Скачать или смотреть Unit 0: AP Psychology-- The 8 Perspectives of Psychology

This educational material introduces psychological perspectives as distinct frameworks for understanding human behavior and mental processes. It defines psychology as "the scientific study of mental processes and behavior" and then outlines eight major perspectives: Psychodynamic, Behaviorism, Humanistic, Cognitive, Biological, Evolutionary, Sociocultural, and Biopsychosocial. Each perspective offers a unique lens, such as the Psychodynamic focus on unconscious drives and childhood experiences, or the Cognitive emphasis on internal mental processes like thinking and memory. The video uses scenarios to illustrate how each perspective would explain various challenges, highlighting their practical application in analyzing and addressing complex human actions and emotions.
