Nature vs nurture

• Behaviourism and Social learning theory


  Regards babies as 'blank slates' at birth and suggest that all behaviour comes about through learned associations, reinforcement or in the case of social learning theory, imitation and observation
• Biological approach


  States 'anatomy is destiny' and behaviour is a genetic blueprint that we inherit from our parents
• Psychodynamic approach


  Saw our behaviour driven by biological drives/instincts yet the cause of these hidden thoughts was the relationship with parents to be a fundamental role
• Humanistic approach


  Regards parents, friends and wider society as having critical impact on the person's self concept
• Cognitive approach

  Recognises our info processing abilities and schema are innate yet these are constantly defines through experience
