Question

ns Question 7 (1 point) s saved The cognitive perspective of psychology focuses on: the important role of mental processes in how people process information how overt behavior is acquired and modified by environmental influences the diversity of human behavior in different cultural settings and countries. the motivation of people to grow psychologically, the influence of interpersonal relationships on a person's self-concept, and the importance of choice and self-direction in striving to reach one's potential.

Explanation / Answer

7. The important role of mental processes in how people process information. (Cognition” refers to thinking and memory processes, and “cognitive development” refers to long-term changes in these processes. Cognitive perspective explicitly acknowledges the existence of internal mental states (such as belief, desire, and motivation). Cognitive theory contends that solutions to problems take the form of algorithms, heuristics, or insights.)

8. None of these

(In Rogers' view of the personality theory, a person's identity is formed through a string of personal experiences, which in turn reflect how the individual is perceived by himself (or herself), his or her peers, and the outside world. Rogers called this the phenomenological field. Rogers also believed the concept of self is primarily conscious (unlike Freud who believed we are primarily controlled by unconscious urges) and that people are driven to engage in activities that result in personal satisfaction and a beneficial contribution to society. He called this the actualizing tendency'. Rogers' humanistic (and optimistic) view of human nature led him to believe that all people and living organisms strive to develop their potential to its fullest extent, in an effort to reach self-actualization, also known as the peak of self efficiency. Two primary sources that influence our self-concept are childhood experiences and evaluation by others.According to Rogers (1959), we want to feel, experience and behave in ways which are consistent with our self-image and which reflect what we would like to be like, our ideal-self. The closer our self-image and ideal-self are to each other, the more consistent or congruent we are and the higher our sense of self-worth. A person is said to be in a state of incongruence if some of the totality of their experience is unacceptable to them and is denied or distorted in the self-image.)

9. It can be used to determine the cause and effect of two or more variables. ( correlation studies just confirm that there is a relationship between variables. Experimental studies allows manipulation of variables in controlled settings and in that helps to find out the cause effect relationship )

11. Objectivity ( this is one among the charecteristics of scientific method)

10. Apply the findings to solve human problems (this in itself is not a part of the scientific methodology, rather a good intention or end process of scientific inquiry )
