12 Psychology History & Perspectives Name _ Check Your Understanding Psychological Perspectives PART I Directions: Read each scenario below and determine which of the current perspectives in psychology it represents: psychodynamic, behavioral, humanistic, cognitive, biological, or socio-cultural. Please write the NAME of the perspective in the space provided. 1. Psychologists from which perspective might believe the mental state associated with being in love can be reduced to a chemical reaction in the brain? 2. Dr. Meyer is studying the effects of ethnic bias (prejudice/stereotypes) on the academic performance of immigrant children. Most likely, he practices from which perspective? 3. A psychologist from what perspective might ask you to keep a dream journal to get to the root of your problems? 4. Five-year old Todd watched his father at his workbench, hammering together a birdhouse. Soon Todd was next to his father, hammer in hand, tapping the workbench. Todd s behavior is best described by which perspective? 5. In reviewing the contents of several psychology journals, a student noted a marked increase in the number of articles on memory and thinking over the past dozen years. He concluded that there has been increased interest in which psychological perspective? 6. Dr. Levy studies the influence of hormones in determining maternal behavior and sexual behavior in rats. Levy probably adheres to which perspective? 7. Kathy was a very successful real estate agent. At age 35 she decided to donate her wealth to charity and become a missionary in Haiti, where she has been living in relative contentment for the last 2 years. She now feels personally fulfilled and complete. Which psychological perspective best explains Kathy s behavior? 8. Research regarding rates of alcoholism in various countries shows higher rates for places like the U.S. and Britain, but lower rates for Italy and Spain. What perspective does this support?
13 PART II Directions: Respond to the prompt below to see if you can synthesize what you have learned. A famous television and movie actress is repeatedly in and out of rehabilitation centers for drug and alcohol abuse. She began her career as the lead in a popular children s show and spent a decade staring in both Hollywood movies and television dramas. Now, in her late-twenties, she is a regular feature in the celebrity magazines and tabloids for her bizarre public outbursts, illegal behavior and edgy lifestyle. Finally, as a result of a court-order, she has sought psychological counseling and assessment. She is finding it hard to decide on a permanent psychologist because she is receiving conflicting explanations for her lack of functioning. For each of the perspectives listed below, use your knowledge of their key assumptions to write 2-3 sentences regarding how the perspective might be utilized to explain the actress behavior. Cite key terms and create specific examples that would apply in your explanation. Exemplar: A socio-cultural psychologist might attempt to explain the actress erratic and self-destructive behaviors as a result of growing up in the fast-paced, fame-obsessed, over-glamourized culture of Hollywood. Because her success and popularity came at an early age, she likely lacked the capacities and emotional maturity to cope with the intense media scrutiny and paparazzi attention that accompanies stardom, pushing her to turn to drugs and alcohol as an escape. Or she may be escalating her scandalous behaviors in an attempt to keep her name in the media if her acting career has been damaged by her reputation. 1. A psychoanalyst: 4. A humanist: 2. A behaviorist: 5. A biological psychologist: 3. A cognitive psychologist:
