aggression

what supports A01 for biological explination of aggression - genetic fctores

the MAOA gene + aggresive genes

What is the evaluations for biological explination of aggression - genetic fctores

• Reaserch support from cases who disabled this gene in mice + addtional support from capsi who studied 500 male children

• If aggresive b is due to genetics then it must be genetically inherited - twin stduies , cocoarao support genetic bssis as she found concordance rate , Adoption studies conducted by med nick studied 14,000 adopts in Denmark

•   Genetic explanation doesn’t take into account aggression can be learnt

• Genetic explanation support biological determines

What is the A01 for Biological explanation of aggression ; neural + hormonal mechanisms in aggression 

• Neural mechanisms ; The role of the limbic system whcihc involves the amygdala + hippocampus , serotonin

• Hormonla mechanisms - the role of testostorne + the basil model of testosterone

What is the evaluation for Biological explanation of aggression ; neural + hormonal mechanisms in aggression 

• limbic system - support of amygdala from pardini in a longitudinal study of violent males . support of hipcuamus from raine who found in MRI scans

• seritonine - support Reaserch from bond who found antidepressant drugs that raises seritonine levels . Mete anyslsis of 2 stduies by raine

• testosterone - gene bais because most studies focus on males . biological reductions as neural + hormonal explination ignore that aggression can be learnt . biological determism as Reaserch argues we are preprogrammed to be aggresive having no free will .
