biological approach

    Cards (11)

    • behaviour driven by biological, physiological forces - genes, neurotransmitters in biological structures and processes
    • environmental triggers
    • behaviour is the result of innate biological factors
    • creates universal laws using human physiological explanations
    • genetic inheritance
    • genetic vulnerability
    • interactionism - our environment interacts with our biology and visa versa
    • twin studies
      • monozygotic (identical) 100% genes shared
      • dyzygotic (non identical) 50% genes shared
    • ✔️scientific methods - reliable data
    • X biologically deterministic - sees behaviour as governed by internal biological causes where we have no control
    • X biologically reductionist - breaks behaviour down into biological processes
