Biological psychology
tries to explain how we think, feel and behave in terms of
physical factors
within the body.
The approach investigates how
biological
structures
and processes within the body impacts on behaviour.
Much of human behaviour has a
physiological
cause which may be
genetically
or environmentally altered.
This is extremely
“Nature”
on the
Nature vs Nurture
debate.
Psychologists
should study the
brain
,
nervous system
and other biological systems (e.g.
hormones
,
chemicals
) acting on the brain.
The
Biological
approach is rooted in science and uses extremely
scientific
methods.
