phenomenal field

Examples of phenomenal field in the following topics:

• Rogers' Humanistic Theory of Personality

  • Rogers advanced the field by stressing that the human person is an active, creative, experiencing being who lives in the present and subjectively responds to current perceptions, relationships, and encounters.
  • A person reacts to changes in their phenomenal field, which includes external objects and people as well as internal thoughts and emotions.
  • The phenomenal field refers to a person's subjective reality, which includes external objects and people as well as internal thoughts and emotions.
  • The person's motivations and environments both act on their phenomenal field.

• Evaluating the Humanistic Perspective on Personality

  • Personality development is thought to be based on interactions in the phenomenal field or social and physical environment.
  • The inclusion of the subjective field of reality allows for variation among people who would otherwise act or behave similarly.

• Neural Underpinnings of Consciousness

  • Scientists believe it may be the case that every phenomenal, subjective state has its own neural correlate.
  • Consciousness can also be phenomenal, such as our experiences in real time, or access, such as recalling a state of being or feeling.

• Introduction to Social Psychology and Social Perception

  • The field of social psychology has traditionally been described as a bridge between psychology and sociology.
  • There are some important differences in the way that psychological social psychologists and sociological social psychologists approach the field of study.
  • This field is specifically concerned with the way feelings, thoughts, beliefs, intentions, and goals are constructed, and how such psychological factors, in turn, influence interactions with others.
  • The field of social psychology consists of the overlapping foci of psychology and sociology.
  • Define the goals, questions, and approaches of the field of social psychology

• Early Roots of Psychology

  • The field of psychology emerged as a scientific discipline in the 19th century, but its roots go back to ancient philosophy.
  • These philosophical roots played a large role in the development of the field.
  • The fields of psychoneuroimmunology and behavioral medicine explicitly focus on this interconnection.
  • Psychology as a self-conscious field of experimental study began in 1879, when German scientist Wilhelm Wundt founded the first laboratory dedicated exclusively to psychological research in Leipzig.
  • Describe the philosophical roots of what would later become the field of psychology

• Evolutionary Psychology

  • Evolutionary psychology has been applied to the study of many fields, including economics, aggression, law, psychiatry, politics, literature, and sex.
  • The field also draws on cognitive psychology, behavioral ecology, artificial intelligence, genetics, anthropology, archaeology, biology, and zoology.
  • Charles Darwin's theory of natural selection has been highly influential in the field of evolutionary psychology.

• Introducing Health Psychology

  • The field of health psychology includes two sub-fields.
  • Define the focus and goals of the field of health psychology

• Studying the Brain

  • Many schools of thought within the field have come and gone since then; some, like behaviorism, have persisted and evolved if they stood up to scientific study; others, like phrenology, have faded as they have lost credibility.
  • Neuroscience is a relatively new field, but the more research that is done, the more it appears that much of human behavior and mental processes—the key interests for psychological study—are intimately intertwined with activity in the brain.
  • Trace the history of brain science in the field of psychology

• Social Psychology

  • The field of social psychology studies topics at both the intrapersonal level (pertaining to the individual), such as emotions and attitudes, and the interpersonal level (pertaining to groups), such as aggression and attraction.
  • The field is also concerned with common cognitive biases—such as the fundamental attribution error, the actor-observer bias, the self-serving bias, and the just-world hypothesis—that influence our behavior and our perceptions of events.
  • During the 1930s, Gestalt psychologists such as Kurt Lewin were instrumental in developing the field as something separate from the behavioral and psychoanalytic schools that were dominant during that time.

• History of Cognition

  • The Greek philosopher Aristotle was interested in many fields, including the inner workings of the mind and how they affect the human experience.
  • These processes can be analyzed through the lenses of many different fields: linguistics, anesthesia, neuroscience, education, philosophy, biology, computer science, and of course, psychology, to name a few.
  • These numerous approaches to the analysis of cognition are synthesized in the relatively new field of cognitive science, the interdisciplinary study of mental processes and functions.
