Structuralism vs FunctionalismCherese Pratt: 320034940PSYC 3056Course Instructor: Gloria Walters
Today I would like to assign the task of looking up and writing a report on Structuralism vs Functionalism.
Diapositiva: 2
I have looked at every book in here and I just don't see the information I need.
Well my understanding from what I checked out, in the APA Dictionary of Psychology, is that Functionalism is a response to Structuralism. It focuses on the causes and consequences of human behavior; the union of the physiological with the psychological; the need for objective testing of theories; and the applications of psychological knowledge to the solution of practical problems, the evolutionary continuity between animals and humans, and the improvement of human life.
So if Functionalism is the response then what exactly is Structuralism really?
Diapositiva: 3
The APA dictionary says structuralism defined psychology as the study of mental experience and sought to investigate the structure of such experience through a systematic program of experiments based on trained introspection.
So Structuralism focuses on introspective structure of thought and Functionalism focuses on why things are the way they are!
With this information this assignment should be easy!
