All these feelings are coupled with strong bodily feelings.]]> 2018-11-29 11:25:52 UTC https://padlet.com/joan_ruddock/4sgpgshffg8p/wish/309216464 https://padlet.com/joan_ruddock/4sgpgshffg8p/wish/309216509 'Ingenious experiments carried out at Yale University in the US used these measures to look at babies' minds. Their results suggest that even the youngest humans have a sense of right and wrong, and, furthermore, an instinct to prefer good over evil.' (Stalford, 2013).

When two chemicals react there is no question that they will do anything else than what is expected but when two humans meet they could agree with each other or disagree, compromise or fall out. However mental illnesses undermine validity of the idea of freewill for example OCD controlling actions. ]]> 2018-11-29 11:26:09 UTC https://padlet.com/joan_ruddock/4sgpgshffg8p/wish/309216531 What is Reductionism? https://padlet.com/joan_ruddock/4sgpgshffg8p/wish/309216866 Reductionism is the belief that human behavior can be explained by breaking it down into smaller component parts.
Reductionists say that the best way to understand why we behave as we do is to look closely at the very simplest parts that make up our systems, and use the simplest explanations to understand how they work.
It is based on the scientific assumption of parsimony - that complex phenomena should be explained by the simplest underlying principles possible. Strong supporters of reductionism believe that behavior and mental processes should be explained within the framework of basic sciences (e.g. physiology, chemistry.... ).

Psychologists who take an idiographic approach focus on the individual and emphasise the unique personal experience of human nature.( tutor2u, 2018) https://padlet.com/joan_ruddock/4sgpgshffg8p/wish/309217708 2018-11-29 11:30:34 UTC https://padlet.com/joan_ruddock/4sgpgshffg8p/wish/309217708 What is Holism? https://padlet.com/joan_ruddock/4sgpgshffg8p/wish/309217914 This refers to any approach that emphasises the whole rather than their constituent parts. 
A holistic approach suggests that there are different levels of explanation and that at each level there are “emergent properties” that cannot be reduced to the one below.

Examples of Holism in Psychology:

  • Humanistic psychology investigates all aspects of the individual as well as the interactions between people.

  • Social Psychology looks at the behavior of individuals in a social context. Group behavior (e.g. conformity, de-individualization) may show characteristics that are greater than the sum of the individuals which comprise it.


  • Psychoanalysis – Freud adopted an interactionist approach, in that he considered that behavior was the results of dynamic interaction between id, ego and superego.

  • Abnormal psychology – mental disorders are often explained by an interaction of biological, psychological and environmental factors. An eclectic approach to therapy is often taken using drugs and psychotherapy.

  • Perception – This is were the brain understands and interprets sensory information. Visual illusions show that humans perceive more than the sum of the sensations on the retina.
