Question 1

Let’s dive into the early days of psychology. Think about Wilhelm Wundt and William James. How did each of them contribute to shaping the field? Wundt is often called the father of experimental psychology, and James is known for his functionalist approach. Use your textbook to detail their major theories and methods, but explain it in your own words. Also, share a personal example of how learning about their work has influenced your understanding of psychological principles.

Question 2:

Freuds concept of the unconscious mind is fascinating, isn’t it? He believed that much of our behavior is influenced by unconscious processes. Using your textbook, explain what Freud meant by the unconscious mind. Summarize the main points in your own words and reflect on a time in your life when you felt the unconscious mind might have been at play.

Bonus Question

The Replication Crisis in psychology is a hot topic these days. It refers to the difficulty in replicating many psychological studies. What does it mean, and why is it important? Explain this using your textbook, but put it into your own words. Think of an example where this crisis might make you question the trustworthiness of a psychological study. (Chapter 2)
