(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.

At some point in your study of psychology, you may be required to write a case study. A case study is an in-depth analysis of a single person. These are often used in clinical cases or in situations when lab research is not possible or practical. In undergraduate courses, these are often based on a real individual, an imagined individual, or a character from a television show, film, or book.

He also influenced the establishment of the American Psychological Association (APA). What were the chief tenets of structuralism and functionalism?
