Introspection In Subway
I have noticed that when I am in any subway station and I hear the service trains (the ones that are red or yellow and smell like roosted metal) approaching the station I get tensed. When the train arrives to the station I get nervous and I turn around to avoid seeing it because for a reason that I do not know the train makes me feel uncomfortable and I get anxious. I feel relieve when the trains leaves the station.

Explain how the founder you have selected would interpret this first example
Wilhelm Wundt would interpret the example with the theory of introspection that is limited to what he calls the elements of psychic life which means the immediate and simple perceptions and feelings aroused by colors, sounds, lights and other stimuli

    Psychology saw its first use of experimental methods when Wilhelm Wundt devised a machine that measured human reaction times (1879). Wundt believed that with his machine he was indirectly measuring the components of the mind. Wundt's student Edward Titchener pioneered Structuralism, a school of thought in psychology aimed at discovering the underlying structure of the mind. Titchener was famous for utilizing the introspective method to uncover certain psychological phenomena. Introspection called on people to examine their interior lives in order to describe how a certain stimulus made them act or feel.…

    The Mind-Body problem

    As modern psychology evolved, everything from sense perception and motor reactions was studied, and this study gave birth to experimental psychology. Experimental psychologists were interested in learning what was true about human consciousness in general. While some philosophers claimed that psychology could never become a science, psychologist Wundt believed that experimentation could be used to study the basic processes of the mind. Modern psychology then took two routes, the route of the mind and the route of the body. The route of the mind outlined psychology mainly through philosophy, while the route of the body traced the evolution of it through biology. The technique introspection was then introduced and used by St. Augustine. Augustine used this…

    Our sensations may differ from those of another person because, to mention only three, our seeing apparatus or hearing apparatus or smelling apparatus is more acute or less acute than his. More pronounced is the difference in our perceptions from those of a friend; for our individual experiences may influence our perceptions very much. Thus one person might perceive the same situation to be rather favourable. Yet the actual facts might be that the situation would have little effect on either of them.…
