As you required I attached here a file of Psychology Schools Of Thought you can download it. Psychology Schools Of Thought Schools of Thought in Psychology Experimental psychology- a branch of the discipline that sets up experiments to monitor how individual act in particular situations Clinical psychology- a branch of the discipline that develops programs for treating individuals suffering from metal illnesses and behavioural disorders. Psychoanalytic Theory -according to this theory the mind is divided into two parts…..the conscious and the unconscious. The unconscious mind is further developed into 3 parts, the id, ego and superego -personality development and individual behaviour are governed by how the three parts of the unconscious mind interact Behaviourism -the branch of psychology that tries to control / regulate human behaviour by identifying the factors that motivate it in the first place -emphasis is placed on childhood and the rules and practices parents use to raise their children Learning Theory -the school of thought that believes humans are born with little instinct but much learning potential -most human behaviour is learned, therefore, society can have a great influence Schools of Thought in Sociology Structural Functionalism -the idea that human societies have basic needs that must be met -the following are the fundamental requirements to ensure that society functions properly * ways of satisfying material needs * a system for socializing and educating the young * a means for regulating human reproduction * a system for co-ordinating society’s overall needs -not concerned with the changes in society but on how its members perform their specified function based on shared values, beliefs and social norms -a change in one thing in society will cause a change in something else therefore disrupting social cohesion Neo-Marxism -based on the ideas of Karl Marx -the idea that economic power, which leads to political power, is the key to understanding societies -social change is the result of changes to the economic system -Neo-Marxists try to understand the economic system -they believe that there will always be a distinct division in class (rich and poor) and that the poor will feel alienated. Alienation will not go away unless a new economic system is created Symbolic Interactionism -subscribes to the idea that humans have complex brains and little instinctive behaviour -individuals interpret what they see in society and internalize it and give it meaning for themselves -therefore, values and beliefs differ from person to person Feminist Theory -focuses on sex and gender issues, believing that women have traditionally been disadvantaged in society because men have discriminated against them *liberal feminists = society should be more welcoming to women and more Assessable to women’s influence *Marxian feminists = women’s unpaid and undervalued domestic work has Made it possible for industrial owners to pay lower wages to male workers. *Radical feminists = the idea that men have exploited women because of Their child bearing role which has led to systemic oppression of women *Socialist feminists = try to separate issues of oppression that are the Result of capitalism and patriarchy |
