P… and d…?

Answer 27

1. Predictability

Question 28

The scientific method refers to the use of investigative methods that are objective, systematic and replicable.
What are the steps of the scientific method?

Answer 28

The steps of the scientific method are:

1. Step 1 = Ask a question
2. Step 2 = State a hypothesis
3. Step 3 = Conduct an experiment
4. Step 4 = Analyse the results
5. Step 5 = Make a conclusion

Question 29

Evaluation of introspection:
Strengths:
1. Despite all the criticisms made of introspection, psychologists often use it alongside other more scientific methods to investigate people’s thought processes.
Griffiths, for example, used it to assess the irrational thoughts and perception of skill of regular gamblers, asking them to think aloud whilst gambling and say everything that came into their mind.
Introspection here provided useful insights into their behaviour.

Weaknesses:
As noted by Wundt and other scientists, introspection had significant limitations.
Key critics were behaviourist psychologists, such as Pavlov and Watson.

1. Introspection was an unreliable method of investigation.
   Different participants often provided very different introspective reports about the same stimulus.
   Even subjects well trained in introspection varied in their responses to the same stimulus from trial to trial, making introspection not very useful.
   In contrast, early behaviourists such as Pavlov were already achieving reliable and reproducible results in experiments on animal behaviour that could be generalised to human beings.
2. Introspection could not be used to study children or animals, due to children’s limited vocabulary and inability to express their feelings appropriately.
   In addition, the thoughts of animals cannot be studied.
   Again, behaviourists have the upper hand over introspection here, in focusing only on behaviour that can be observed.
3. Complex topics such as learning, development, mental disorders and personality could not be investigated using introspection.
   This seriously questions the validity and use of inspection as a method for investigating human behaviour and experience, because it is subjective - only an individual can report his/her own mental processes.
   For Watson, the only way to make psychology a science was to emulate natural sciences and to adopt its own objective methods.

Wilhelm Wundt opened the Institute for Experimental Psychology at the University of Leipzig in Germany in 1879.
This was the first laboratory dedicated to psychology and its opening is usually thought of as the beginning of modern psychology.
Wundt was important, because he separated psychology from philosophy by analysing the workings of the mind in a more structured way, with the emphasis being on objective measurement and control.
Wundt wanted to study the structure of the mind (using introspection).
Wundt believed in reductionism, that consciousness could be broken down (or reduced) to its basic elements without sacrificing any of the properties of the whole.
Wundt argued that conscious mental states could be scientifically studied using introspection.
Wundt’s introspection was a highly practiced form of self-examination.
He trained psychology students to make observations that were biased by personal interpretation or previous experience and used the results to develop a theory of conscious thought.
Wundt studied reaction times, sensory processes and attention.
