Question

question 3
which of the following is true of aristotles contribution to psychology?
○ he argued that human behavior is subject to rules and laws.
○ he pointed out that peoples behavior is solely influenced by external stimulation.
○ he held that peoples behavior should be analyzed subjectively and not objectively.
○ he suggested that one could think of behavior in terms of a body and a mind.

Explanation:

• Aristotle contributed to psychology by proposing a dual - aspect view of behavior, considering the body and mind (or soul) in relation to behavior.
• The option “He argued that human behavior is subject to rules and laws” is not a key contribution of Aristotle to psychology in this context.
• The idea that behavior is “solely influenced by external stimulation” goes against Aristotle's views as he recognized internal (psychological) factors too.
• And Aristotle's approach to studying behavior was not about analyzing it subjectively; he aimed for objective understanding, so the option about subjective analysis is incorrect.

Answer:

He suggested that one could think of behavior in terms of a body and a mind.
