Theoretical Approaches to Psychological Disorder01:29

Theoretical Approaches to Psychological Disorder

996
The development of psychological disorders, which are characterized by deviant, maladaptive, and personally distressing behaviors, has been explored through several theoretical approaches.
Biological approach
The biological approach posits that internal, organic factors are the primary causes of such disorders. This perspective emphasizes brain structure and function, genetic predispositions, and neurotransmitter imbalances. For example, schizophrenia has been associated with both genetic...

Structuralism01:26

Structuralism

3.9K
Structuralism, an early psychological theory developed by Wilhelm Wundt and his student Edward Bradford Titchener, sought to dissect the human mind into its most fundamental components. Wundt's groundbreaking work in his laboratory set the stage for Titchener to define structuralism's goal as cataloging the "atoms" of the mind—sensations, images, and feelings—akin to how chemists identify elements of matter.
Titchener's approach to structuralism was unique. He...

Horney's Sociocultural Approach

1.2K
Karen Horney's psychoanalytic theories emphasize the potential for self-realization and the importance of addressing social and cultural, rather than biological, factors in personality development. She challenged traditional Freudian views, particularly Freud's concept of "penis envy," which she argued stemmed from cultural influences rather than inherent biological differences. Horney believed that any sense of inferiority in women was a result of societal conditioning, such as...

Language and Cognition01:27

Language and Cognition

928
Language serves as a bridge between ideas and communication, influencing how individuals perceive and interact with the world. Psychologists have long debated whether language shapes thought or vice versa. This discussion gained grip with Edward Sapir and Benjamin Lee Whorf in the 1940s, who proposed that language determines thought, a concept known as linguistic determinism. They suggested that the vocabulary and structure of a language influence how its speakers think and perceive reality.

Frustration and Conflict: Approach-Approach, Approach-Avoidance01:20

Frustration and Conflict: Approach-Approach, Approach-Avoidance

631
Frustration occurs when people are obstructed or prevented from achieving a desired goal or fulfilling a perceived need. For example, when someone's input is ignored in a discussion, it can lead to feelings of frustration. Conflict, however, arises from opposing interests, goals, or actions. Conflicts can take various forms based on the nature of these opposing desires or goals.
One common type of conflict is the Approach–Approach Conflict. In this case, a person faces two desirable...

Group Design02:01

Group Design

11.0K
The most basic experimental design involves two groups: the experimental group and the control group. The two groups are designed to be the same except for one difference— experimental manipulation. The experimental group gets the experimental manipulation—that is, the treatment or variable being tested—and the control group does not. Since experimental manipulation is the only difference between the experimental and control groups, we can be sure that any differences between...

Area of Science:

  • Social Sciences
  • Health Sciences
  • Nursing Research

Background:

  • Discourse analysis (DA) encompasses Foucauldian and radical social constructionist approaches.
  • Both DA approaches are influenced by social constructionism, which has debated aspects of power, embodiment, and materialism.
  • Embodiment and materialism are particularly pertinent to nursing research due to the focus on the physical body.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose a framework for selecting and declaring discourse analysis (DA) approaches in research.
  • To assist researchers in navigating the theoretical and methodological choices within DA.
  • To anticipate and address potential methodological critiques in discourse analytic research.

Main Methods:

  • The paper discusses theoretical underpinnings of social constructionism and its relation to DA.
  • It examines Foucauldian DA's focus on power dynamics.
  • It explores the relevance of embodiment and materialism in nursing research contexts.

Main Results:

  • Social constructionism's contested nature allows for flexible integration of theoretical and methodological elements.
  • A framework is suggested for researchers to clarify their chosen DA approach.
  • The framework aims to enhance methodological transparency and preparedness for critique.

Conclusions:

  • Researchers can tailor DA approaches by understanding the nuances of social constructionism.
  • The proposed framework supports rigorous and well-justified application of DA in research.
  • This approach aids in addressing validity, reliability, and scholarship within a discourse analytic perspective.
