Causes of Abnormal
Behavior
Dr Vandana Gaur
Assistant Professor
Department of Psychology
Paradigms
(def)-a set of shared assumptions that
include a theory and how data should be
collected.
Four Basic Paradigms:
– Biological
– Psychodynamic
– Cognitive-Behavioral
– Humanistic
Biological
Definition: abnormal behavior is caused by
biological abnormalities
Cause of Abnormality: Genes, neurochemistry,
head injury.
Treatment: Medication or other physical
treatments (ECT).
Focus: Functions of the body and brain
structures.
Psychodynamic Paradigm
Definition: abnormal behavior stems from
unconscious conflicts from early childhood
experiences.
– Id – unconscious psychic energy strives to satisfy
basic drives to survive, reproduce, and aggress 
Pleasure principle
– Ego – largely conscious, executive part of personality
 Reality Principal
– Superego- voice of conscious forces the ego to
consider not only the real but, the ideal. Operates on
conscious and unconscious level.
Cause: Early Childhood Experiences
Treatment: Psychoanalysis
Focus: Unconscious Mind
Cognitive Behavioral
Definition: All behavior is the result of
different forms of learning.
-Classical Conditioning
Operant Conditioning
Social Learning
Cause: Experiences (Nurture)
Treatment: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
Focus: Observable Behavior
Humanistic
Definition: Emphasis on the Present and
Future, and conscious rather than
Unconscious.
Cause: Frustrations in Society
Type of Treatment: Non-directive Therapy
Focus: Free Will
Systems Theory
Def- Integrates causes of abnormal behavior
across biological, psychological and social
factors.
Diathesis-Stress Model and Multiple Risk Factors
Equifinality
Reciprocal Causality
Biological Factors
Neuron-basic building block of the nervous
system.
Components that make up the neuron
– Cell Body-
– Dendrite-
– Axon-
Action Potential
Neuron at rest— semi-permeable barrier between
the fluids that are inside and outside the neuron.
These fluids contain electrically charged particles
called ions. Iinterior fluid is mostly negative and
the exterior fluid is mostly positive.
Resting Potential-.
Polarization-
Depolarization-
Firing Of the Action-Potential
Release of Neurotransmitter-
Return to Resting State-
Neurotransmitters and the
Etiology of Psychopathology –
Biological research has found that there is a
disruption in the functioning of certain
neurotransmitters among some people with
mental disorders.
Cannot currently measure neurotransmitter
levels in a living brain.
Does not imply causality
Causes of disorders are multifactorial
Major Brain Structures
Central and Peripheral Nervous System: Central-
Brain and Spinal Cord. Peripheral-is the sensory and
motor neurons that connect the CNS to the rest of
the body.
Three Main Subdivisions:
Hindbrain
Midbrain
Forebrain
Limbic System
Links the higher mental processes of the
forebrain with the hindbrain and midbrain.
Thalamus
Hypothalamus
Peripheral Nervous system
. Autonomic –
– Sypmathetic-arousing-prepares the body
for emergency
– Parasympathetic- calming- slows
everything down after the emergency
Somatic-
Etiology of Autonomic nervous
system and abnormal behavior:
Overarousal
Underarousal
ENDOCRINE SYSTEM
chemical communication system, that
consists of glands that secrete
hormones into the blood- stream.
 hormones
Behavioral Genetics
Basic Principles of Genetics:
 Genotype-actual genetic structure of the
individual.
Phenotype is the expression of a given
genotype.
Allele
Locus
Dominant/Recessive Inheritance
Family Incidence Studies
Twin Studies-monozygotic vs. dizygotic
twins.
Concordance rates-
Adoption Studies
Genetics and Etiology
Psychological Factors
Species-Typical Characteristics
Attachment Theory
Dominance
Psychological Factors
Temperament
– Opennes to experience
– Conscientiousness
– Extraversion
– Agreeable
– Neuroticism
Emotion
– Positive
– Negative
Learning and Cognition
Social Factors
Social Support
Gender Roles
Prejudice and Poverty
Societal Values
Psychological Factors
Sense of Self
