Psychology A Self Teaching Guide

心理學自我教學指導英語PDF

Psychology is the science that studies the behavior of organisms.

Three words in the definition merit special attention:

(1) science,

(2) behavior,

(3) organisms.

Modern psychology is considered a science because it bases its

conclusions on data, information obtained by systematic observations.

Psychology Behavior has three aspects:

(1) cognitive processes,

(2) emotional states

(3) actions.

An organism is any living creature. Consequently, the behavior of dogs, rats,

pigeons, and monkeys can be legitimately included in the study of psychology.

Such organisms have indeed been subjects in psychology experiments. However,

traditionally the principal focus of psychology has been humans. When animals

are used in experiments, the implicit goal is often to explore how such basic

processes as learning and motivation, as studied in animals, can cast a light on our

understanding of human behavior.
