Can someone please explain the multiple theories of psychology?

Asked By: Erinkidd01 18-21, F 3 years ago

The ones I have are...

1)Biological

2)Psychological

3)Behaviorist

4)Humanist

5)Cognitive

6)Sociocultural

7)Evolutionary

It would be awesome if you could pick a problem and explain it using each of the perspectives...or direct me to a website that can help. I've tried to find one, but I'm completely lost. Thanks a ton.

I am not a psychologists but this is my take of it. According to the behavorists you are conditioned your responces by negative and positive stimiuli. In the biological point of view, your parents and inheritance dictates your behavior. In the biological point of view, it is innate and you could not adapt if your genes are not programmed for a specific response. Sociocultural is the study analyzing behavior that is dictated by community you live in.

I think you might need a college education.

No. No one can do that. It's just too elaborate and complex. You'd have to reenlist in education to do that, go for your master's or something.
