Briefly describe the advances and changes that occurred in psychological thinking after World War II

What will be an ideal response?

As a result of the demands of the war, psychology became a profession as well as a science. In addition, in the 1950s and 1960s, advances in the study of cognition and the physiological basis of behavior led psychology to an increased interest in the relationships between bodily structures and biochemical processes and helped it to return to its roots through a return to an interest in mental processes. In the 1980s, Western psychology developed a greater interest in how cultural factors influence behavior. The 1990s saw the emergence of the evolutionary psychology, and in the beginning of the twenty-first century, positive psychology became an influential force in psychology.
