad or happy events? You meet a girl… Hopes are high!!! She rejects you…don’t even get digits. How do you react to the rejection? Some think positively, get back on the horse And try again. Some think negatively, give up and live a lonely life of solitude.

8 Social-Cultural Perspective Says that much of your behavior and your feelings are dictated by the culture you live in. Some cultures kiss each other when greeting, some just bow. Does your culture place value on individual or the group?
