The (answer) approach is based on the notion that the whole differs from the sum of its individual parts


Problem-solving skills differ from individual to individual. Likewise, approaches to psychology in problem-solving have different approaches.
1. Decompositional
2. Functionalist
3. Structuralist
4. Gestalt
1. A decompositional approach is based on solving the problems by breaking them down into smaller parts.
Like we solve a mathematical problem. A problem is further broken down into simpler problems and solved.
2. A Functionalist notion is that a society is a complex system and the parts of society work together to enhance solidarity and stability which enhances wellbeing.
3. A structuralist notion is that there is a specific structure to a framework that will make up the total concept.
For example: To learn English we must first start with alphabets and then move to words, pronunciation, sentences. So there is a particular structure to this learning.
4. Gestalt view is that the whole is different from the sum of its parts.
