discuss psychology as a systematic study of human behaviour?

Answer 1

hang on it took me three years to do that essay and pass

Answer 2

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.

Answer 3

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 ...

Answer 4

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

Answer 5

"Our" vision obviously differs from that of the original intent. I like the original intent better, which was to ask questions and respectfully share knowledge. This site has turned into a war zone with insults, disrespect, attacking and accusing being so rampant that it's really hard for Pastor G and me to share what we know and believe and to listen to but not necessarily agree with what others know and believe. With respect to atheists, if they had genuine questions (and some do) instead of mostly smug, superior mocking attitudes, it would be a pleasure to be here.

Answer 6

Psychology (human behavior) and statistic (systematic) are good friends ;)

Answer 7

Read the definition from a textbook and use your judgment. People will only write what the read from a school book or from notes.

Answer 8

do your own damn homework. I got thru school already!
