What is Psychology• Psychoylogy is the science which defines human
behavior and human cognitive functions scientifically.
• nimals also have !sychologies. " they thin# $dream etc%.
• &ehaviors are main to!ics.
• 'ow we lough $become angry or feel ha!!y.

Wundt Psychology
• ,ocused on !erce!tion of sensations$• ccording to him human !schology was one0s
conciousness about the surrounding.• (olour vision !erce!tion• 1actile !erce!tion• 1ime !erce!tion• 'e defined the method of İntrospection in which one
was feeling the events $than lived the events$ than ma#esome assum!tions about what he has done.
• 'e wor#ed on reaction time and related !erce!tions.'ealso calculated reaction time duration under differentcircumstances.

,reud Psychology
• 'e lived during 2345-2676$• 'e !ro!osed the theories of Psyhoanalytical !sychiatry$• İn this !syhoanalytical !sychiatry $,reud wor#ed mainly on
subconciousness$• ccording to him these subconcious material was
resulting in s!ecific human behaviors$• 'umans ego was in the need of continuos gratification
need.• 8e!ressed material to subconcious results in our
involuntary movementes $stammerings$ stutteringss!eeches and dreams• 'is theories mainly based on id- ego and su!erego
dynamics.

Watson Psychology
• ccording to him !sychology was human behaviors-• 'eredity does not have ade9uate effects on human
behaviors$
• 'uman behaviors are regulated by the environment.• 'ereditary characters and insincts were not so im!ortant• 1o him all behaviors must be fully measurable• 1est grou!s must be evaluated ob:ectively and their
evaluations must be considered with control grou!s.• Watson !sychology was named under ;&ehavioral
!sychology

dler Psychology
• 'is theories are mainly based on one0 su!eriority• 'is !ro!osals are that ego always wants to be su!erior
in the environment
• 1his feeling of su!eriority sometimes motivates thebehavior but sometimes if e+!ectations are to much $this can cause some disasters in one0s living
• )o e+!ectations must be in balance

/ung- ,romm !sychology
• /ung has !ostulated some theories on the collectivesubconcious.
• ll nations have collective motivations whether they livein merica or in frica or in sia
• 1hese motivations stem from one origin which is in thedee! !arts of the subconciousFromm postulates:• ,amily is im!ortant$• =ove and gratification is im!ortant$• (ourage are im!ortant motives so family interactiorns
are im!ortant.
