APPROACHES COGNITIVE PSYCHODYNAMIC BIOLOGICAL SOCIAL LEARNING BEHAVIOURAL
COGNITIVE - both led to real world - both nomothetic -Both use lab -both follow nurture
therapy applications -both use brain scanning experiments and studies principals
-focus on humans -both reductionist -Both soft determinist -both reductionist
-both det (PD more than -both use scientific -Both nomothetic -both ignore biology
cog) methods of research -Both very scientific -both use scientific
research
PSYCHODYNAMIC -cog uses more modern -both determinist -both focus on situational - both led to real world
ideas than PD -both nature context therapy applications
-PD uses case studies -both had huge influence -both focus on past -both state that the past
-cog is more scientific on psychology events influences the behaviour
than PD
-PD=nature, cog=nurture
-PD=idio, cog=nomo
BIOLOGICAL -cognitive ignores -bio uses -both nomothetic -both deterministic
influence of biology on twin studies, pd uses case -both ignore the past, -both use lab studies
cognition whereas bio studies look at present - both led to real world
focusses on influence of -bio=scientific, pd=non- -both scientific therapy applications
biology scientific -both use lab -both nomothetic
-cog=soft det, bio=hard -bio=nomothetic, experiments -both scientific
det pd=idiographic
SOCIAL LEARNING -cog focusses on mental -PD=childhood events -bio takes on nature -both focus on
processes whereas SLT whereas SLT=social approach whereas SLT experience influencing
focusses on experiences situations takes on nurture behaviour
-SLT uses animal -PD is non-scientific, SLT -SLT slightly free will -both use lab studies
extrapolation whereas is scientific (choose to imitate), bio -both focus on learning
cognitive doesn’t -PD=idio, SLT=nomo doesn’t based on observation
BEHAVIOURAL -beh used animal -beh=more det -beh= hard det, bio= soft -beh focusses on learning
research, cog didn't -beh used on animal det through conditioning
-cog=soft det, beh=hard studies whereas pd used -different views on whereas SLT focusses on
det human case studies phobias learning through
-PD is unscientifc, beh is -bio more reductionist influence of others
