Right, so this question is asking which perspective is often referred to as the third force in psychology and focuses on a person's freedom of choice in determining their behavior.
00:13
A, biopsychological perspective, b, behaviorism, c, cognitive psychology, or d, humanism.
00:22
So i think what you really have to focus on in what the question is giving you is that part where they say focuses on.
00:30
On a person's freedom of choice in determining their behavior.
00:36
The third force in psychology is kind of negligible, but it's also is pretty important if you are really studying by the book.
00:43
But rather, we really want to focus on a person's freedom of choice.
00:49
So when we talk about biographical perspective, we're really talking about this sort of broader range that encompasses what we know as neuroscience.
00:58
It really takes together physiological psychology, psychobiology, behavioral neuroscience, and it overlaps a lot with like cognitive neuroscience.
01:09
And that really takes on the whole biological basis of mental processes.
01:14
And with that being said, it doesn't really have much to do with a person's freedom of choice because, you know, if it's, if we're basing it on biology, it's essentially what happens naturally.
01:26
So because of that, biopsychological perspective, although it is a foreign perspective in psychology, isn't the right answer.
01:34
It's also not the third force in psychology.
01:38
Moving down, we have behaviorism.
01:40
And as the term suggests, behaviorism is really the study of observable behavior.
01:46
The primary supporter of this or kind of the forefront of running behaviorism was john b.
01:53
Watson.
01:53
And behaviorism is also known as the behavioral.
01:55
Perspective.
01:58
And this really takes on what we know as, or it encompasses terms that we know, such as operate conditioning, reinforcement, behavioral responses.
02:10
And this is actually, i'd have to say, one of the strongest forces, if we were talking to the forces aspect of psychology, that is contradictory to psychodynamic perspective, which is what freud takes on in that it includes the unconscious mind and how the unconscious mind influences conscious behavior and is based on early childhood experiences...
