Personality Week 7

This week went by very quickly, seemed like a big blur. I don't really remeber a lot of what we talked about. Talked a bit about skinner and how he wanted to make psychology about observable behaviors. I think that if psychology was about only about observable behaviors then it wouldn't really be psychology. The definition of psychology accorrding to dictionary.com is, "The science that deals with mental processes and behavior"(dictionary.com). Well if this is the definition then only observing external things would not even be considered psychology because the whole mental process is completely internal and their are so many ideas and philosophies that are expressed internally that if we did that we would miss a big chunk of what was really going on with someone. Interesting to talk and think about though, as all these theories are.
