Examples Of Biologically Rooted Social Behavior

226 Words1 Page

The section that I chose was about biologically rooted social behavior. Individuals are shaped by previous experiences and genes, which is why we must understand both sides to fully comprehend individuals’ social behaviors. In a psychological standpoint, nature versus nurture reflects on how we shaped ourselves to become who we are today. The book mentions that we are bio-psycho-social organisms, because we consider the interactions of biological, psychological, and social influences. I chose biologically rooted social behavior because it’s interesting how I never realized that all three concepts correlated with each other. For an example, if a person had an abusive relationship in the past, they would be more prone to stress and anxiety attacks.

    Hi Kolby I like how you pointed out that his childhood event could have begun to trigger a stress response that would cause him to be more sensitive to stress in the future. But I also do think it is worth noting that the patient did not seem to remember that the event happened. I would initially expect more of a conscious memory to have an effect on his stress response, but I suppose our subconscious does play a large part in our behavior. I also like how you mentioned his lack of social support from his family.

    These changes may leave victims more vulnerable to depression, addiction and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), the study suggests (Szalavitz). In this experiment, it proved how the people who were diagnosed with a mental illness had a history of abuse from a young age and therefore were immune to different illnesses, putting depression at number one. In addition, most children inherited half of the symptoms of depression which, eventually in the future will branch out to different types of mental illnesses. This proves that parental guidance is necessary for a child’s survival because the child itself is born into the world knowing nothing, and thus, will adapt to the surroundings of the world with the help of their leaders. Furthermore, according to the Canadian Mental Health Association; a complex interplay of genetic, biological, personality and environmental factors causes mental illnesses.
