"Two opposed points of view," John B. Watson wrote in 1925, "are still dominant in American psychological thinking: introspective or subjective psychology, and behaviorism or objective psychology."

"Two opposed points of view," John B. Watson wrote in 1925, "are still dominant in American psychological thinking: introspective or subjective psychology, and behaviorism or objective psychology." His statement is still true today. Reacting against traditional psychology's emphasis on feelings and introspection, and its lack of precise categories, Watson proposed a methodological approach to psychological problems that would be logical, precise, and scientific. Consciousness, he believed, was not a usable hypothesis: the proper subject of human psychology is the behavior of the human being. Behaviorism aimed to free psychology from elusive, vague concepts and establish it as a true natural science.
Autorenporträt
John B. Watson (1878-1958) es recordado por fundar el conductismo clásico (a veces denominado watsoniano o metodológico), un enfoque que hace hincapié en el estudio de la conducta observable por encima de los estados mentales internos. Su famoso experimento del pequeño Alberto demostró que las emociones podían ser respuestas condicionadas, ilustrando cómo las conductas pueden moldearse a través de factores ambientales. Watson creía que la psicología debía centrarse en las acciones observables y rechazaba la introspección. Su trabajo influyó enormemente en campos como la educación, la publicidad y el estudio del desarrollo infantil. Más adelante, tras abandonar la vida académica, aplicó los principios conductistas al marketing y la publicidad, siendo pionero de la psicología moderna del consumidor.
