- Perspectives
- A paradigm is a broad system of

scientific community that includes shared
models, metaphors, and methods.
Psychology lacks a unified paradigm but
has a number of schools of thought, or
perspectives, that can be used to
understand psychological events.

- People's actions are
determined by the
way thoughts,
feelings, and wishes
are connected in
their minds.
