4. Contemporary Perspectives
There are six main psychological perspectives
Biological
Cognitive
Humanistic
Psychoanalytic
Behavioral
Sociocultural
The Biological Perspective
Biological Psychologists look for connections between events in the brain and behavior and mental processes.Biological Psychologists have learned that certain chemicals in the brain are connected with the storage of information– that is formation of memories.Biological psychologists are also interested in the influences of hormones and genes. (Hormones are released in the bloodstream and control functions such as growth and digestion. Genes are the basic building blocks of heredity.
Biological Perspective
The Cognitive Perspective
The Cognitive Psychologists focus on how people think. They are interested in how people take in, process, store, and retrieve information.
The Humanistic Perspective
The Humanistic Perspective stresses the human capacity for self-fulfillment and the capacity to make choices. The humanists believe in free will.They also believe that healthy people have an innate drive to realize their potentialities.They view people as basically good and emphasize conscious thought.
Humanistic Perspective
The Psychoanalytic Perspective
We associate Freud with this perspective.
The Psychoanalytic Perspective stresses the influence of unconscious forces on human behavior.
This perspective also stresses the impact of unresolved conflict in childhood
The Behavioral/Learning Perspective
The founding father of this perspective is John B. Watson.
The Behavioral Perspective believes that we learn certain responses through rewards and punishments.
The Social-Cultural Perspective
The Sociocultural Perspective addresses such issues as:
Ethnicity
Culture
Socioeconomic Status
They also examine gender
Sociocultural Perspective

Applying Perspectives
Neuroscience: Perhaps Dennis Rodman has a high level of estrogen that makes him feel as though he should wear women’s clothes.
Psychodynamic: Perhaps Dennis was traumatized as a child when he was not permitted to have a Halloween costume. He has repressed the memory into his unconscious, but, as a result dresses in outrageous clothing to try and overcompensate for his loss as a child.
Behavioral: Perhaps whenever Dennis dyed his hair or got a new tattoo he was rewarded with a lot of attention. Dennis liked the attention so he continues to dye his hair and add to his tattoo collection.
Cognitive: Dennis interprets his role in the NBA as needing to create attention for his team. As a result, he thinks that by cross-dressing, dying his hair, and tattooing his body, his team will get the attention and press that it requires.
Social-Cultural: Perhaps in the NBA culture, these behaviors occur often and are widely accepted; thus, Dennis Rodman believes his behavior to be typical and not out of the ordinary.
Humanistic: Dennis has free will to dress and behave any way he wants. Perhaps he feels that by that by tattooing his body and dying his hair he is reaching his full potential as unique individual.
