For the following situation please answer these questions:
· Identify the psychological concept or concepts in the quote using correct terminology from the course. If the concept is closely associated with the writings of a particular theorist (such as Bandura, Erikson, Freud, Jung, Harlow, Kohlberg, Kubler-Ross, Lazarus, Maslow, Pavlov, Piaget, Rogers, Skinner, Spearman, etc.) then provide that information. Explain how the quote fits the concept.
· Identify the general perspective or approach to psychology that the concept falls under (such as behavioral, biological, cognitive, developmental, humanistic, psychodynamic, etc). If the concept doesn't fit into one of those categories, then at least identify which part of psychology it deals with (such as learning, memory, states of consciousness, etc).
· Describe the concept, using your own words, in two or three sentences.
The Situation:
Odie, 44 year old musician.
The way you think affects your life. That's what I believe. If you think about gloomy things, you turn into a gloomy person. So, I always try to think positive. That's the way it works with most of us. However, some people have a chemical imbalance in their brain. Look at Mom. After Dad died, she got very gloomy. I was really worried about her. She got some Prozac or something from her doctor and that helped bring her back to normal. So, I'm not saying that pills are the answer for everything. Pills are not the answer for all ailments. All I'm saying is that some people need more than positive thinking, they need help to cure a chemical imbalance
