1

From the investigations of Freud during the late 19th century until the present time, theorists have (1) made controlled observations of human behavior and (2) speculated on the meaning of those observations.  Differences in the theories these theorists produced are due to more than differences in terminology.  They stem from differences on basic issues concerning the nature of humanity.  Over the course of the term, we will explore how the balance between introspection and empirical study continue to help us (humanity) build our understanding of self and others.  

Your Task

1.
Main Entry:   Start a new thread and place the header — Name’s Main Entry (e.g., 
Phyllis’ Main Entry) at the top.  Within the body of your post, 
clearly identify each segment of the required response in order to facilitate discussion development.  

a.

Early impressions: 
 Another WGU Psychology student learns that you are taking a course in “positive psychology.”  They have never heard of “positive psychology,” but express it sounds like the study of “happiology” or “positive thinking” – all of which anyone can find recommendations for in the popular media.  As we begin this course, are you leaning toward this position? Or, would you argue differently?  Justify your response, based on your present knowledge of the field. 

b.

Moving Beyond the Medical Model:  
Your readings (e.g., Seligman & Csikszentmihalyi, 2000) state that the field of Psychology has operated within a “disease model” until Positive Psychology came upon the scene. Aside from Clinical Psychology, do believe this is true of other fields of psychology, such as Developmental Psychology, Social Psychology, Learning, Motivation, Physiological Psychology, Experimental Psychology, Industrial/Organizational Psychology, Personality, etc.?  Provide examples to support your position.  

c.

This Week’s Videos: 
What was your largest “take-away” from the videos we watched this week.

d.

A Positive Life:  
In your own words, what are the characteristics of a positive life, and how can they be measured and taught?

2.
Post Constructive Peer Feedback: In addition to posting your thoughts to the main entry questions, respond to at least TWO (2) of your classmates’ entries.  In 3 or more sentences, provide constructive feedback.  Do you have some additional thoughts on the topic?  Share them.  When providing your feedback present the logic behind it.
