An Experiment in Introspection

Wilhelm Wundt, known as the father of modern scientific psychology, opened the first lab to study human behavior in 1879. Wundt and his followers relied heavily upon introspection as a technique to analyze experiences. Subjects were exposed to an experience and asked to relate their thoughts, feelings, and images evoked by the event. Most experiences were either sensory or perceptual. Read the questions and write about this sensory experience. . . 1. What is the color of your candy? 2. Did you choose your piece based in the color? Why? 3. Place the candy in your mouth. Describe the flavor of the candy. 4. What images or memories does the candy evoke? 5. Does the taste diminish the longer the candy stays in your mouth? If so, why do you think this happens? 6. Describe the texture of the candy. 7. Does the texture change as the size diminished? 8. Bite the candy describe the sensation. 9. What happens to your teeth as you chew the candy? 10. What other senses are involved and how?

Explain how Behaviorism may be interpreted as a response to the psychodynamic perspective. Behaviorism takes use the scientific approach Experiments that can be replicated and proven false Explain how humanism may be interpreted as a response to both the psychodynamic perspective and behaviorism. Psychodynamic and Behaviorism reduce human behavior in very small components. Humanism takes a much more holistic view. Humanist also take more a growth mindset

According to evolutionary psychologists, all organisms, including humans, are "gene producing machines" with the basic motivation of perpetuating their own genetic pool. In short, our genes predispose us to act in ways that enhance their chances of surviving and spreading. This fundamental motive underlies all our behavior. In response to questions 1 and 2, respondents are more likely to choose the 5 year old and 20 year old, respectively. Why? As Weiner explains, because some children die between ages 1 and 5, and 5 year olds are therefore more likely to reproduce, saving the older child would be more likely to perpetuate the genetic pool. Similarly, a 20 year old is more likely to reproduce than is a 40 year old. Ultimately, it is mating that perpetuates the genetic pool. For the female, reproductive capacities are limited to approximately 25 children. For males, reproductive potential is almost limitless. Because of the female's greater investment in each child, she must be careful to select a mate who will help her in child rearing. The male must simply choose females who can bear children. In response to question 3, it follows that females should prefer to mate with older males, because they have more resources to help in child care. Males should prefer younger females because they are more likely to give birth. In response to question 4, females should select items a, c, and e, which concern resources, caring, and responsibility, whereas males should select items b, d, and f, which relate to sexual preoccupations. Females have the advantage of knowing that any child they bear is theirs. The male must determine that the female has really borne his child. Thus, in response to question 5, the maternal grandparents, assured of 25 percent genetic carryover, should be especially happy. The greater the investment in a child and the more likely that child is to reproduce, the greater the experienced negative emotion at death. Thus, in response to question 6, greater grief should be experienced by the mother, parents of the mother, and older parents (who are less likely to reproduce again); in response to question 7, grief is greatest for the death of a healthy male child.
