3. FRQ#2
2. In thinking of the question of nature versus nurture, explain how each of the following schools of psychology would address this debate. • Behaviorism • Biological perspective • Personality psychologists • Developmental psychologists

4. 1 point: Behaviorists believe that our actions are determined by conditioning, such as what we were rewarded or punished for in our past. Behaviors are learned, thus behaviorists believe that our interaction with our environment, rather than genetic influences, determines our actions.

5. 1 point: The biological perspective studies how brain chemistry, hormones, and heredity influence our thinking and behavior. This perspective emphasizes the nature side of the nature–nurture debate.

6. Personality psychologists believe that some personality traits are strongly influenced by genetics, but personality traits are also influenced by our environment. These theorists might focus on twin studies and other research studies that address the relative contributions of biology and the environment to our personality.

7. Developmental psychologists focus on how our development is influenced by both sides of the debate. Specifically, they might examine what kinds of traits and tendencies infants are born with (such as a specific temperament) and how this early genetic potential is changed through environmental influences.
