Let us think about psychology as a vehicle that tell stories…In other words, psychology tells the story of diverse viewpoints of understanding and interpreting human behaviors such as the theories of:

Structuralism…Functionalism…Behaviorism…Gestalt…Humanism…Positive Psychology

*Each  theory created concepts that support its theory…such as…

Determinism, Free will, self-actualization, social norms, cultural relativity  and stimulus

*As human beings evolved so did the perspective on how to evaluate and interpret human behavior…for example,

*****The psychological perspective.  This perspective involves the traditional view that behavior is shaped by psychological processes

******The sociocultural perspective.  This perspective  focuses on the importance of social and cultural experiences that influences the behavior

*****The biological perspective.  This perspective attempts to explain behavior in terms of underlying biological principles…

*****The cognitive perspective. This perspective believes much of the human behavior can be explained/understood through the mental process of thinking, understanding, memory, decision making, judgement, and perception…

Thus, storytelling through psychology tells the stories  of diverse viewpoints of how a psychologist can  understand and interpret human behaviors
