(McArthur & Cooper, 2017). However, humanistic psychology often eschews quantitative research methods, diverges considerably from the views in cognitive psychology, psychoanalysis and behaviorism, and has been occasionally perceived or portrayed of as too soft to be relevant to the social sciences (Wong, 2017). More recently, humanistic psychologists have gained ground in acquiring greater credibility for the contributions of their paradigm. In particular, humanistic psychology has a greater potential to offer multimodal interventions than other approaches to psychology, For example, psychological wellness is conceived of in a broad-minded manner encompassing multiple domains of life including the interpersonal, community, occupational, psychological, physical, and economic (Duff, Rubenstein & Prilleltensky, 2016). Because… Continue Reading...
ideas and technical vocabulary we encountered in this week's readings on learning acquisition and development in cognitive psychology, there are a few terms that are worth exploring in more depth or may be unfamiliar to some of my less educated peers. For example, Wiley & Dee (2011) use the term "mentalistic," which is not a commonly used word and is not even located in the Word dictionary. For example, the sentence they use is: "Mentalistic terms, such as belief and desire, were branded as superfluous and unscientific, and removed from accepted terminology," (Wiley & Dee, 2011, p. 3). The term evokes Houdini and mentalists who hypnotize… Continue Reading...
work to create optimal learning environments and conditions. Built on the premises of both cognitive psychology and the study of human development, these findings have tremendous implications for creating new pedagogies of diversity.
In terms of how these findings influence my past or current beliefs about knowledge development, I believe that the study simply substantiates what I already intuited. There are a number of different variables that impact learning, among them the social environment and norms in the classroom, the methods used by the teacher to communicate not just knowledge but modes of thinking and approaching problem solving, and also self-directed learning, motivation, and… Continue Reading...
are efficacious. Assimilation of the elements of MBSR together with cognitive behavioral therapy and cognitive psychology approaches gave rise to the formation of MBCT. Initially, the latter was referred to as Attentional Control Training and fundamentally lay emphasis on treating psychiatric disorder. In accordance to a study conducted by Xie et al. (2014), the overall improvements in mental health portrayed by people going through MBCT may emanate from different benefits associated to training. As a result, individuals with diagnoses for depression and anxiety can benefit from MBCT while undergoing rehabilitation for enabling longstanding maintenance of enhanced quality of life.

recording their efficacy. Integration of the latter initiative’s aspects and cognitive behavioral therapy and cognitive psychology strategies resulted in the former’s creation. At first, MBCT was labeled Attentional Control Training, concentrating chiefly on psychiatric disorder treatment. Xie and colleagues (2014) claim that the general psychological health improvements depicted by individuals undergoing MBCT may stem from various training-related advantages. Thus, anxiety and depression diagnosed individuals may profit from MBCT during rehab, for facilitating long-run maintenance of improved QOL (quality of life).
Being deployed to the battlefield is linked to an appreciable growth in fresh onset substance use disorder, PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder), chronic pain and… Continue Reading...
1940's; the theoretical contributions to the economics of information made by Anthony Downs; and certain ideas from modern cognitive psychology (9).[footnoteRef:1] [1: Samuel L. Popkin, The Reasoning Voter: Communication and Persuasion in Presidential Campaigns (Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 2008), p. 9.]
Essentially, Popkin states voters ask themselves: 'Based on personal information, what is the likelihood a political candidate will be the best choice?'. Using Down's theory concerning information shortcuts, voters use the information they see from the media and from the community to build their opinions and personal knowledge of a political candidate. If they see that for example, Trump is a successful businessman, they will then… Continue Reading...
