Critical Thinking Questions
17. Why do you think many people might be skeptical about psychology being a science?
Answer
One goal of psychology is the study of the mind. Science cannot directly study the mind,
because it is not a form of matter or energy. This might create some skepticism about the
scientific nature of psychology.
19. In part, what aspect of psychology was the behaviorist approach to psychology a
reaction to?
Answer
Behaviorists studied objectively observable behavior partly in reaction to the psychologists
of the mind who were studying things that were not directly observable.
21. What are the potential ethical concerns associated with Milgram’s research on
obedience?
Answer
Many people have questioned how ethical this particular research was. Although no one
was actually harmed in Milgram’s study, many people have questioned how the knowledge
that you would be willing to inflict incredible pain and/or death to another person, simply
because someone in authority told you to do so, would affect someone’s self-concept and
psychological health. Furthermore, the degree to which deception was used in this
particular study raises a few eyebrows.
