Sigmund Freud, an Austrian neurologist born in 1856, significantly influenced psychology through his exploration of the unconscious mind. His interest in patients suffering from hysteria and neurosis — conditions without apparent physical causes — led him to theorize the existence of an unconscious mind, a repository for feelings and urges beyond our awareness.

Humanistic Psychology

2.9K
Humanistic psychology emerged in the mid-20th century as a response to the deterministic and pessimistic nature of behaviorism and psychoanalysis. While behaviorism focused on observable behaviors influenced by the environment and psychoanalysis delved into unconscious motivations, both theories suggested that human actions lacked free will. In contrast, humanistic psychology offers a perspective that emphasizes the innate potential for goodness and growth within every individual.

Area of Science:

  • Behavioral Economics
  • Cognitive Psychology
  • Decision Science

Background:

  • Decisions involving future costs/benefits highlight intertemporal tradeoffs.
  • Time perception is crucial for understanding these tradeoffs.
  • Traditional research focused on objective (calendar) time.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the role of subjective time perception in intertemporal choice.
  • To investigate psychological time as an alternative to objective time in decision-making models.
  • To determine if altering time perception can influence impatience.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing literature on intertemporal choice and time perception.
  • Analysis of studies differentiating between objective and subjective time.
  • Theoretical framework development linking subjective time to intertemporal preference.

Main Results:

  • Subjective time perception significantly impacts intertemporal tradeoffs.
  • Psychological time offers a more nuanced explanation for preference than calendar time.
  • Altering time perception demonstrates potential for modifying impatience.

Conclusions:

  • Future research should prioritize subjective time perception in intertemporal decision models.
  • Understanding and manipulating time perception may offer novel strategies for behavioral interventions.
  • The subjective experience of time is a key determinant of economic and psychological choices.
