Psychology

 

For this writing assignment, you will need to look back at the history of psychology and then forward to contemporary approaches to psychology.

In your own words, give a brief overview of the history and the contemporary perspectives of psychology by providing answers to the following three questions:

• What is psychology?  How is it defined?
• What roles did philosophy and physiology play in the development of psychology as a science?
• List and describe the seven contemporary approaches to psychology outlined in the textbook.  Be sure to address how each perspective differs in emphasis and approach.

Use the textbook for this assignment and make sure your answers are in your own words. DO NOT COPY INTERNET SOURCES (WIKIPEDIA, COURSE HERO,  AND OTHERS).  THIS NEEDS TO BE YOUR OWN WORK.  THE TURNITIN FEATURE IN CANVAS IS ENABLED TO DETECT PLAGIARISM.
