Structuralism (psychology)

Common card · No. 276508

Structuralism in psychology (also structural psychology) is a theory of consciousness developed by Edward Bradford Titchener (1867–1927). This theory was challenged later in the 20th century. Structuralists seek to analyze the adult mind (the total sum of experience from birth to the present) in terms of the simplest definable components of experience and then to find how these components fit together to form more complex experiences as well as how they correlate to physical events. To do this, structuralists employ introspection: self-reports of sensations, views, feelings, and emotions.
