In the world of psychology, there are several different perspectives that psychologists use to describe and explain human behavior and mental processes.  You can think of these perspectives as different "lenses" you can wear to study psychology.

For instance, if you approach psychology from a Biological Perspective you might ask questions about how a person's biology determines their behavior/thought processes.  These different "lenses" help create various explanations from which we can analyze the various phenomena.  You read about several perspectives in Chapter 1.

Use the internet or your textbook to find information about the perspective that interests you most, to answer the following questions:

  1. In at least 150 words describe the basic beliefs, assumptions, or approaches of the perspective?
  1. Who is a famous psychologist or psychological theorist associated with your particular perspective?  Include the name of the person and names of any famous studies or theories they are particularly known for.
