INTRODUCTION TO PSYCHOLOGY
DISCUSSION NUMBER TWO
PART A:
In chapter one Wilhelm Wundt is credited as using introspection as he examined his reactions to various stimuli. Your discussion question centers around your goals for the future.
The question is: Where do you see yourself in five years? What life goals have you set for yourself and how do plan to go about achieving those goals?
Once you have finished jotting down your ideas, you too will have used the process of introspection. Although structuralism did not continue as one of the main ways in which we look at behavior, in many of life's processes we continue to look inside ourselves.
PART B:
Pretend you are a psychologist during the time of Wundt and Titchener. The stimulus you are asked to describe is "happiness."
(1)The question is: How would you define happiness? In rank order list 3-5 factors that you think are important in your own happiness. Take a few moments to "introspect" about your response and then record your answer.
(2)Next, visit the following website and record your impression of what you find there.
