What is Psychology worksheet - Free Printable

Let’s go step by step to fill in the blanks using the word bank provided.

---

Step 1: Question 1
“Psychology is derived from two Greek words ______ and ______ meaning science and study of a subject.”
→ We know “psychology” comes from *psyche* (mind) and *logos* (study/science).
✔ Answer: Psyche, Logos

---

Step 2: Question 2
“______ and ______ are a few mental processes.”
→ Mental processes include thinking, remembering, feeling, etc. From the word bank: *Remembering*, *Thinking*.
✔ Answer: Remembering, Thinking

---

Step 3: Question 3
“Experiences are ______ in Nature.”
→ Experiences are personal and not easily measured — so they’re *subjective*.
✔ Answer: subjective

---

Step 4: Question 4
“The first Laboratory of psychology was opened by ______.”
→ Wilhelm Wundt opened the first psychology lab in 1879.
✔ Answer: Wilhelm Wundt

---

Step 5: Question 5
“Two most sought-after emerging disciplines which continuously borrow from Psychology are ______ and ______.”
→ Looking at word bank: *Neuroscience* and *Computer science* both heavily use psychology concepts.
✔ Answer: Neuroscience, Computer science

---

Step 6: Question 6
“______ influenced and infused physics in the ______ Model.”
→ Descartes worked on mind-body dualism and had ideas that touched physics; he used a mechanical model. The phrase likely refers to “Descartes” and “hypothetico-deductive” model? Wait — actually, Descartes proposed a mechanistic view of the body, but “hypothetico-deductive” is more about scientific method. Let’s check again.

Actually, looking carefully — perhaps it’s “Descartes” and then “mechanistic”? But “mechanistic” isn’t in the word bank. Hmm.

Wait — maybe it’s “Descartes” and “hypothetico-deductive”? Not quite fitting.

Alternatively — could it be “Newton”? No, Newton isn’t in the list.

Wait — let’s look at the word bank again: we have “Descartes”, “hypothetico-deductive”. Maybe the sentence is: “Descartes influenced and infused physics in the hypothetico-deductive Model.” That doesn’t sound right.

Actually — I think there might be a mistake here. Perhaps it’s supposed to be “Descartes” and “mechanistic”, but since “mechanistic” isn’t available, maybe this one is tricky.

Wait — another angle: In some contexts, Descartes is linked with rationalism and deduction — so maybe “hypothetico-deductive” fits as his approach? Though it’s anachronistic.

But given the options, and since “Descartes” is the only philosopher-scientist listed besides Wundt, and “hypothetico-deductive” is a model of science — perhaps that’s what they want.

Alternatively — maybe it’s “Descartes” and nothing else? But there are two blanks.

Wait — rereading: “influenced and infused physics in the ______ Model.” So second blank is type of model.

Looking back — perhaps it’s “Descartes” and “mechanistic” — but not in word bank.

Hold on — maybe I misread. Let me check the word bank again:

Word bank has: Dweck, hypothetico-deductive, subjective, Remembering, Psyche, Logos, Wilhelm Wundt, Neuroscience, Descartes, Thinking, Affective neuroscience, social, Psychoneuroimmunology, Computer science.

Ah! There’s no “mechanistic”. So perhaps the intended answer is:

“Descartes influenced and infused physics in the hypothetico-deductive Model.” — even if historically inaccurate, it may be what the worksheet expects.

Alternatively — maybe it’s “Newton” but he’s not there.

Wait — another thought: Sometimes “Cartesian” mechanics is referred to, and Descartes did contribute to physics. And “hypothetico-deductive” is a general scientific method — perhaps they mean he used that approach?

I think for the sake of completing the worksheet with given words, we’ll go with:

✔ Answer: Descartes, hypothetico-deductive

*(Note: This might be slightly off historically, but based on available choices, this is the best fit.)*

Step 7: Question 7
“Psychology as a social science discipline focuses on humans as ______ beings.”
→ Social sciences focus on humans in society → “social” beings.
✔ Answer: social

---

Step 8: Question 8
“Recent studies in ______ have clearly shown that there is relationship between mind and behavior.”
→ Brain/mind connection → *Neuroscience* or *Affective neuroscience*. Since “affective” relates to emotion/behavior, and “neuroscience” is broader — but both could work. However, “Affective neuroscience” specifically studies emotions and behavior.
But let’s see — the sentence says “mind and behavior” — affective neuroscience deals with emotional aspects of behavior. Neurosciences overall do too.

But note: “Affective neuroscience” is in the word bank, and it’s more specific to mind-emotion-behavior links.

However, “Neuroscience” alone is also correct and simpler.

Looking at question 9 — it mentions immune system, so probably Q8 is general neuroscience.

Wait — actually, recent studies showing mind-behavior link — yes, neuroscience.

But let’s pick Neuroscience — it’s straightforward.

✔ Answer: Neuroscience

*(Alternative: Affective neuroscience — but Neuroscience is sufficient and matches better with general context.)*

---

Step 9: Question 9
“A new discipline called ______ emphasizes the played by the mind in strengthening the immune system.”
→ Clearly: *Psychoneuroimmunology* — study of how psychological factors affect nervous and immune systems.
✔ Answer: Psychoneuroimmunology

---

Step 10: Question 10
“______ was concerned with children who gave up too easily when faced with a difficult problem or failure.”
→ Carol Dweck studied mindset — especially learned helplessness and growth vs fixed mindset in children. She observed kids giving up easily.
✔ Answer: Dweck

Now, let’s compile all answers in order:

1. Psyche, Logos
2. Remembering, Thinking
3. subjective
4. Wilhelm Wundt
5. Neuroscience, Computer science
6. Descartes, hypothetico-deductive
7. social
8. Neuroscience *(or Affective neuroscience — but we’ll stick with Neuroscience for simplicity unless specified otherwise)*
→ Wait, let’s double-check: If we used “Neuroscience” in Q5, can we use it again? Probably okay — but let’s see if “Affective neuroscience” fits better here.

Actually, re-reading Q8: “relationship between mind and behavior” — affective neuroscience is about emotions affecting behavior — very direct. Whereas general neuroscience includes brain structure, cells, etc.

So perhaps Affective neuroscience is better for Q8.

And for Q5, “Neuroscience” and “Computer science” still make sense.

So revise:

Q5: Neuroscience, Computer science
Q8: Affective neuroscience

Yes, that avoids repetition and uses more precise term where needed.

Also, Q6: Still unsure — but with available words, Descartes + hypothetico-deductive is the only combo that fits grammatically.

Final compiled answers:

1. Psyche, Logos
2. Remembering, Thinking
3. subjective
4. Wilhelm Wundt
5. Neuroscience, Computer science
6. Descartes, hypothetico-deductive
7. social
8. Affective neuroscience
9. Psychoneuroimmunology
10. Dweck
