nature vs nurture

What do the best explanations most likely lean towards in terms of this debate

The interactionist approach

E.g diathesis model or epigenetics

What is the Behaviourts stance in this approach

Extreme nurture

Humans are blanks slates

From our environment

• conditioing (operant and classical)

• Reinforcement (postotve and negative and punishment)

Internal-

• nothing - we are blank slates

What is the SLT approach

What is from the environment and internal?

Mainly nurture

Environment

• modelling people around us (live and symbolic models)

• Vicarious reinforcement

• Identification

• Imitation

Innate

• identification and role models

• We pay attention to the observation to be able to imitate (mediational processes) and we have to retain it

What is the biological stance

Strongly nurture

Environment

• nothing

Inate

• genotype/phenotype

• Neuro chemsitry

• Evolution

• Heredity

What is the cognitive approach

Interactiosnt

Environment

• inferences (models and computers) based on educated guesses and assumptions

• Schema develop trough our past experiences and those around us

Innate

• schema is storageof the world and help organise our incoming thoughts and so affect our perceptions

• Internal mental processes (biological)

• 
  

What is the psychodynamic approach

What part of the approach includes booths ides of the debate and how and give examples of how this part gives both

INTERACTIONIST

Innate

• unconscious

• Structure of personality

• Defence mechanisms

Environment

• superego from same sex parent - morality principle

The psychosexual stage incorporates both

There is an innate sexual drive though the stages

But the child navigates the stages depending on environment and parents

Each stage presents conflict between the biological urges and environment (e.g toilet trading during anal stages)

And if parent is too strict the child can become fixated in the stage due to environmental frustaraion

The environment u experience as a child affects how u act when older

What is the humanistic approach take on this

INTERACTIONSIT

Innnate

• free will

• Conscious experience (ability to choose how we behave without the influence of external factors)

• Innate desire to acheive our potential (personal growth)

Environment

• hierarchy of needs (motivation of behaviour)

• Self actualisation (to acheive we must gain physiological needs first) to then gain personal growth

• Congruence - ideal self comes from the environment

• Conditions of worth come from those around us like parents
