Psychology can be approached in many different ways. Two of the most popular approaches are the behaviourist approach and the Psychodynamic approach. John B Watson was the key founder of the Behaviourist approach. He was deeply influenced by animal studies and felt that psychology could not rely on introspection but on observation. He used many different methods such as observation, testing methods, verbal reports and the conditioned reflex method. In contrast to behavioural psychology, psychodynamic
Psychological Approaches Psychology was founded back in 1879. Psychology is the study of the brain and how it behaves. The psychological approaches that are focused on in this report are biological, behavioral and psychodynamic psychology. This report states what each approach is about, evidence behind it, examples and theories/ideas associated. This also has real-life examples of people's lives. Overall, this report will teach you what biological, behavioral and psychodynamic psychology are. Biological

Perspectives in Psychology In Psychology there are five main approaches; Psychodynamic, Cognitive, Behaviourist, Biological and Humanistic. The key areas of the following approaches will be analysed, the Psychodynamic approach which will look at theorists such as Freud and his assumptions on behaviour. It will also look at the methodology, strengths and limitations of this approach. The next approach that will be analysed will be the Behaviourist approach looking at Watson and his assumptions and
portrayed in two short stories written by Anton Chekhov, “The Lady and the Dog” and “The Lottery Ticket”. In these short stories, the reader can see that Chekhov uses social norms, gender roles, characterization, imagery, symbolism, conflict, and universal themes; which make the role of man very significant and important within the stories.

Behaviorism is an aspect of psychology that starts much before John Watson and other behaviorists. Whether physiologists Edward Thorndike and Ivan Pavlov knew it, they provided substantial advances in what is called Behaviorism in the psychology field. However, Watson is the one man that made behaviorism popular in the field of psychology. Behaviorism is seen as the study of human behavior. The goal of it is to predict human actions through responses and to see what controls human beings. John Watson
conditioning: classical conditioning and operant conditioning. Classical conditioning is a pairing between a natural occurring stimulus and a neutral stimulus. According to Pavlov and his experiment with dogs, he discovered that using a tone, alerting dogs that food is available, after some time, dogs were starting to salivate whenever the tone was introduced, even when the food was not readily available, so he realised this is not a natural response, but a learned response, a conditioned response.
Wag the Dog review relating to constructivism. Constructivism is a theory and aspect of psychology that seeks to explain how the public gets to learn and get knowledge on a specific subject or a specific occurrence. From this theory of constructivism, individuals get to come up with meanings towards a specific subject from their life experiences (University of Sydney). It can take many forms but the most rampant form of constructivism is social construction. Social construction majorly
In 1947, Orval Hobart Mowrer established the two-process model to explain how phobias are developed, which psychologists still use today. It uses two segments of behavioural psychology; Classical Conditioning and Operant Conditioning. The first stage, Classical Conditioning, looks at how association between the unconditioned stimulus and the unconditioned response leads to a phobia. One case that exemplifies this stage is in the case of Little Albert and the White Rat. Before classical conditioning
