Discuss psychology as a systematic study of human behaviour?
Answers:
hang on it took me three years to do that essay and pass
people spend three years doing that as a degree!!
this could be the topic of the worlds longest book!
psychology is not just the study of behaviour but also the causes of behaviour such as drugs and brain disorders.
specify your question and I could help you, I am studying a psychology degree
do your own damn homework. I got thru school already!
Read the definition from a textbook and use your judgment. People will only write what the read from a school book or from notes.
Psychological research uses the scientific method to learn about the science of human behavior.
Psychological research involves studies that are replicable and take variation into account using mathematic principles.
Psychological research exists on the premise that theories should be based on such research and that any conclusions should be able to be proven false. (You can't prove something to be right, but you can prove it to be wrong.)
Psychology suggests correlations rather than absolute explanations. Ideally, this means that there are no assumptions of cause and effect. Example: A high correlation exists between two variables, say, the rate of the usage of birth control and the amount of electrical appliances in the home. We can't infer that electrical appliances submit waves that make us use birth control. In reality, the richer you are, the more appliances you have. And the higher your socioeconomic status, the more likely you are to use birth control. Another example is that as the number of umbrellas on a beach increases, ice cream sales decline.
In other words, it is a science, a systematic study. Current research builds upon previous research. Psychologists seek to prove other research to be false, so that we can either verify or disprove existing findings.
Psychology (human behavior) and statistic (systematic) are good friends ;)
Can't do. It's full of holes. As they don't know what combinations of neurotransmitters produce which emotions how the friggin heck are they supposed to know what variables they're dealing with?
I'm no good at maths though . but someone told me in an answer once that they think the brain works on the principles of deterministic chaos. Systematically that would take you into physics, I think .
