Summaries and study services for Psychology Bachelor 1 at the University of Groningen - Year 2022/2023 Summary for Psychological Science by Gazzaniga: 5th international student edition
The aim of contemporary psychology is to understand mental activity and behaviour in humans. A psychologist tries to understand and predict the mental activity and behaviour and he looks at how people are being influenced by individual, social and biological factors. People are intuitive psychologists who try to understand and predict the behaviour of others, however, conclusions drawn based on intuition are often wrong. The science of psychology refers to research on the mind, the brain and behaviour. Mind is the mental activity, such a thoughts, feelings and perceptions. For example, when you are smelling fresh baked cookies you might think about times when you were a child helping your mother baking cookies. Mental activity is the result of biological (chemical) processes within the brain. The association between mind and brain has been discussed for years. Behaviour refers to observable actions in which humans and animals can engage. For a long time, behaviour was seen as the only objective measurement of the mind. The purpose of psychology is to understand mental activity, how people react differently to social situations and how to teach people healthy and unhealthy behaviours.
One of the aims of this textbook is to learn to think more critically. A critical attitude is required towards all kinds of information, especially information that seems logical. Scientists have to learn to be sceptical. Critical thinking involves systematic questioning and evaluation of the information at hand. It is important to ask critical questions and not to take information for granted. Often seemingly logical explanations are used for certain phenomena, for

This lecture can be reviewed additionally to chapter 1
This lecture describes what it means to be a psychological scientist, a brief history of psychology, as well as current issues in psychology.
Psychology branches out far beyond the clinical realm. In fact, what people often forget is that psychologists are scientists. Psychology, therefore, is the study of behaviour, the mechanisms behind it, and, if necessary, how to change it. This includes long-term and short-term behaviours, as well as the physiology behind them, particularly the physiology of the brain.
Science is the process of discovering new things in or about the world around us. Psychologists use the scientific method to form theories about behaviour:
By observing and researching about the world, psychologists are able to come up questions about behaviour.
Using these questions, hypotheses are formed.
These hypotheses are tested through experimentation or field observation
Conclusions about the hypotheses are drawn
It is important to note that this lecture talks about Western philosophy and science (based on dualism), rather than Eastern (monistic) philosophy and science. Psychology, as a science, is empirical, which means that it is about things that you observe, either directly or indirectly. While many things can be observed directly, a large part of psychology is about things that are only indirectly observed.
Psychology bridges the gap between the natural sciences and the humanities. While it can include many other disciplines, such as law, medicine, theology, mathematics, and physics, psychology is ultimately a subdiscipline of philosophy.
The two major themes studied in psychology today are the mind-body problem, ie. how the mind and the body are related, and the nature vs. nurture debate, ie. whether we are free to control our own fate and change who we are.
1875: The first psychology labs were established in 1875 under Wilhelm Wundt (Leipzig) and William James (Harvard), both professors of physiology. James was later appointed chair of psychology in 1880, while Wundt believed that psychology should stay as a subdiscipline of philosophy.
1892: Gerard Heymans established the first experimental psychology lab in Groningen
1894: Carl Stumpf was appointed chair of.....read more
