Criticisms of the Evolutionary Perspective01:23

Criticisms of the Evolutionary Perspective

268
In a study where individuals posing as strangers offered compliments and proposed casual sex to students, the responses differed significantly based on gender. Not a single woman accepted the proposal, while 70% of the men agreed. This outcome provides a useful scenario to explore through the lens of evolutionary psychology and social learning theory, highlighting the diverse perspectives on human sexual behaviors.
Evolutionary psychology provides one explanation for these findings, suggesting...

Ethics in Research

Today, scientists agree that good research is ethical in nature and is guided by a basic respect for human dignity and safety. However, this has not always been the case. Modern researchers must demonstrate that the research they perform is ethically sound.

Functionalism01:11

Functionalism

2.1K
William James, John Dewey, and Charles Sanders Peirce were instrumental in founding functional psychology, which draws heavily from Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection. This theory suggests that individual traits, including behaviors, are adapted to their environments through natural selection. At the heart of functionalism is the concept of adaptation, meaning that a trait enhances an individual's chances of survival and reproduction.
James envisioned psychology's...

Sources of Self-Esteem II: Performance Feedback

147
Self-esteem is intricately tied to our perception of competence and our ability to exert control over our lives. One of the primary sources of this perception is performance feedback — the ongoing evaluation of our actions in terms of success and failure. According to Franks and Marolla (1976), people derive self-worth from experiencing themselves as causal agents, capable of achieving goals and overcoming obstacles. This process nurtures a critical component of self-esteem:...

Humanistic Psychology01:24

Humanistic Psychology

2.3K
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.
This approach...

Naturalistic Observations02:30

Naturalistic Observations

16.9K
If you want to understand how behavior occurs, one of the best ways to gain information is to simply observe the behavior in its natural context. However, people might change their behavior in unexpected ways if they know they are being observed. How do researchers obtain accurate information when people tend to hide their natural behavior? As an example, imagine that your professor asks everyone in your class to raise their hand if they always wash their hands after using the restroom. Chances...

Summary

Adapted physical educators (APE) see value in research for practice, yet find it lacking in accessibility and practical application. Higher education and experience correlated with lower perceptions of research usefulness.

Area of Science:

  • Adapted Physical Education
  • Educational Research
  • Teacher Perspectives

Background:

  • Educational research informs classroom best practices.
  • Limited data exists on adapted physical educators' views on research.
  • This study addresses this gap by examining APE teachers' perceptions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate adapted physical educators' perceptions of educational research.
  • To understand the impact of research on APE practice.
  • To identify barriers and facilitators to research utilization in APE.

Main Methods:

  • Survey distributed to 60 general physical education and APE associations in the USA.
  • 124 adapted physical educators participated.
  • Data analyzed using Spearman correlations and frequency counts of open-ended responses.

Main Results:

  • A majority of participants had conducted research, finding it beneficial for addressing specific issues.
  • High engagement with research reported, positively impacting behavior management and student advocacy.
  • Low rankings for research usefulness and accessibility; higher education/experience linked to lower validity/usefulness perceptions.

Conclusions:

  • Research plays a vital role in adapted physical education practice.
  • Researchers must enhance the practical applicability of findings for teachers.
  • Bridging the gap between research and practice is crucial for APE.
