- Origins of Psychology
- Wundt
- influence of psych being seen as a separate science
- experimental methods to study human behaviour
- Introspection
- Train ppl to observe own mental processes
- Controlled environment
- Introspection
- Co founded institute of experimental psychology (1879)
- Established first psychology lab
- University of Leipzig
- First Psych test book - principles of physiological psych (1874)
- Established first psychology lab
- Introspection
- The process
- 1. Show observes object + reflect on what they perceive
- 2. When they are watching a stimulus
- E.g. Ticking metronome
- 3. This gains insight to the nature of mental processes
- 4. Researches compare results to establish general theories
- 2. When they are watching a stimulus
- 1. Show observes object + reflect on what they perceive

- Process of gaining knowledge about mental + emotional state
- Observing ones inner world
- Evaluation
- Unreliability
- Non observed responses = bias + subective
- Results can not be replicated, difficult to establish general laws
- Non observed responses = bias + subective
- Validity
- Little knowledge of causes and processes underlying behaviour
- Nisbett and Wilson (1977)
- not accurate
- Little knowledge of causes and processes underlying behaviour
- Unreliability
- The process
- Emergence as a science
- 1. All behaviour is caused by something
- 2. Behaviour is caused.
- The scientific method
- Methods used to investigate human behaviour
- Objective
- Systematic
- Replicable
- Methods used to investigate human behaviour
- Evaluation
- Relaiblity
- Objective + Replicable = consistent + not bias
- Ecological Validity
- Conducted in a lab = reduced ecological validity
- Not Emprirical
- can all human behaviour be explained?
- Relaiblity
- 1. All behaviour is caused by something
- Wundt
