What is the background of the study of psychology? - BulletPoints 1

  • The three fundamental ideas of psychology come down to: Behavior and mental experiences have physical causes that can be studied scientifically; the way people behave, feel and think is shaped over time by their experiences in their environment; the body produces behavior and mental experiences, and is a product of evolution through natural selection.
  • According to Descartes, the difference between humans and animals was the mind. He defined thoughts as conscious considerations and judgments.

What is Leary's book Introduction to Behavioral Research Methods about?

  • The subject of 'replicating research' is discussed in more detail.

  • The order of topics dealt with within Chapters 11 and 12 has changed.
  • Information has been added about the safety of research via computers and the confidentiality of data.
