Humanism A03 Flashcards
what are the three A03 PEELS for the humanism approach
strength - holistic
strength - prac. apps
strength - free will
P
(holism)
strength - it takes a holistic approach to explaining bhv
E
As it takes into account how a persons subjective experience would infleunce + exp bhv.
E
Whereas reductionist approaches such as bhvsm reduces complex human bhv down to a consequence of S, R and A.
L
Therefore h is seen as a more valid way of und and exp human bhv in a rl context compared to reductionist exps.
P
(Prac apps)
Strength - prac apps
E
Coz POT, that indv have f.w to choose bhv has improved counselling techniques and led to PCT treatment.
E
Used to treat abnm in real world e.g dep by helping indv to achieve self congruence + self actualise
L
Therefore the humanist exp is a.i.p.o.a.p as it helps to treat ppl in the real world.
P
(Free will)
Strength - humanism is a more pos approach as it argues for f.w.
E
as it says indv can choose bhv + neglect int and ext influences.
e.g an indv choices in life affect whether they self actualise or not.
E
whereas deterministic appr like bio saying bhv is controlled by int influences like genes.
L
Therefore h is seen as a more pos approach to und human bhv
what is the structure for a 16 marker
assumption - all bhv is due to free will, humans can determine their own bhv
feature 1 - define the two selfs. perceived self comes from our own experiences + how significant ppl view us ( real self + ideal self match = congruence, personal growth is achieved) (if there is a mismatch = incongruence, low self worth + poor psychological health)
feature 2 - define conditions of worth ( significant other place specific conditions on their love which must be met to receive approval + achieve congruence, be happy) (if a person has low self esteem + worthless in adulthood, its a consequence of conditions of worth in childhood). can be helped with counselling to make match more achievable
A03
PRAC APPS - POT - free will to choose bhv - PCT - treats abnm, dep - helps achieve cong + self act - i.p.o.a.p
FREE WILL - positive appr - argues for f.w - choose bhv + neglect int and ext inf - choices like if u self actu - thfr more pos than det apprs, bio (bhv - genes)
HOLISM - considers persons subjective exp + how bhv is inf and exp - but reduc appr like bhvsm reduce to s,r and a - humanism is more valid than reduc appr to und and exp human bhv in rl
