Hawthorn effect- Refers to the simple fact that workers became more productive when they are aware that they are being studied. The original experiment was conducted between 1924 and 1932 and was meant to measure the increase of production due to increase in lighting. The original experiment lasted from 1927-1932 and measured the productivity of two women working in the relay assembly section of the Western Electric Factory outside Chicago. It turned out that any increase in productivity was actually due to attention being paid to them by the experimenters. Another variation of the productivity experiment was done in 1931-1932 where Elton Mayo and W Lloyd Warner attempted to increase productivity by offering pay incentives that rewarded the workers for each part that they produced. The productivity actually dropped because the workers feared the company would decrease the base rate if production increased. The workers formed informal work groups or “cliques” who formed informal rules of behavior and mechanisms to enforce them. In both of the studies above, confounding or hidden variables affected the results of the experiment. • Roger Sperry- the first to propose” split brain surgery” to help epileptic patients. • Jean Piaget-Proposed four stages of cognitive development. Summarize all. • Erik Erikson-Proposed eight stages of social development. Summarize all. • Lawrence Kohlberg- Proposed three stages of moral development. Summarize all three. What were some criticisms of his theory? • Konrad Lorentz- Imprinting studies. Showed how baby animals would follow the first object they saw after birth. Survival mechanism • Jerome Kagen- studies to indicate that inborn temperament may explain many behaviors. • Harry Harlow- Showed the importance of physical touch over nourishment in infant monkeys (contact comfort). • Mary Ainsworth-secure infants have good bonds with mothers.

    Why we Need a More Humanistic Positive Organizational Scholarship: Carl Rogers’ Person- Centered Approach as a Challenge to Neoliberalism Stephen Joseph University of Nottingham Correspondence should be addressed to Stephen Joseph, PhD, Professor, School of Education, University of Nottingham, Nottingham, United Kingdom NG8 1BB.

The final article will be available, upon publication, via its DOI: 10.1037/hum0000151 1 Why we Need a More Humanistic Approach to Positive Organizational Scholarship: Carl Rogers’ Person-Centred Approach as a Challenge to Neoliberalism Recent years have seen much interest in the new field of Positive Organizational Scholarship (POS). POS focuses specifically on what is positive, flourishing, and life-giving in organizations, and how to cultivate individual and organizational performance. In this article I will discuss the humanistic approach of Carl Rogers and how it can contribute to POS. Rogers is well known for his work on human relations and like POS he was concerned with the promotion of human flourishing. However, unlike POS, Rogers’ approach was based on a distinctive view of human nature and non-directive practice. By comparison, it looks like POS talks the language of human flourishing while offering ways in which to control and direct people as part of the neoliberal hegemony that humanistic scholars might see as the problem. I would like to advocate for a humanistic POS; one which explicitly has the aim of liberation and empowerment.

Our heritage comes from Schopenhauer and Freud who told us that the best we can ever hope for is to keep our misery and suering to a mini- mum. I want to suggest today the possibility of a positive human future. Until the possibility that there is more to life than minimizing suering gets on the radar screen, a positive human future is much less likely.

    What is Psychology? • A set of questions about mental functioning – trace back to philosophy – Aristotle asked about memory, personality, emotions, etc. • A set of theories and procedures for asking and answering questions – the scientific method – evolved over centuries, first in physics • A product of history – philosophy asked many of the basic questions – physiology used similar methods Philosophical Developments • A Question: How are mind and body related? • Dualism - body and soul are separate but interrelated – origins in medieval religion – soul is seat of intellectual function and will – mind is product of the soul • mind not subject to scientific inquiry – to challenge this was punishable by death Philosophical Developments • A Question: How are mind and body related? • Rene Descartes (1596-1650) - modified dualism – since animals have no soul, much behavior does not require soul – the body can therefore control much behavior • led him to study reflexes – the soul’s main function is thought, a uniquely human attribute 1 Philosophical Developments • A Question: How are mind and body related? • Materialism: Thomas Hobbes (1588-1679) – mind is a product of the brain – soul is not involved in human behavior • Empiricism: – knowledge and intellect are acquired – sensory experiences produce elementary ideas – elementary ideas become associated into complex thought and ideas Philosophical Developments • Another Question: Empiricism vs. Nativism • Nativism is the view that elementary ideas are innate • If knowledge is innate – What

DeRobertis1 and Andrew M. Bland2 Abstract Seligman and Csikszentmihalyi launched the “positive” psychology movement with a conspicuously negative strategy: the seemingly deliberate character assassination of humanistic psychology. Their critical remarks, not at all original, appeared designed to distance positive psychology from humanistic psychology and (ironically) to paint a portrait of positive psychology as being more original than it really was. Seligman has since apologized for disparaging humanistic psychology, and this article assesses both the content of that apology and its value in the ongoing discussion concerning the relationship between humanistic and positive psychologies. The apology was found to be superficial and laced with more extensive explicit and implicit negative assessments of humanistic psychology. These assessments were found to range from theoretically biased partial truths to completely unfounded claims, all unworthy of scientific discourse and in need of fact checking. The unabated dissemination of these arguably damning and unsubstantiated views is framed in terms of van Kaam’s observations

  • Learned Helplessness in Humans: Critique and Reformulation
    Journal of Abnormal Psychology 1978, Vol. 87, No. 1, 49-74 Learned Helplessness in Humans: Critique and Reformulation Lyn Y. Abramson and Martin E. P. Seligman University of Pennsylvania John D. Teasdale Oxford University, England The learned helplessness hypothesis is criticized and reformulated. The old hypothesis, when applied to learned helplessness in humans, has two major problems: (a) It does not distinguish between cases in which outcomes are uncontrollable for all people and cases in which they are uncontrollable only - for some people (univervsal vs. personal helplessness), and (b) it does not explain when helplessness is general and when specific, or when chronic and when acute. A reformulation based on a revision of attribution theory is pro- posed to resolve these inadequacies. According to the reformulation, once people perceive noncontingency, they attribute their helplessness to a cause. This cause can be stable or unstable, global or specific, and internal or external. The attribution chosen influences whether expectation of future helplessness will be chronic or acute, broad or narrow, and whether helplessness will lower self-esteem or not. The implications of this reformulation of human helplessness for the learned helplessness model of depression are outlined. Over the past 10 years a large number of 1967). Paralleling the experimental findings experiments have shown that a variety of orga- with dogs, the debilitating consequences of nisms exposed to uncontrollable events often uncontrollable events have been demonstrated exhibit subsequent disruption of behavior (see in cats (Masserman, 1971; Seward & Hum- Maier & Seligman, 1976, for a review of the phrey, 1967; Thomas & Dewald, 1977), in infrahuman literature).
