終りました！やだ！
hehehe. yay. finished!:) going to take a bath and then edit the presentation slides for Tuesday:) here's the second paragraph of 1965words term paper on whether methods for natural science are appropriate for psychology. lol.
"As such, psychology has evolved from the philosophical ideas in the past to being part of the natural sciences, investigated and explored using the methods of natural sciences. There has been some contention as to whether psychology, which involves an autonomous mind, can be studied by using the same methods as those used for formal sciences such as biology, physics and mathematics. This is due to the fact that formal sciences contain natural objects that exist independently of what the researcher thinks about them (Oren, 2004) and thus the result can be predicted should the right variables be present and are presented in the same manner as before. Whereas for psychology, the uniqueness and complexity of each individual, coupled with the autonomy in behaviour of human beings, seem to suggest that an observational and experimental approach towards possible irregularities in behaviour is not the most feasible. However, over the short history of psychology, we have seen that it is possible to glimpse into the workings of some areas of the brain (conscious and unconscious) and its influence on behaviour through such a scientific method by systematically observing and recording events which occur. This is explored more as some of the methods of natural science applied to psychology are discussed."
What a disgusting paper. haha. But I guess I really learned a lot through writing this paper.. especially in the definition of what the different schools of thoughts are, as well as the timeline which events occurred in the history of psychology.
yup.
GST rebates are here soon :) i'm so glad. hahahahaha.
