I need to anwser a question in Psycho and don't get a thing...
4 of 5 behavior pychology prespective
- Biological
- Behavior
- Cognitive
- PsychoDynamic
perspectives.
How would theorists from within each of the 4 perspectives explain aggression?
How am I suppose to anwser this.. =.= Help?
My psychology knowledge is pretty rusty. It's just asking you to associate each perspective with explaining aggression. Example, Behavior would be learning this aggression, a la, violence on tv, in video games etc.Quote:

behavioral - as the field says, based on a person's attitudes and actions that lead to aggression. I guess some behavioral explanations would be pupils dilating, breathing increase, etc.
cognitive - this means mental state of mind. what mentality triggers aggression and such i think. what mood and feeling you get/need to lead to violence and anger.
psychodynamic -
Definition: Psychology. any clinical approach to personality, as Freud's, that sees personality as the result of a dynamic interplay of conscious and unconscious factors.
based on the definition, i would guess it has to do with the person's personality, so its related to behavioral and cognitive field imo. what kind of personality is prone to aggression and whatnot.
just think them all through. should be pretty straight forward if you know what the question is asking you.
