Discussion Post: Psychology Foundations Theories

Taking an introductory psychology class helps you to gain insights into several different areas of human behavior and mental processes. In this unit, you are looking at the foundations (or the building blocks) of psychology. Theories are attempts to explain and predict behaviors or events by using organizing principles and observations. Theories lead to hypotheses, which lead to research and observation.

I. Describe a topic you would like to know more about that is related to psychology (for example, how people can control their behavior or think before act).

II. Consider what theory described in your reading would best help you understand what you are studying. Explain that theory with reference to the text and discuss why you think it helps you understand your chosen topic.

III. Identify what subfields of psychology (and what professionals in this field) might address the topic that you have chosen.
