Starting in antiquity, the authors describe how our collective knowledge of psychology evolved over the centuries, highlighting the contributions of the most influential psychologists and researchers over time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The authors work across a variety of disciplines, including clinical psychology, business psychology, journalism, writing and editing, and music. Together they provide a multifaceted perspective on the many concepts that comprise the field of psychology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In our overview, we\u2019ll explore the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/the-origins-of-psychology\/\">origins of psychology<\/a> before moving chronologically through six major fields: behaviorism, psychoanalysis, cognitive psychology, social psychology, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/developmental-psychology-history\/\">developmental psychology<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/what-is-differential-psychology\/\">differential psychology<\/a>. We\u2019ll explore the major concepts of each field, as well as each field\u2019s most prominent thinkers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What Is Psychology?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Psychology is the study of human thought and behavior, as well as the mental processes that underpin them.<\/strong> In its infant form, psychology dealt with the concept of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/human-consciousness\/\">human consciousness<\/a><em> <\/em>before thinkers turned their attention to understanding and measuring mental processes through experimentation and behavioral observation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Behaviorism: Studying the Mind by Observing Behavior<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The authors explain that many researchers felt that the best way to analyze the human mind was through a person\u2019s behavior. <strong>Behaviorism is the study of why people and animals behave the way they do and how they learn. <\/strong>Behavior was appealing to study because it was observable and could therefore be studied in experiments. American psychologists considered it to be a more scientific approach to the field than the philosophical analysis of consciousness. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Psychoanalytic Theory: The Study of the Mind\u2019s Inner Workings<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The other main approach to psychology in the early 20th century was psychoanalytic theory, or psychotherapy, which was more common in Europe. <strong>Unlike behaviorism, its focus is on the <em>internal<\/em> workings of the mind<\/strong>\u2014things such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/remembering-repressed-memories\/\">repressed memories<\/a> and the unconscious\u2014and on the treatment of mental illness through therapy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Cognitive Psychology: The Study of Mental Processes<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The authors say that after World War II, psychology\u2019s main focus shifted from behavior and psychoanalysis to the study of mental processes like emotion and memory in what\u2019s referred to as the \u201ccognitive revolution.\u201d Following the development of computer systems and artificial intelligence, some psychologists began to view the brain as an information processor, and this view\u2014along with advances in neuroscience\u2014gave them a model for how to study mental processes directly instead of interpreting them through behavior. <strong>This led to the field of cognitive psychology, which remains the dominant approach to psychology today.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Social Psychology: Society and the Individual<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The scope of psychology broadened in the 20th century, leading to the emergence of new fields like social psychology.<\/strong> In the 1930s, some scientists began to study how individuals behave within groups, as well as how those groups impact the individuals within them. They also looked at relationships among individuals in groups and among groups themselves. This gave them insight into how social change occurs, humans\u2019 tendency to conform, and the psychology behind obedience, among other things. We\u2019ll discuss some of the most prominent ideas below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Developmental Psychology: The Mind From Infancy to Adulthood<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The authors explain that prior to the 1930s, the general belief was that children are just miniature versions of adults and that the main psychological difference between children and adults was a lack of knowledge due to age. This belief was challenged by Swiss psychologist Jean Piaget, who argued that <strong>children\u2019s cognitive processes are different from those of adults<\/strong>. This led to the field of developmental psychology, or the study of how the brain changes over the course of a lifetime, including the forming of attachments, learning, and developmental disorders, among other things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Differential Psychology: The Study of Human Differences<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The field of differential psychology, which arose in the 20th century, examines differences in people\u2019s personalities and intelligences. This has led to modern-day IQ and personality tests, trait theory, and research into personality disorders. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How has psychology evolved over the years?
