Psychology Chapter 1: The Evolution of Psychology Terms: Structuralism: notion that the task of psychology is to analyze consciousness into its basic elements and investigate how these elements are related; sensations/ perception (vision, hearing, and touch), feelings and images. (5) Introspection: careful, systematic self-observation of one?s own conscious experience. (5) Functionalism: belief that psychology should investigate the function or purpose of consciousness, rather than its structure. (5) Natural Selection: heritable characteristics that provide a survival or reproductive advantage are more likely than alternative characteristics to be passed on to subsequent generations and thus come to be ?selected? over time.

Trina Ta Psychological Perspectives on Celebrity: Lindsey Lohan Socio-Cultural Perspective: Though living in the United States, doing drugs is illegal and considered wrong, when she explored other countries, it was accepted and normal. Biological Perspective: Growing up her parents abused and used drugs, which she inherited from them. Psychodynamic Perspective: She was having trouble adjusting to the fame and the fortune, so she thought the way to relax and have fun was to use illegal drugs to solve her stress. Behavioral Perspective: She was not being punished enough for her crimes, so she felt that she was able to do it repeatedly without any trouble. Cognitive Perspective: She thought that she was doing was the right thing for her mind and body.
