What is the opposite of reductionist?

Reductionist as it tries to explain complex behaviour with one influence. It doesn’t consider how other factors interact together in influencing behaviour which reduces the validity of the approach/debate. Discovering that certain behaviours are inherited (e.g. personality, intelligence) may not be helpful. …

Reductionism is a theory in psychology centered on reducing complex phenomena into their most basic parts. … The purpose of reductionism is to simplify psychological events and processes by looking at their smallest elements, thus “reducing” something rather complex into its most simple.

Thus, the ideas that physical bodies are collections of atoms or that a given mental state (e.g., one person’s belief that snow is white) is identical to a particular physical state (the firing of certain neurons in that person’s brain) are examples of reductionism.

When patterns and phenomena are forced into confined structuredness, reduction can always help break whatever it is into its known parts (or its yet to be named parts). But ultimately, the biggest shortcoming of reductionism is in its inability to expand our understanding or interpret anything that is unstructured.

holism

Reductionism is the belief that human behavior can be explained by breaking it down into smaller component parts. … Reductionism is based on the scientific assumption of parsimony – that complex phenomena should be explained by the simplest underlying principles possible.

CBT is accused of being reductionist: it places too much emphasis on cognitions. Often, a person with depression has relationships and a social environment that don’t just seem bad to them, but which are objectively bad.

Scientific reductionism is not a viable theory in modern science, because the processes governing the universe are so complex and intertwined that they can never be understood fully. Despite this, reductionist thinking does have some uses, and allows complex processes to be teased apart and understood.

Reductionism is when complex behaviours are separated into simpler components, in contrast, the holism approach looks at it as a whole. Reductionism can overlook other causes behind behaviour and is in danger of over-simplifying human behaviour.

Humanistic Psychology Where behaviorism had taken a reductionist approach to explain human behavior, humanist thinkers are more interested in looking at behavior holistically.

Lifestyle causes of laziness For example, a poor diet, too much alcohol and lack of good quality sleep can all leave you feeling tired and unmotivated. Make small changes to your lifestyle to try and improve how you feel. … Stress can also lead to poor sleep, which in turn can make you feel tired and lacking motivation.
