The polygons from left to right indicate time progression. The first polygon represents the evolutionary history of man. Many exciting and documented findings on the physical and cultural evolution of man have now appeared in the literature. It is obvious to most psychologists that the evolution of species and the current genetic pool are important in understanding behavior. The factors and mechanism of conception, the period of gestation, and the constructs for the entire life span of development are yielding to scientific understanding and control.
All attributes grow, decay, oscillate or change during time spans.
We can even predict, to some extent, parameters for future time slices. Understanding of constructs at all levels along with their interrelationships will be a main task of the courses in Introduction to Psychology and Research Methods. You may visit each of my other major worlds by going to the site map or the individual buttons located at the top and bottom of most pages. I have a few dozen of typed and sketched models for substantive constructs and paradigms for research methods but it is taking more time than I wish to transfer these personal worlds to the computer. A few examples of expanded models of the various constructs and paradigms are given on other pages but as yet the bulk of materials is not yet available at this site.
