Book: Schultz, D.P., & Schultz, S.E. (2012). A History of Modern Psychology, (Ed. 10th)
• Chapter 4, The New Psychology
• Chapter 5, Structuralism
Instructions:
Briefly discuss how the psychology became a separate and distinct discipline.
• Focus on only main concepts for each textbook chapter, the new psychology and structuralism. In other words, do not try to summarize all the relative concepts and theorists in Chapter 4 & 5. (Important Note: Do interpret the concepts of the theorists in your own words and do not use in your paper quoted material, unless absolutely necessary to the point you are trying to make. Whenever possible, do try to apply the theorist's concepts to real world experiences).
• Compare and Contrast the most significant influences to psychology in the areas of the new psychology (Chapter 4) and structuralism (Chapter 5).
• Briefly, discuss the Zeitgeist (intellectual climate of the times, i.e., social, political, educational, cultural and how these influence the theorists world view).
