Knowing what the area believes Biological Cognitive Developmental Social Individual Differences Behaviourist perspective Psychodynamic perspective Medical Model

Which area / perspective? Developmental believes that behaviour is caused by level of development reached (age / experience). These levels or stages are predetermined and are inevitable.

Which area / perspective? Social All human behaviour occurs in a social context and is influenced by the actual, imagined or implied presence of others. Other people & the environment influence our behaviour and thought processes.

Which area / perspective? Psychodynamic Behaviour is influenced by the interaction (dynamism) of drives and forces within the personality (psyche). A lot of behaviour is due to the unconscious personality. Personality is shaped by relationships, experience and conflict over time, particularly during childhood.

Which area / perspective? Behaviourist believe that Psychology is a science and the only way to be objective is to observe / measure behaviour (i.e. not infer anything about mental processes).

Which area / perspective? Cognitive states that internal mental processes are important in understanding behaviour. Humans are like information processors, with information being inputted, processed together with schemas, PEI and outputted. The output or behaviour is due to the mental processing which occurs.

Which area / perspective? Medical Model Mental health problems are due to physiological reasons – the body (B.C.G) is causing the behaviour and the only way to treat it is the medical methods, such as medication.

Which area / perspective? Individual Differences All behaviour can be measured to identify the differences between every human. Psychologists just have to be thoughtful to HOW they will measure the behaviours.
