    QUICK NOTE - typo on the timeline at the end (it should say Wilhelm Wundt 1879 as stated earlier in the video, NOT 1897)! Check out the video on COGNITIVE PSYCHOLOGY here: ua-cam.com/video/NQSU6tAqvOA/v-deo.html

      Would the timeline not include all the other approaches like the psychodynamic, SLT and humanistic approach?

      @@roarwoof8816 Good question - the timeline is just trying to give you an overview of the progression of psychology as a science. The psychodynamic and humanistic approaches are non-scientific and are therefore not applicable. SLT overlaps with Behaviourism as both classed as Learning theories and adopt scientific methodology. Hope that helps :)

I have my first Psych test today, and out of all the videos I’ve watched that cover the first chapter of my textbook, this video has clarified it the best for me. The concept check questions are also very helpful! I’m actually feeling pretty confident about my test now, thanks again!! 😊😊

    Introspection is still something we rely on everyday. For example, when we trust eyewitness accounts. We take it for granted that subjectivity has sub-par truth value, but clearly we're not consistent in applying this belief
    So, given someone is not intentionally lying to you, why exactly might a subjective account be worse? Are there more cases than the one I mentioned in which it isn't?

    • @BearitinMIND
      @BearitinMIND  11 місяців тому +1

      Thanks for your thoughts, and agree with you that subjectivity certainly has value. I think the point made by others about the issue with subjectivity relates to the scientific process. The scientific process requires measurements and data to be as objective as possible because this way they can be checked and verified.
      If I'm understanding your example correctly, with eyewitness testimony, one eye witness to a crime is often not strong evidence because whilst it is subjective (and not necessarily any less true) scientists stress the need to verify and check that what they said is true. In other words, how would we know whether they are lying or not? Or giving socially desirable answers?
      However, it TWO independent eyewitnesses report the same thing, then this helps to verify what they said - we can check the reliability of their reports.
      In Wundt's case it is relying on the individual to report what was going on in their mind - but how do we know if this is true? How do we know that they even know what is going on in their head? There are many cases where eyewitnesses to crimes have reported what they saw honestly and truthfully as they understood it - but it turned out they actually completely wrong in their descriptions of what happened! Subjective reports - but they need verifying.
      Like I said, I hope I've understood where you were coming from and what I've said above makes sense - let me know if not, and also if you have more thoughts on the matter that I haven't thought about 👍

    Indeed, Wundt´s introspection is not statistic-friendly, because the act of therapeutic reflection is a way of self development and self-psychotherapy. Putting that practice into the lab doesnt make any real sense.
    It is highly subjective and relative because all human beings are like that, and thats why psychotherapy is also an artform full of subleties in language and relationship between the patient and the therapist, no matter what the school of thinking.

    • @BearitinMIND
      @BearitinMIND  2 роки тому +1

      Andres - thanks for the comment, and your further analysis from a statistical basis alongside psychotherapy. Always interesting to consider the tension between psychology's efforts to be scientific and in the subjective, idiographic applications in such therapies.

      @detodounpoco37 2 роки тому +1

      ​@@BearitinMIND I personally cant consider psychotherapy a statistical science at all. Social Psychology and similar ones can benefit from those efforts, but human beings are subjective in nature.
      I can consider psychotherapy as powerful artistic science that finds results in the liveness of the session.
      Who cares if ABC is 50% better than BDE?
      That doesnt say anything truly relevant.
      Psychotherapy teaches us that knowledge is great, but it is nothing without human connection, empathy and professional compassion
