Goals and Perspectives of Psychology Paper

There are eight current perspectives in psychology; psychoanalytic, behavioral, humanistic, cognitive, evolutionary, biological, sociocultural, and psychosocially. All eight of these have really fascinated me in one way or another but there are three of them that I will say have defiantly intrigued me a little more than the others. The first one would have to be behavioral. Being able to explore how people learn the behavior they do though associations and observations I think would be really interesting. Being able to not only watch ones behaviors but then watch their consequences of the behaviors and watching what happens and being able to learn and observe from that would be such an interesting thing to do. Especially not knowing whether that behavior is going to be rewarded or punished. Not knowing the consequences of some of these behaviors but still being able to observe them would be very interesting
