Question:
Describe a current event or topic of public interest. Suggest how at least two of the major perspectives in contemporary psychology might shed light usefully on the topic. The major perspectives of psychology are discussed in chapter One and are Psychoanalytic, Behavioral, Humanistic, Cognitive, Evolutionary, Biological, Sociocultural, Biopsychosocial. In your post describe the event and discuss how the perspectives as well.
This example can be any event or topic. Example: School violence —a behavioral approach might focus on a history of being reinforced for aggressive behavior, or on having witnessed media models being reinforced for aggressive behavior. A humanistic approach might suggest that violent students are often loners and relatively low-status or powerless in their peer group and thus resort to drastic measures to gain power, control, or respect.
