Week 1

DQ 2: What do you think the term “paradigm” means in science? What do you think the

term “paradigm means in the field of psychology? To what do you attribute the

similarities/differences?

In science, paradigm’s can be used to show some type of model, metaphors and

method to find out if and how something works. Different types of steps can be taken in

order to find a scientific answer. Psychology has a lack of paradigm but it’s a

perspective or thought that can be used to understand psychological events. In

psychology it’s not that easy because all of your theory’s about someone’s behavior is

found out by talking to that person you can only have a point of view of the person’s

behavior by using psychological events. Researching a person’s environment or culture

can help when finding answers to way a behavior is different from another person with a

similar job or age. The both are similar because of a theory or observation that has

been made. Science paradigm has the ability to show the cause of why or how

something works by the researcher’s theory and paradigm in the field of psychology will

allow you to find the reason but by using the researchers theory only without a model.

Using or giving your own perspective on a person’s behavior will only be based on

theory not on fact, a good way would be to use the cause and effect theory to answer

questions about a environment changes.

Response 2

I believe paradigm means in science the ability to see patterns. In psychology,

paradigms mean the patterns in behavior. I believe that in science, the patterns are

important to the way we interact in our environment. For instance, the weather can

directly impact the way we behave in our environment; raining outside, makes one

sleepy or moody. The differences can be the way we can psychological manipulate

another's thoughts or behavior with simple suggestions or assumptions from

some other view point. An example of psychological manipulation in the Wayco

cult. One, suggestion lead to a mass following and ultimately death. In science, we can

factually manipulate the way the public feels about a subject. For instance, the way the

sun is producing solar flares and the solar flares disrupt climate changes. These facts

have been proven by patterns of weather, and studies of climate.
