Psychopathology Research | Research Area, Findings, and Conclusions |
Rosenhan and Seligman (1989) | Failure to function adequately They proposed signs that suggested someone wasn't functioning adequately: when a personal doesn't conform to interpersonal rules, experiences severe personal distress, and their behaviour becomes harmful. |
Jahoda (1958) | Deviation from ideal mental health She proposed that abnormality was when a person deviated from her 8 ideals for mental health, such as no symptoms of distress, self-actualisation, rationality, coping with stress, and a realistic view of the world. |
Hobbart (1960) | The two-process model as an explanation of phobias. Hobbart suggested we acquired phobias through classical conditioning and maintained them through operant conditioning |
Watson and Rayner (1920) | Acquisition of phobias via classical conditioning. W+R studied a boy called Little Albert, and used classical conditioning of associating a white rat with a loud bang to make LA acquire a phobia of white rats and similar objects. |
Bounton (2007) | Criticism of two-process model Bounton pointed out that evolutionary factors also play a role in phobias, but aren't mentioned in the two-process model (e.g. fear of snakes due to survival instinct of ancestors is passed down generations) |
Seligman (1971) | Biological preparedness Seligman suggested that people have an innate predisposition towards certain phobic stimuli, such as dangerous animals. |
