Psychological Phenomena and Processes - Science topic

Its terms are different, but the theory and thought proposed are very close.

"Case conceptualization" and "psychological analysis" are the same or very similar concepts

"Psychological program" and "psychological process" are very close, attention, "psychological program" this article on the definition of psychological program is "psychological process" and "physiological process".

The first article and the second article use "case conceptualization" to obtain the psychological process, and the third article uses "psychological analysis" to obtain the psychological procedures, and they are actually doing the same things. The article "psychological program" uses a flow chart to present "psychological program", and the other two also use a flow chart to present "psychological process", The difference is that its arrow can be oriented in two directions.

We all know that cognitive psychology is the information processing of analogous computers, that is, input, output, processing, storage, extraction of information, etc. So what if we analogy the psychological process to a computer program in another way? What kind of theory can be established?

Or compare humans to a machine, so if primitive people encounter a computer or a robot, how do they study it? Study the structure of the robot brain, or bone, skin tissue composition? If primitive people first studied the brain structure of the robot, these primitive humans are brain scientists or neuroscientists, If the skin, bones or batteries, these primitive people are doctors or physiologists, But is there any primitive people who want to study robotic computer programs? If so, are these people psychologists?

If these primitive people do not know the existence of computer programs, would they name the robot's computer operation process as " psychological process"? After all, they didn't have the concept of a computer at that time, and they only called the mental activity of the robot "psychological process."

Take the "psychological process" as an element. Psychoanalysis is used to find psychological processes, inquiry, introspective, empathy and other methods as ways to find psychological processes. "Psychological process" is described in natural language. Finally, there are many techniques in Cognitive-behavioral therapy and behaviorist therapy, etc to modify psychological processes. So, do it like this, can psychology be integrated?

I advocate this because cognitive behavioral therapy is already done, using questioning and case conceptualization to acquire "automatic thinking", "beliefs"（"Automatic thinking, belief" is the psychological process）, and then helping patients modify them. I mean to extend this approach to all areas of psychology to establish a general theory of psychology. That is to say, we can take what is commonly called "mental process" as an element or unit, study how to discover or dig into it in people's psychology, and then study how to modify it, which is a general psychological theory.

However, the deficiency of cognitive psychology is that its research object is only "cognition", and the psychological processes of these cognition are very basic, such as "perception, attention, memory, representation" and so on. So, why not study the other psychological processes? For example, "the psychological process of anorexia", "the psychological process of character", such as "the psychological process of depression", "the psychological process of schizophrenia"?

A complete and such general psychological theory should include three parts: discovery of psychological process + process model + modification of psychological process.

Cognitive psychology has only the middle part, while cognitive behavioral therapy has all three parts, but its process is only "automatic thinking", "belief" and other cognitive processes. So I think cognitive behavioral therapy can be expanded, extending this three-step step to all mental processes, such as personality, neurosis, and so on, in all mental areas, First find a way to find the psychological process in the human psychology, then write the process in natural language, and then study the way to modify the process, which establishes a general theory, with "process" as an element or descriptive tool.

If we follow such a way of thinking, use the process or procedure as a tool to describe the psychology, first study how to discover or dig the psychological process in human psychology, and then use natural language to describe this psychological process, and then study how to modify these processes, does it establish a general theory in psychology? Using the "process" as a tool of description, then the whole psychology is not unified? Do all kinds of psychological phenomena, including cognition, personality, neurosis and even social psychology, have a universal language? That is, a process.

Why not compare psychological processes to a computer program? Since cognitive psychology has compared cognitive analogy to information processing, input and output, storage and extraction, why not simply compare psychological processes to computer programs? The psychological process is the operation process of the psychological program.

I've proposed this theory for four years, but until now there has been no positive feedback. Psychologists seem not to understand it. Can you understand it?

Taking the "psychological process" as an element can establish a general psychological theory.

Why not compare psychological processes to a computer program? Since cognitive psychology has compared cognitive analogy to information processing, input and output, storage and extraction, why not simply compare psychological processes to computer programs? The psychological process is the operation process of the psychological program. This paper is the same as the psychological program one, but I deliberately changed the terminology to change the " psychological program" to the " psychological process." I'm not sure how big the difference between psychological programs and mental processes is, and I have always thought that "psychological programs" are better suitable for what I want to describe. But using the name "psychological program" seems to be a barrier to understanding, and many psychologists are unable to understand the theory. So I now changed its terminology, " So I now changed its terminology, "psychological program" means very close to "psychological process." Maybe it's easy for others to understand this theory?（the theory of "psychological program" is to expand the research scope of "cognitive psychology" to all psychological processes, from "perception, memory, attention" to all psychological processes, And call these psychological processes "psychological program", because the word "psychological process" is not very accurate. "Cognitive psychology" can be regarded as a mere study of mental processes about cognition, The theory that I put forward is to study all the mental processes, including the "mental processes of cognition", and to see them as programs.）

Sometimes it seems that adaptability or innovativeness is a merely psychological phenomena, but in reality the socio-economical environment also matters to develop or follow these features.

What is Your opinion about adaptability or innovativeness as a subject? In addition - how is it related to such social sciences as political science or public administration?

I am currently working on my Senior research project at University, and I need to find surveys/questionnaires regarding these two psychological phenomena. I can not find any readily available, so are there any similar available surveys anyone is aware of? Thank you!

The 'editorial aims' section of a journal says that ...' papers should focus on behavioral outcomes more than on psychological processes'.

Psychological processes as: perception, memory, learning, emotion or motivation?

Can you dear experts share you insights to this motion that really prevails in our societies. After all what do you perceive around yourself?

Dear expert psychologists, is there an expert term or elaboration of some phenomena like the motion states above?

Thank you.

I want to study the nature of hypocrisy (double standards) in characters portrayed in the work of literature. I want to apply the suitable theory to discuss this psychological process where individuals have different preferences for own self and others. I'll appreciate if any one can help me with the suitable psychological or literary theory describing the above mentioned mental state.
