Approaches to psychology
In psychology, there are various ways of looking at the same thing — different points of view or perspectives based certain assumptions. A psychologist’s particular perspective or approach will influence the methods they choose to study both humans and non-humans. It will also influence the type of therapies chosen to treat disorders.
Different approaches in psychology
There are several approaches used in psychology: biological, psychodynamic, behavioural, cognitive, evolutionary and humanistic. Each approach offers reasons why people function as they do, based on a particular set of assumptions.
The different approaches influence the types of methods a psychologist chooses to study phenomena, the conclusions drawn from the studies, and treatments chosen for disorders. These treatments are called therapies, and they may be biological or psychological. To know how each therapy works, you first need to understand the ideas behind the particular approach the therapy is based on.
How approach affects perception
Langer & Abelson (1974) investigated whether a psychologist’s approach would influence their view of a person’s behaviour. Clinicians from two psychological approaches (psychodynamic and behavioural) were shown a video of an interview between two men. Half of each group were told the interviewee was a job applicant and the other half were told he was a patient. The researchers expected the psychodynamic clinicians to rate the interviewee as more disturbed than the behaviourist clinicians. They found that the psychodynamic clinicians rated the man as disturbed when told he was a patient, but as relatively normal when told he was an interviewee. In contrast, the behaviourist clinicians rated the man as reasonably well adjusted in both conditions. The researchers suggested the reason for this was that the behaviourists rated the man based only on his overt behaviour, compared to the psychodynamic clinicians who were trained to look further than the surface. As the researchers pointed out, this study was purely to show how approach can affect perception of participants.
