Participants were given carefully controlled
stimuli
e.g.
metronome
, making the recording of data more scientific.
The same stimulus was used each time, allowing for
replication
under
standardised
conditions, hence producing reliable data.
Introspection is based on
subjective
analysis of your own thoughts, which is not
scientific.
Introspection can be used to describe both an
informal reflection
process and a more
formalised experimental
approach.
Introspection
involves informally
examining
our own
internal
thoughts and
feelings.
When we reflect on our
thoughts
,
emotions
, and
memories
and examine what they mean, we are engaging in
introspection.
The term
introspection
is also used to describe a
research
technique that was first developed by psychologist Wilhelm
Wundt.
Introspection
is also known as
experimental
self-observation.
Wundt's
technique involved training people to
carefully
and objectively as possible
analyse
the
content
of their own
thoughts.
Wundt
developed the technique of
‘introspection’.
This is how people gain
knowledge
about their own mental and
emotional
states.
Introspection
is the process by which a person gains
knowledge
about their own
mental
and
emotional
states.
Wundt
wanted to make
psychological
analysis more
scientific.
Wundt
wanted to
standardise
procedures for studying
mental
processes.
Wundt
tried to
isolate
the structure of
consciousness
which became known as
structuralism.
Wundt
is believed to be the
founder
of modern
Psychology.
