INTRODUCTION
Psychological perspective refers to a scientific study that is being used to study the
behaviour of some individual and making interpretation of their behaviour. Psychological
perspective plays an important role in determining the behaviour of an individual along with
studying the impact of its emotions over its behaviour. It also helps the psychologist to explain
and predict the behaviour of human being. This perspective also helps to have an exploration of
knowledge and deeper understanding of an individual so that it can be used to develop better
approaches of treatment. This report will study about the various perspectives of psychology
along with its characteristics, evaluation and impacts over human behaviour. In addition, of this,
the present report will also discuss the various research over this perspective.
MAIN BODY
Characteristics of perspective of psychology
Psychology:
It refers to the study of mind and behaviour of an individual. It includes the study
regarding how people will feel, behave, act, think and other emotions. Under the study of
psychology psychologist study each and every aspect of human behaviour that how an individual
will react or what will be the reaction of an individual towards a stimuli.
Perspective of psychology:
Behaviorist perspective:
As per this perspective the behaviour of a person and animal is dependent upon the
surrounded environment. This means that the environment will reflect and control the behaviour
of an individual. This means the environment is known as stimuli which will determine the
response. This perspective is again comprised of two main process including classical
conditioning (CC) and operant conditioning (OC). However, CC is concerned with the learning
from association while OC is connected with learning from outcomes of behaviour (Gaines Jr,
2019). Behaviourism perspective is working on the basis of observance of behaviour and it will
be fully dependent upon stimuli. This means as per stimuli the response will vary.
