Psychology has been an area of interest for a very long time but has been recognized as a science since 1879. explain why it took so long for psychology to be recognized and what things it to get recognized.

It took so long that psychology was recognized because there was no formal approach to the study of behavior. In order to be accepted as a science, psychology had to overcome the influences of religion and astrology for many people believe in these system, in which it cannot be proven.

Moreover, when Wilhelm Wundt set up and organized a laboratory dedicated to the study of human behavior in 1870's in Germany and apply the scientific method to the study of behavior. It was then psychology was accepted.  The thing that help him get it recognized was using the specific method called introspection, which is an examination of one's thoughts and feelings and then recording and measuring them to obtain a credible output.

either two or three

low context culture   (lc.):

association:    

relationships begin and end quickly. many people can be inside one's circle; circle's boundary is not clear.

things get done by following procedures and paying attention to the goal.

one's identity is rooted in oneself and one's accomplishments.

social structure is decentralized; responsibility goes further down (is not concentrated at the top).

interaction:

low use of nonverbal elements. message is carried more by words than by nonverbal means.

verbal message is explicit. context is less important than words.

verbal message is direct; one spells things out exactly.

communication is seen as a way of exchanging information, ideas, and opinions.  

disagreement is depersonalized. one withdraws from conflict with another and gets on with the task. focus is on rational solutions, not personal ones. one can be explicit about another's bothersome behavior.

territoriality:

space is compartmentalized and privately owned; privacy is important, so people are farther apart.

temporality:

things are scheduled to be done at particular times, one thing at a time. what is important is that activity is done efficiently.

change is fast. one can make change and see immediate results.

time is a commodity to be spent or saved. one’s time is one’s own.

learning:

reality is fragmented and compartmentalized. one source of information is used to develop knowledge. thinking is inductive, proceeds from specific to general. focus is on detail.

learning occurs by following explicit directions and explanations of others.

an individual orientation is preferred for learning and problem solving.

speed is valued. how efficiently something is learned is important.
