A major object of study by behaviorists was learned behavior and its interaction with inborn qualities of the organism. Behaviorism commonly used animals in experiments under the assumption that what was learned using animal models could, to some degree, be applied to human behavior.

Two of the most well-known proponents of humanistic psychology are Abraham Maslow and Carl Rogers (O\u2019Hara, n.d.). Abraham Maslow (1908\u20131970) was an American psychologist who is best known for proposing a hierarchy of human needs in motivating behavior. Although this concept will be discussed in more detail in a later section, a brief overview will be provided here.\r\n\r\nMaslow asserted that so long as basic needs necessary for survival were met (e.g., food, water, shelter), higher-level needs (e.g., social needs) would begin to motivate behavior. According to Maslow, the highest-level needs relate to self-actualization, a process by which we achieve our full potential. Obviously, the focus on the positive aspects of human nature that are characteristic of the humanistic perspective is evident (Thorne &amp; Henley, 2005).\r\n\r\nHumanistic psychologists rejected, on principle, the research approach based on reductionist experimentation in the tradition of the physical and biological sciences, because it missed the \u201cwhole\u201d human being. Beginning with Maslow and Rogers, there was an insistence on a humanistic research program. This program has been largely qualitative (not measurement-based), but there exist a number of quantitative research strains within humanistic psychology, including research on happiness, self-concept, meditation, and the outcomes of humanistic psychotherapy (Friedman, 2008).\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"\" align=\"alignright\" width=\"300\"]<img class=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com\/courses-images-archive-read-only\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/902\/2015\/02\/23224433\/CNX_Psych_01_02_Maslow.jpg\" alt=\"Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs. At the bottom of the pyramid are physiological needs (food, water, shelter, warmth), then security needs (safety, employment, assets), social needs (family, friendship, intimacy, belonging), then esteem (self-worth, accomplishment, confidence), and lastly, self-actualization (inner fulfillment).\" width=\"300\" height=\"343\" \/> Figure 3.[\/caption]\r\n\r\nCarl Rogers (1902\u20131987) was also an American psychologist who, like Maslow, emphasized the potential for good that exists within all people. Rogers used a therapeutic technique known as client-centered therapy in helping his clients deal with problematic issues that resulted in their seeking psychotherapy. Unlike a psychoanalytic approach in which the therapist plays an important role in interpreting what conscious behavior reveals about the unconscious mind, client-centered therapy involves the patient taking a lead role in the therapy session. Rogers believed that a therapist needed to display three features to maximize the effectiveness of this particular approach: unconditional positive regard, genuineness, and empathy. Unconditional positive regard refers to the fact that the therapist accepts their client for who they are, no matter what he or she might say. Provided these factors, Rogers believed that people were more than capable of dealing with and working through their own issues (Thorne &amp; Henley, 2005).\r\n\r\nHumanism has been influential to psychology as a whole. Both Maslow and Rogers are well-known names among students of psychology (you will read more about both men later in this text), and their ideas have influenced many scholars. Furthermore, Rogers\u2019 client-centered approach to therapy is still commonly used in psychotherapeutic settings today (O\u2019hara, n.d.).\r\n<div class=\"textbox tryit\">\r\n<h3>Try It<\/h3>\r\nhttps:\/\/assessments.lumenlearning.com\/assessments\/2669\r\n\r\nhttps:\/\/assessments.lumenlearning.com\/assessments\/2670\r\n\r\nhttps:\/\/assessments.lumenlearning.com\/assessments\/2673\r\n\r\nhttps:\/\/assessments.lumenlearning.com\/assessments\/2671\r\n\r\nhttps:\/\/assessments.lumenlearning.com\/assessments\/2672\r\n\r\nhttps:\/\/assessments.lumenlearning.com\/assessments\/4049\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n<h2>The Cognitive Revolution<\/h2>\r\n<section>Behaviorism\u2019s emphasis on objectivity and focus on external behavior had pulled psychologists\u2019 attention away from the mind for a prolonged period of time. The early work of the humanistic psychologists redirected attention to the individual human as a whole, and as a conscious and self-aware being. By the 1950s, new disciplinary perspectives in linguistics, neuroscience, and computer science were emerging, and these areas revived interest in the mind as a focus of scientific inquiry. This particular perspective has come to be known as the cognitive revolution (Miller, 2003). By 1967, Ulric Neisser published the first textbook entitled <em>Cognitive Psychology<\/em>, which served as a core text in cognitive psychology courses around the country (Thorne &amp; Henley, 2005).Although no one person is entirely responsible for starting the cognitive revolution, Noam Chomsky was very influential in the early days of this movement. Chomsky (1928\u2013), an American linguist, was dissatisfied with the influence that behaviorism had had on psychology. He believed that psychology\u2019s focus on behavior was short-sighted and that the field had to re-incorporate mental functioning into its purview if it were to offer any meaningful contributions to understanding behavior (Miller, 2003).\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"\" align=\"alignright\" width=\"325\"]<img src=\"https:\/\/s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com\/courses-images-archive-read-only\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/902\/2015\/02\/23224437\/CNX_Psych_01_02_Chomsky.jpg\" alt=\"A photograph shows a mural on the side of a building.

(credit: Robert Moran)[\/caption]\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">European psychology had never really been as influenced by behaviorism as had American psychology; and thus, the cognitive revolution helped reestablish lines of communication between European psychologists and their American counterparts. Furthermore, psychologists began to cooperate with scientists in other fields, like anthropology, linguistics, computer science, and neuroscience, among others. This interdisciplinary approach often was referred to as the cognitive sciences, and the influence and prominence of this particular perspective resonates in modern-day psychology (Miller, 2003).<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left;\">Cognitive Psychology<\/h3>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Cognitive psychology is radically different from previous psychological approaches in that it is characterized by <em data-id=\"fusible_text_tag_m1gl61398\">both<\/em> of the following:<\/p>\r\n\r\n<ol style=\"text-align: left;\">\r\n \t<li>It accepts the use of the scientific method and generally rejects introspection as a valid method of investigation, unlike phenomenological methods such as Freudian psychoanalysis.<\/li>\r\n \t<li>It explicitly acknowledges the existence of internal mental states (such as belief, desire, and motivation), unlike behaviorist psychology.<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Cognitive theory contends that solutions to problems take the form of algorithms, heuristics, or insights. Major areas of research in cognitive psychology include perception, memory, categorization, knowledge representation, numerical cognition, language, and thinking.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<\/section>\r\n<div class=\"textbox tryit\">\r\n<h3>Try It<\/h3>\r\nhttps:\/\/assessments.lumenlearning.com\/assessments\/2674\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n<h2>Multicultural Psychology<\/h2>\r\n<p id=\"fs-idm171769824\">Culture has important impacts on individuals and social psychology, yet the effects of <span class=\"no-emphasis\" data-type=\"term\">culture<\/span> on psychology are under-studied. There is a risk that psychological theories and data derived from white, American settings could be assumed to apply to individuals and social groups from other cultures and this is unlikely to be true (Betancourt &amp; L\u00f3pez, 1993). One weakness in the field of cross-cultural psychology is that in looking for differences in psychological attributes across cultures, there remains a need to go beyond simple descriptive statistics (Betancourt &amp; L\u00f3pez, 1993). In this sense, it has remained a descriptive science, rather than one seeking to determine cause and effect. For example, a study of characteristics of individuals seeking treatment for a binge eating disorder in Hispanic American, African American, and Caucasian American individuals found significant differences between groups (Franko et al., 2012). The study concluded that results from studying any one of the groups could not be extended to the other groups, and yet potential causes of the differences were not measured.<\/p>\r\n<p id=\"fs-idm126171232\">This history of multicultural psychology in the United States is a long one. The role of African American psychologists in researching the cultural differences between African American individual and social psychology is but one example. In 1920, Cecil Sumner was the first African American to receive a PhD in psychology in the United States. Sumner established a psychology degree program at Howard University, leading to the education of a new generation of African American psychologists (Black, Spence, and Omari, 2004). Much of the work of early African American psychologists (and a general focus of much work in first half of the 20th century in psychology in the United States) was dedicated to testing and intelligence testing in particular (Black et al., 2004). That emphasis has continued, particularly because of the importance of testing in determining opportunities for children, but other areas of exploration in African-American psychology research include learning style, sense of community and belonging, and spiritualism (Black et al., 2004).<\/p>\r\n<p id=\"fs-idm80857312\">The American Psychological Association has several ethnically based organizations for professional psychologists that facilitate interactions among members. Since psychologists belonging to specific ethnic groups or cultures have the most interest in studying the psychology of their communities, these organizations provide an opportunity for the growth of research on the impact of culture on individual and social psychology.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<div class=\"textbox examples\">\r\n<h3>Link to Learning<\/h3>\r\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: left;\"><span class=\"s1\">Learn more about the history of psychology through\u00a0the following PsychSim Tutorial:<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: left;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/bcs.worthpublishers.com\/webpub\/Ektron\/Myers_Psychology%2010e\/PsychSim5_Tutorials\/Psychology_Timeline\/psychology_timeline.htm\" target=\"_blank\">Psychology's Timeline<\/a><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<h2>Summary of the History\u00a0of Psychology<\/h2>\r\n<p id=\"fs-idm127516896\">Before the time of Wundt and James, questions about the mind were considered by philosophers. However, both Wundt and James helped create psychology as a distinct scientific discipline. Wundt was a <em>structuralist<\/em>, which meant he believed that our cognitive experience was best understood by breaking that experience into its component parts. He thought this was best accomplished by introspection.<\/p>\r\n<p id=\"fs-idm69010720\">William James was the first American psychologist, and he was a proponent of <em>functionalism<\/em>. This particular perspective focused on how mental activities served as adaptive responses to an organism\u2019s environment. Like Wundt, James also relied on introspection; however, his research approach also incorporated more objective measures as well.<\/p>\r\n<p id=\"fs-idm71138000\">Sigmund Freud believed that understanding the unconscious mind was absolutely critical to understand conscious behavior. This was especially true for individuals that he saw who suffered from various hysterias and neuroses. Freud relied on dream analysis, slips of the tongue, and free association as means to access the unconscious. Psychoanalytic theory remained a dominant force in clinical psychology for several decades.<\/p>\r\n<p id=\"fs-idp10521856\">Gestalt psychology was very influential in Europe. Gestalt psychology takes a holistic view of an individual and his experiences. As the Nazis came to power in Germany, Wertheimer, Koffka, and K\u00f6hler immigrated to the United States. Although they left their laboratories and their research behind, they did introduce America to Gestalt ideas. Some of the principles of Gestalt psychology are still very influential in the study of sensation and perception.<\/p>\r\n<p id=\"fs-idm30223728\">One of the most influential schools of thought within psychology\u2019s history was behaviorism. Behaviorism focused on making psychology an objective science by studying overt behavior and deemphasizing the importance of unobservable mental processes. John Watson is often considered the father of behaviorism, and B. F. Skinner\u2019s contributions to our understanding of principles of operant conditioning cannot be underestimated.<\/p>\r\n<p id=\"fs-idm65457616\">As behaviorism and psychoanalytic theory took hold of so many aspects of psychology, some began to become dissatisfied with psychology\u2019s picture of human nature. Thus, a humanistic movement within psychology began to take hold. Humanism focuses on the potential of all people for good. Both Maslow and Rogers were influential in shaping humanistic psychology.<\/p>\r\n<p id=\"fs-idm89388736\">During the 1950s, the landscape of psychology began to change. A science of behavior began to shift back to its roots of focus on mental processes. The emergence of neuroscience and computer science aided this transition. Ultimately, the cognitive revolution took hold, and people came to realize that cognition was crucial to a true appreciation and understanding of behavior.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<section>\r\n<table class=\"wbtable \" title=\"Early Schools of Psychology: Still Active and Advanced Beyond Early Ideas\" cellspacing=\"0\"><caption>Early Schools of Psychology: Still Active and Advanced Beyond Early Ideas<\/caption>\r\n<thead>\r\n<tr>\r\n<th>School of Psychology<\/th>\r\n<th>Description<\/th>\r\n<th>Earliest Period<\/th>\r\n<th>Historically Important People<\/th>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<\/thead>\r\n<tbody>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td>Psychodynamic Psychology<\/td>\r\n<td>Focuses\u00a0on the role of the unconscious and childhood experiences in affecting conscious behavior.<\/td>\r\n<td>Very late 19th to Early 20th Century<\/td>\r\n<td>Sigmund Freud, Erik Erikson<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr class=\"e\">\r\n<td>Behaviorism<\/td>\r\n<td>Focuses on observing and controlling behavior through what is observable.

Thus, humanism emerged.<\/section>\n<section>\n<div class=\"textbox tryit\">\n<h3>Try It<\/h3>\n<p>\t<iframe id=\"lumen_assessment_2666\" class=\"resizable\" src=\"https:\/\/assessments.lumenlearning.com\/assessments\/load?assessment_id=2666&#38;embed=1&#38;external_user_id=&#38;external_context_id=&#38;iframe_resize_id=lumen_assessment_2666\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"border:none;width:100%;height:100%;min-height:400px;\"><br \/>\n\t<\/iframe><br \/>\n\t<iframe id=\"lumen_assessment_2667\" class=\"resizable\" src=\"https:\/\/assessments.lumenlearning.com\/assessments\/load?assessment_id=2667&#38;embed=1&#38;external_user_id=&#38;external_context_id=&#38;iframe_resize_id=lumen_assessment_2667\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"border:none;width:100%;height:100%;min-height:400px;\"><br \/>\n\t<\/iframe><br \/>\n\t<iframe id=\"lumen_assessment_2668\" class=\"resizable\" src=\"https:\/\/assessments.lumenlearning.com\/assessments\/load?assessment_id=2668&#38;embed=1&#38;external_user_id=&#38;external_context_id=&#38;iframe_resize_id=lumen_assessment_2668\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"border:none;width:100%;height:100%;min-height:400px;\"><br \/>\n\t<\/iframe><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section><\/section>\n<section><\/section>\n<section><\/section>\n<h2>Maslow, Rogers, and Humanism<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Humanism<\/strong> is a perspective within psychology that emphasizes the potential for good that is innate to all humans. Two of the most well-known proponents of humanistic psychology are Abraham Maslow and Carl Rogers (O\u2019Hara, n.d.). Abraham Maslow (1908\u20131970) was an American psychologist who is best known for proposing a hierarchy of human needs in motivating behavior. Although this concept will be discussed in more detail in a later section, a brief overview will be provided here.<\/p>\n<p>Maslow asserted that so long as basic needs necessary for survival were met (e.g., food, water, shelter), higher-level needs (e.g., social needs) would begin to motivate behavior. According to Maslow, the highest-level needs relate to self-actualization, a process by which we achieve our full potential. Obviously, the focus on the positive aspects of human nature that are characteristic of the humanistic perspective is evident (Thorne &amp; Henley, 2005).<\/p>\n<p>Humanistic psychologists rejected, on principle, the research approach based on reductionist experimentation in the tradition of the physical and biological sciences, because it missed the \u201cwhole\u201d human being. Beginning with Maslow and Rogers, there was an insistence on a humanistic research program. This program has been largely qualitative (not measurement-based), but there exist a number of quantitative research strains within humanistic psychology, including research on happiness, self-concept, meditation, and the outcomes of humanistic psychotherapy (Friedman, 2008).<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com\/courses-images-archive-read-only\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/902\/2015\/02\/23224433\/CNX_Psych_01_02_Maslow.jpg\" alt=\"Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs. At the bottom of the pyramid are physiological needs (food, water, shelter, warmth), then security needs (safety, employment, assets), social needs (family, friendship, intimacy, belonging), then esteem (self-worth, accomplishment, confidence), and lastly, self-actualization (inner fulfillment).\" width=\"300\" height=\"343\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Figure 3.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Carl Rogers (1902\u20131987) was also an American psychologist who, like Maslow, emphasized the potential for good that exists within all people. Rogers used a therapeutic technique known as client-centered therapy in helping his clients deal with problematic issues that resulted in their seeking psychotherapy. Unlike a psychoanalytic approach in which the therapist plays an important role in interpreting what conscious behavior reveals about the unconscious mind, client-centered therapy involves the patient taking a lead role in the therapy session. Rogers believed that a therapist needed to display three features to maximize the effectiveness of this particular approach: unconditional positive regard, genuineness, and empathy. Unconditional positive regard refers to the fact that the therapist accepts their client for who they are, no matter what he or she might say. Provided these factors, Rogers believed that people were more than capable of dealing with and working through their own issues (Thorne &amp; Henley, 2005).<\/p>\n<p>Humanism has been influential to psychology as a whole. Both Maslow and Rogers are well-known names among students of psychology (you will read more about both men later in this text), and their ideas have influenced many scholars. Furthermore, Rogers\u2019 client-centered approach to therapy is still commonly used in psychotherapeutic settings today (O\u2019hara, n.d.).<\/p>\n<div class=\"textbox tryit\">\n<h3>Try It<\/h3>\n<p>\t<iframe id=\"lumen_assessment_2669\" class=\"resizable\" src=\"https:\/\/assessments.lumenlearning.com\/assessments\/load?assessment_id=2669&#38;embed=1&#38;external_user_id=&#38;external_context_id=&#38;iframe_resize_id=lumen_assessment_2669\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"border:none;width:100%;height:100%;min-height:400px;\"><br \/>\n\t<\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>\t<iframe id=\"lumen_assessment_2670\" class=\"resizable\" src=\"https:\/\/assessments.lumenlearning.com\/assessments\/load?assessment_id=2670&#38;embed=1&#38;external_user_id=&#38;external_context_id=&#38;iframe_resize_id=lumen_assessment_2670\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"border:none;width:100%;height:100%;min-height:400px;\"><br \/>\n\t<\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>\t<iframe id=\"lumen_assessment_2673\" class=\"resizable\" src=\"https:\/\/assessments.lumenlearning.com\/assessments\/load?assessment_id=2673&#38;embed=1&#38;external_user_id=&#38;external_context_id=&#38;iframe_resize_id=lumen_assessment_2673\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"border:none;width:100%;height:100%;min-height:400px;\"><br \/>\n\t<\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>\t<iframe id=\"lumen_assessment_2671\" class=\"resizable\" src=\"https:\/\/assessments.lumenlearning.com\/assessments\/load?assessment_id=2671&#38;embed=1&#38;external_user_id=&#38;external_context_id=&#38;iframe_resize_id=lumen_assessment_2671\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"border:none;width:100%;height:100%;min-height:400px;\"><br \/>\n\t<\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>\t<iframe id=\"lumen_assessment_2672\" class=\"resizable\" src=\"https:\/\/assessments.lumenlearning.com\/assessments\/load?assessment_id=2672&#38;embed=1&#38;external_user_id=&#38;external_context_id=&#38;iframe_resize_id=lumen_assessment_2672\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"border:none;width:100%;height:100%;min-height:400px;\"><br \/>\n\t<\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>\t<iframe id=\"lumen_assessment_4049\" class=\"resizable\" src=\"https:\/\/assessments.lumenlearning.com\/assessments\/load?assessment_id=4049&#38;embed=1&#38;external_user_id=&#38;external_context_id=&#38;iframe_resize_id=lumen_assessment_4049\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"border:none;width:100%;height:100%;min-height:400px;\"><br \/>\n\t<\/iframe><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2>The Cognitive Revolution<\/h2>\n<section>Behaviorism\u2019s emphasis on objectivity and focus on external behavior had pulled psychologists\u2019 attention away from the mind for a prolonged period of time. The early work of the humanistic psychologists redirected attention to the individual human as a whole, and as a conscious and self-aware being. By the 1950s, new disciplinary perspectives in linguistics, neuroscience, and computer science were emerging, and these areas revived interest in the mind as a focus of scientific inquiry. This particular perspective has come to be known as the cognitive revolution (Miller, 2003). By 1967, Ulric Neisser published the first textbook entitled <em>Cognitive Psychology<\/em>, which served as a core text in cognitive psychology courses around the country (Thorne &amp; Henley, 2005).Although no one person is entirely responsible for starting the cognitive revolution, Noam Chomsky was very influential in the early days of this movement. Chomsky (1928\u2013), an American linguist, was dissatisfied with the influence that behaviorism had had on psychology. He believed that psychology\u2019s focus on behavior was short-sighted and that the field had to re-incorporate mental functioning into its purview if it were to offer any meaningful contributions to understanding behavior (Miller, 2003).<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 335px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com\/courses-images-archive-read-only\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/902\/2015\/02\/23224437\/CNX_Psych_01_02_Chomsky.jpg\" alt=\"A photograph shows a mural on the side of a building.

(credit: Robert Moran)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">European psychology had never really been as influenced by behaviorism as had American psychology; and thus, the cognitive revolution helped reestablish lines of communication between European psychologists and their American counterparts. Furthermore, psychologists began to cooperate with scientists in other fields, like anthropology, linguistics, computer science, and neuroscience, among others. This interdisciplinary approach often was referred to as the cognitive sciences, and the influence and prominence of this particular perspective resonates in modern-day psychology (Miller, 2003).<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left;\">Cognitive Psychology<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Cognitive psychology is radically different from previous psychological approaches in that it is characterized by <em data-id=\"fusible_text_tag_m1gl61398\">both<\/em> of the following:<\/p>\n<ol style=\"text-align: left;\">\n<li>It accepts the use of the scientific method and generally rejects introspection as a valid method of investigation, unlike phenomenological methods such as Freudian psychoanalysis.<\/li>\n<li>It explicitly acknowledges the existence of internal mental states (such as belief, desire, and motivation), unlike behaviorist psychology.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Cognitive theory contends that solutions to problems take the form of algorithms, heuristics, or insights. Major areas of research in cognitive psychology include perception, memory, categorization, knowledge representation, numerical cognition, language, and thinking.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<div class=\"textbox tryit\">\n<h3>Try It<\/h3>\n<p>\t<iframe id=\"lumen_assessment_2674\" class=\"resizable\" src=\"https:\/\/assessments.lumenlearning.com\/assessments\/load?assessment_id=2674&#38;embed=1&#38;external_user_id=&#38;external_context_id=&#38;iframe_resize_id=lumen_assessment_2674\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"border:none;width:100%;height:100%;min-height:400px;\"><br \/>\n\t<\/iframe><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2>Multicultural Psychology<\/h2>\n<p id=\"fs-idm171769824\">Culture has important impacts on individuals and social psychology, yet the effects of <span class=\"no-emphasis\" data-type=\"term\">culture<\/span> on psychology are under-studied. There is a risk that psychological theories and data derived from white, American settings could be assumed to apply to individuals and social groups from other cultures and this is unlikely to be true (Betancourt &amp; L\u00f3pez, 1993). One weakness in the field of cross-cultural psychology is that in looking for differences in psychological attributes across cultures, there remains a need to go beyond simple descriptive statistics (Betancourt &amp; L\u00f3pez, 1993). In this sense, it has remained a descriptive science, rather than one seeking to determine cause and effect. For example, a study of characteristics of individuals seeking treatment for a binge eating disorder in Hispanic American, African American, and Caucasian American individuals found significant differences between groups (Franko et al., 2012). The study concluded that results from studying any one of the groups could not be extended to the other groups, and yet potential causes of the differences were not measured.<\/p>\n<p id=\"fs-idm126171232\">This history of multicultural psychology in the United States is a long one. The role of African American psychologists in researching the cultural differences between African American individual and social psychology is but one example. In 1920, Cecil Sumner was the first African American to receive a PhD in psychology in the United States. Sumner established a psychology degree program at Howard University, leading to the education of a new generation of African American psychologists (Black, Spence, and Omari, 2004). Much of the work of early African American psychologists (and a general focus of much work in first half of the 20th century in psychology in the United States) was dedicated to testing and intelligence testing in particular (Black et al., 2004). That emphasis has continued, particularly because of the importance of testing in determining opportunities for children, but other areas of exploration in African-American psychology research include learning style, sense of community and belonging, and spiritualism (Black et al., 2004).<\/p>\n<p id=\"fs-idm80857312\">The American Psychological Association has several ethnically based organizations for professional psychologists that facilitate interactions among members. Since psychologists belonging to specific ethnic groups or cultures have the most interest in studying the psychology of their communities, these organizations provide an opportunity for the growth of research on the impact of culture on individual and social psychology.<\/p>\n<div class=\"textbox examples\">\n<h3>Link to Learning<\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: left;\"><span class=\"s1\">Learn more about the history of psychology through\u00a0the following PsychSim Tutorial:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: left;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/bcs.worthpublishers.com\/webpub\/Ektron\/Myers_Psychology%2010e\/PsychSim5_Tutorials\/Psychology_Timeline\/psychology_timeline.htm\" target=\"_blank\">Psychology&#8217;s Timeline<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<h2>Summary of the History\u00a0of Psychology<\/h2>\n<p id=\"fs-idm127516896\">Before the time of Wundt and James, questions about the mind were considered by philosophers. However, both Wundt and James helped create psychology as a distinct scientific discipline. Wundt was a <em>structuralist<\/em>, which meant he believed that our cognitive experience was best understood by breaking that experience into its component parts. He thought this was best accomplished by introspection.<\/p>\n<p id=\"fs-idm69010720\">William James was the first American psychologist, and he was a proponent of <em>functionalism<\/em>. This particular perspective focused on how mental activities served as adaptive responses to an organism\u2019s environment. Like Wundt, James also relied on introspection; however, his research approach also incorporated more objective measures as well.<\/p>\n<p id=\"fs-idm71138000\">Sigmund Freud believed that understanding the unconscious mind was absolutely critical to understand conscious behavior. This was especially true for individuals that he saw who suffered from various hysterias and neuroses. Freud relied on dream analysis, slips of the tongue, and free association as means to access the unconscious. Psychoanalytic theory remained a dominant force in clinical psychology for several decades.<\/p>\n<p id=\"fs-idp10521856\">Gestalt psychology was very influential in Europe. Gestalt psychology takes a holistic view of an individual and his experiences. As the Nazis came to power in Germany, Wertheimer, Koffka, and K\u00f6hler immigrated to the United States. Although they left their laboratories and their research behind, they did introduce America to Gestalt ideas. Some of the principles of Gestalt psychology are still very influential in the study of sensation and perception.<\/p>\n<p id=\"fs-idm30223728\">One of the most influential schools of thought within psychology\u2019s history was behaviorism. Behaviorism focused on making psychology an objective science by studying overt behavior and deemphasizing the importance of unobservable mental processes. John Watson is often considered the father of behaviorism, and B. F. Skinner\u2019s contributions to our understanding of principles of operant conditioning cannot be underestimated.<\/p>\n<p id=\"fs-idm65457616\">As behaviorism and psychoanalytic theory took hold of so many aspects of psychology, some began to become dissatisfied with psychology\u2019s picture of human nature. Thus, a humanistic movement within psychology began to take hold. Humanism focuses on the potential of all people for good. Both Maslow and Rogers were influential in shaping humanistic psychology.<\/p>\n<p id=\"fs-idm89388736\">During the 1950s, the landscape of psychology began to change. A science of behavior began to shift back to its roots of focus on mental processes. The emergence of neuroscience and computer science aided this transition. Ultimately, the cognitive revolution took hold, and people came to realize that cognition was crucial to a true appreciation and understanding of behavior.<\/p>\n<section>\n<table class=\"wbtable\" title=\"Early Schools of Psychology: Still Active and Advanced Beyond Early Ideas\" style=\"border-spacing: 0px;\">\n<caption>Early Schools of Psychology: Still Active and Advanced Beyond Early Ideas<\/caption>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>School of Psychology<\/th>\n<th>Description<\/th>\n<th>Earliest Period<\/th>\n<th>Historically Important People<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Psychodynamic Psychology<\/td>\n<td>Focuses\u00a0on the role of the unconscious and childhood experiences in affecting conscious behavior.<\/td>\n<td>Very late 19th to Early 20th Century<\/td>\n<td>Sigmund Freud, Erik Erikson<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"e\">\n<td>Behaviorism<\/td>\n<td>Focuses on observing and controlling behavior through what is observable.
