Foundations of Psychology

When psychology first appeared as science, the process of interpreting human thought and human behavior began. In this article, we will briefly introduce what psychology is, introduce the main biological basis of psychology related to behavior, introduce the main thought schools in psychology. In the fifth edition of Kowalski and Westen psychology, psychology is defined as "scientific research of psychological processes such as thought, memory, emotion, behavior."

In the following papers we discuss the six main thinking methods in psychology, consider the foundations of psychology, and consider the assumptions, behaviorism, psychoanalysis / psycho-dynamics, humanism, and cognition that are the basis of them . Furthermore, it shows how the main biological rationale of psychology is related to behavior such as brain, central nervous system, peripheral nervous system, genetic / evolution. Behavioral Theory Behavioral psychology, also called behavioralism, is a learning theory based on the concept of action collection through conditions. The adjustment is made from the influence of the environment. Operation and classics are the two main types of adjustment. When a program called classical conditioning is a procedure used in behavioral training, natural stimuli are paired with responses. When someone receives compensation or punishment, it is called operational adjustment.

Because behaviorism derives from Ivan Pavlov's conditioning and builds the foundation of American academic psychology in relation to the names of John B Watson and BF Skinner, Abraham Maslow is called behaviorism. For the "second power". "First power" in history is a psychologist such as Sigmund Freud, Alfred Adler, Eric Ericsson, Carl John, Eric from, Kay. Lenhorni, Melanie Klein, Harry Stalisley and others. In the late 1930's, psychologists were interested in unique human problems such as self, self-realization, health, hope, love, creativity, nature, being, being, character, meaning, that is, a specific understanding of the existence of human beings It had. Including Abraham Maslow, Karl Rogers, and Clark Muscasas, they are interested in establishing a professional association dedicated to psychology, focusing on these characteristics of human capital needed for post industrial society I'm waiting.

This book takes advantage of the recent emergence of positive psychology and positive organizational behavior (POB). Its purpose is to introduce psychological capital, or personnel abilities not simply developed by PsyCap yet. This PsyCap must transcend the traditionally accepted human and social capital and meet the scientific standards of theory, research and effective measurement. In order to be included in PsyCap, to distinguish it from other structures in positive psychology and organizational behavior, the capacity of the resource must also be "state" and therefore must be open to development.
