PSY-P 101 Lecture Notes - Lecture 15: Institutional Review Board, Milgram Experiment, Aphasia
Document Summary
Institutional review board (irb) - groups of psychologists or other professionals who look over each proposed research study and judge it according to its safety and consideration for the participants in the study. Investigator must debrief participants, telling the true nature of the study and expectations of results: data must remain confidential. Values affect what is studied, how it is studied, and how results are interpreted e. g. , gender differences. Therapy always reflects a world view so find a therapist who shares the same world views in order to receive effective help. Neural and hormonal systems: biology, behavior, and mind. Everything psychological - every idea, every mood, every urge - is biological. Psychologists working from a biological perspective study the links between biology and behavior. Humans are biopsychosocial systems in which biological, psychological, and social-cultural factors interact to influence behavior. Understanding of the relationship between the brain and mind has evolved over time.
