- Debates
- Determinsim VS Free Will
- Determinism: Behaviour is predetermined by external and internal factors
- It is scientific and behaviour can be predicted (Causation)
- People can't be held responsible for their actions
- Free Will: People have a concious choice about life
- People can be held accountable for their actions and it is more ethical
- Unable to study scientifically
- Determinism: Behaviour is predetermined by external and internal factors
- Nature VS Nurture
- Nature: Genetics determine behaviour etc
- A strong stance on either end means it doesnt provide a full explaination of behaviour
- Nurture: The environment determines behaviour etc
- Interactionist approach is a mixture of both
- A strong stance on either end means it doesnt provide a full explaination of behaviour
- Nurture: The environment determines behaviour etc
- Nature: Genetics determine behaviour etc
- Idiographic Vs Nomothetic
- Idiographic: Focuses on the individual
- Allows for a greater understanding of the individual
- Results cannot be generalisable
- Nomothetic: Foucses on a group of people rather than the individual
- Results can be generalisable and can compare groups of people
- Doesn't take into account uniqueness of each individual
- Idiographic: Focuses on the individual
- Reductionism VS Holism
- Reductionism: Best way to explain behaviour is by breaking it down it into simple components
- Scientific because it reduces complex behaviour to a set of variables that can be tested
- Can sometimes oversimplify complex behaviour. Limited in terms of its ability to explain.
- Holism: The best way to explain behaviour is by looking at the system as a whole
- Less scientific which makes it difficult to make predictions
- Take into account complex interactions of phenomena
- Reductionism: Best way to explain behaviour is by breaking it down it into simple components
- Determinsim VS Free Will
