Chapters 1 & 2 Study Guide: Evolution & Research Enterprise ? Chapter 1 Key People: Carl Rogers: One of the most prominent architects of the humanistic movement. He, along with Abraham Maslow, argues that human behavior is governed primarily by each individual?s sense of self, or ?self-concept? ? which animals presumably lack. He argued that in order to fully understand human behavior, psychologists must take into account the fundamental human drive toward personal growth. He asserted that people have a basic need to continue to evolve as human beings and fulfill their potentials.

Psychology Chapter 1: The Evolution of Psychology Terms: Structuralism: notion that the task of psychology is to analyze consciousness into its basic elements and investigate how these elements are related; sensations/ perception (vision, hearing, and touch), feelings and images. (5) Introspection: careful, systematic self-observation of one?s own conscious experience. (5) Functionalism: belief that psychology should investigate the function or purpose of consciousness, rather than its structure. (5) Natural Selection: heritable characteristics that provide a survival or reproductive advantage are more likely than alternative characteristics to be passed on to subsequent generations and thus come to be ?selected? over time. (5)
