[ send me this paper ]
Reliability and validity, two crucial dimensions of empirical measurement, enable researchers to say that whatever they are measuring can be relied upon to be dependable, and that whatever is measured is being measured accurately. Reliability can be proved, while validity must be inferred and can never be perfectly verified. Yet, despite this probability, credible and worthwhile research is still performed.

Sigmund Freud and Religion
[ send me this paper ]
A 6 page paper Freud’s position on the use and value of religion. Freud held that religion could be used both as a justification for behavior and for restraints against it. He conceded that established religions’ moral teachings could be beneficial, but he also believed that individuals should find their own behavioral motivations within themselves rather than relying on any religion to instruct them how to conduct their own lives. Freud’s view of religion is that it provides a framework in which to address the Oedipal complex, react to infantile helplessness and exercise paranoid wish fulfillment (Freud and religion). In short, Freud’s view of religion is that it could provide an environment for the weak in which individuals could come to terms with some of these issues, but that the nature of religion would prevent such insight from occurring.

Sigmund Freud: Repression Hypothesis
[ send me this paper ]
7 pages in length. A majority of the themes and issues found in contemporary psychology treatments have their fundamental basis in Sigmund Freud's discoveries. The renowned psychoanalyst, who did not hold the most favorable reputation during his time, was a rich source of insights about sociological issues. His collection of work contained a number of themes that are still relevant in addressing many of today's psychological ills, including the concept of ego as an entity that cannot maintain control over itself; that individual and social psychology are one and the same; that organizations are the result of repressed desires and ambivalent memories of ancient events and that the ego and superego are responsible for housing cultural ideals. Freud's repression hypothesis has been shared by other philosophers who postulate that humanity is little more than a self-centered entity with minimal concern for anything but itself.

Sigmund Freud’s Analysis of Anxiety Attacks
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 4 page paper discussing how Freud would analyze anxiety attacks. Anxiety attacks, panic attacks and anxiety disorders in general have been studied in medicine and psychology for over a century. Sigmund Freud (1856-1939) considered the father of psychoanalysis believed that “anxiety neurosis” and anxiety attacks experienced by individuals resulted from individuals no longer being able to repress impulses which were in conflict or not satisfied during the childhood psychosexual developmental stages. Freud found that anxiety and panic attacks resembled greatly people’s reactions when they were confronted with danger except there would seem to be no danger present. Therefore, Freud would conclude, the danger must be internal and resulting from “failure of repression” in which an individual would be overwhelmed with panic or a phobia. Through psychoanalysis, Freud would attempt with the patient to discover the area of conflict from their past in which their needs were not nurtured or gratified or which had instilled a fear which they had repressed; a repression which could no longer be contained and resulting in anxiety attacks.

Sigmund Freud’s Psychosexual Stages of Development in Relation to Jean Piaget’s Cognitive Stages
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 7 page paper discussing Freud’s psychosexual stages of development as they correspond to Piaget’s cognitive stages. Sigmund Freud and Jean Piaget were developmental psychologists both influenced by the evolutionary concepts introduced by Charles Darwin in that an individual’s psychological, intellectual and emotional development occurs in evolutionary stages from birth into adulthood. Concepts and conflicts experienced within a developmental stage may in fact deter the progression into a further stage resulting in cognitive or psychological difficulties. While Freud’s psychological development stages (oral, anal, phallic, latency and genital) were based on the link between sexual and emotional development, Piaget’s cognitive stages (sensorimotor, preoperational, concrete and formal operations) were based more so on an individual’s mental understanding and the relationships with his or her environment. While the two theories may not appear to be similar in their basic developmental processes, there are certain components which may reinforce or coexist in both theories. Bibliography lists 4 sources.
