Psychology’s Perspectives Currently there are six major psychological perspectives that influence the way we question certain topics. Perspectives are NOT in competition with each other and need not contradict. 1. Neuroscience 2. Evolutionary 3. Behavior Genetics 4. Behavioral 5. Cognitive 6. Social-cultural

1. Neuroscience How the body and brain create emotions, memories and sensory experiences Example: Anger Study the brain circuits that trigger the physical states of “being red in the face” or “hot under the collar”

2. Evolutionary How natural selection favors traits that promote the perpetuation of one’s genes. Example: Anger Study how does anger facilitate the survival of genes.

3. Behavior Genetics How much our genes, and our environment, influence our individual differences. Example: Anger How does genetics and experience influence our individual differences in temperament.

4. Behavioral How we learn observable responses. Example: Anger Might study the facial expressions and body gestures that accompany anger, or might attempt to determine which external stimuli result in angry responses or aggressive acts.

5. Cognitive How we process, store, and retrieve information. Example: Anger How our interpretation of a situation affects our anger and how our anger affects our thinking nfQ nfQ

6. Social-cultural How behavior and anger vary across situations and cultures Example: Anger Explore which situations produce the most anger and how expressions of anger vary across cultures.
