Genes contribute to about half of individual variations in antisocial behavior, according to twin studies. While genes may increase predisposition, they do not determine behavior alone. Studies found genetics account for 50% of antisocial behavior, but less impact for separated twins, showing environment also influences behavior. Research links low-activity MAOA genes interacting with childhood trauma to increased violence, suggesting genetics and environment combine to impact antisocial behavior.
Social learning theories - Personalities theoriesManu Melwin Joy
social learning theory was proposed by Neal E. Miller and John Dollard in 1941. The proposition of social learning was expanded upon and theorized by Canadian psychologist Albert Bandura from 1962 until the present. . Bandura provided his concept of self-efficacy in 1977, while he refuted the traditional learning theory for understanding learning.
Attributions are inferences that people make about the causes of events and behavior. People make attributions in order to understand their experiences. Attributions strongly influence the way people interact with others.

Comparative Analysis
The purpose of this presentation is to compare two research studies.
The topic of the comparison is the effect of parental conflict on adolescent adjustment.
Research includes four studies of which two will be compared.
Study A – Forehand, McCombs, Long, Brody, and Fauber
Conducted by: Rex Forehand, Amanda McCombs, Nicholas Long, Gene Brody, and Robert Fauber
Title: Early adolescent adjustment to recent parental divorce: The role of interparental conflict and adolescent sex as mediating variables
Date of study: December 30, 1987
Purpose of the study
To determine if a relationship exists between parental conflict after divorce and adolescent adjustment and whether gender of the child influences the outcome.
Study Summary
Studied 96 adolescents aged 11 – 15 years old.
Participants were equally divided between gender.
Used teacher completed measures of behavior to assess:
Social and social withdraw behavior.
Cognitive function.
Externalization of problems.
Study sought to determine if parental conflict was causal to poor adolescent adjustment and if there were any differences between male and female adolescents.
Study Design
This study was conducted using a correlational design.
Researchers conducted study to determine if relationships between high parental conflict and adolescent adjustment existed.
Researchers compared several groups of adolescents from homes with intact parents, divorced parents, high conflict, and low conflict to determine relationship.
No changes were made within the groups to affect an outcome.
Method
Original sample size: 170
Participants included: 96 adolescents equally divided by gender and their mothers
Participants were recruited through notices, fliers, direct mail advertising, and local media advertising.
Participants were selectively placed in eight groups of 12 students.
Groups were broken down by socioeconomic status, parental marital status, parental conflict (high vs. low), and gender.
Parental conflict was determined using the O’Leary-Porter Scale. High conflict was defined as means lower than 30; low conflict was defined as means higher than 30.
Findings were based on surveys completed by the child, parent, and teacher and observational sessions.
Method II
Several survey instruments were utilized in the study:
O’Leary-Porter Scale – determinant of level of parental conflict.
> 30 – High conflict family
< 30 – Low conflict family
Married family average mean – 30
Four groups were classified low conflict – mean 34
Four groups were classified high conflict – mean 24
Teacher’s Rating Scale of Child’s Actual Competence (TRS) – assesses the teacher’s judgment of actual competence of the child.
The Revised Behavior Problem Checklist Subscales Conduct Disorder and Anxiety Withdrawal (RBPC) – used to assess internalization and externalization of problems.
Method III

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

2. I.B. Learning Outcomes
■ I can explain how much our genes impact our
behavior.
■ Possible Essay Prompt:To what extent do genetics
impact human behavior?
3. ToWhat Extent
True NotTrue
Consider the merits or otherwise of an argument or concept. Opinions and
conclusions should be presented clearly and supported with appropriate
evidence and sound argument.
4. Behavioral Genetics
■ The study of how the both genetics and
the environment contribute to individual
variations in human behavior.
■ Genes do not cause behavior, they create
a predisposition towards it.
5. Definition of a Gene
■ Genes are the working subunits of DNA. Each gene
contains a particular set of instructions, usually coding
for a particular protein or for a particular function.
6. Inheritance
■ Each offspring inherits traits from their parents.
■ 46 Chromosomes – 23 from Mom, 23 from Dad
■ ~20,000-25,000 genes
7. Key ideas about Genetics
■ Genes that we inherit from our parents give rise to
physiological functions which contribute to physical and
behavioral characteristics.
■ One Gene does not lead to a behavior, it can be a
building block towards that behavior.
9. Twin Studies
■ Identical Genetic Make Up
■ Different Environments
■ Look for similarities and differences between monozygotic
twins
■ Nature & Nurture
■ Is It All In the Genes?
10. Raine & Baker (2007)
■ Aim:To investigate the impact of genetics on antisocial behavior
(bullying, cruelty, aggression, etc.).
■ Method:
– Participants: 1,210 twins in California.
– Gave a behavioral survey to the twins, their parents, and their
teachers of the twins to measure for antisocial behavior.
– Used a statistical measure to compare the rankings of fraternal and
identical twins’ correlations.
11. Raine & Baker (2007)
■ Findings: Regardless of the reports they used (twins,
parents, or teachers) the results always showed a 50%
heritability rating.
■ Conclusion: About half of the antisocial behavior of
the participants could be traced back to genetics.
■ Explanation?CriticalThinking?
12. Grove et al. (1990)
■ Aim:To measure the genetic impacts on antisocial
behavior.
■ Method:
– Participants: 32 sets of separated identical twins.
– Conducted tests, questionnaires, and surveys to
measure antisocial behavior in each individual.
13. Grove et al (1990)
■ Findings:
– Adults: 21% of antisocial behavior was attributed to
genetics.
– Children: 41% of antisocial behavior was attributed to
genetics.
■ Conclusion: While genetics play an important role in shaping
antisocial behavior, the environment plays a larger role.
■ Explanation? CriticalThinking?
14. Serotonin
■ A neurotransmitter with the function of stabilizing mood and
maintaining “balance” in the brain.
■ Low levels of serotonin have been linked to depression,
anxiety, and other personality disorders.
15. MAO-A Gene
■ Codes for Serotonin in the Brain.
– Low Activity: Low amounts of Serotonin
– High Activity: High Amounts of Serotonin
■ Impacts the development of the Amygdala.
■ Also known as the “Warrior Gene” because those who
have a variation of it do not feel the calming effects of
serotonin.
16. Ferguson et al. (2011)
■ Aim:To investigate the relationships between the MAOA
gene, exposure to violence, & violent behavior.
■ Method:
– Participants: 398 Males in New Zealand who had been
demonstrated with Antisocial Behavior.
– Performed a genetic test when they were 28-30 years old.
– Surveyed the men for exposure to violence/trauma as
children & their own violent behaviors.
17. Ferguson et al. (2011) cont.
■ Findings:
– Those who had Low-Activity MAOA Gene were significantly
more likely to commit violent crimes than men with the High-
ActivityGene if they had experienced trauma.
■ Conclusion
– Low-Activity MAOA Gene &Trauma increase the rates of violent
behavior.
■ Explanation? CriticalThinking?
18. Antisocial Personality Disorder
■ A condition that leads to a general lack of empathy for others, a
disregard for the rights of others, a lack of guilt, and often a disregard
for laws or social morals.
■ Psychopaths: Lack of connections with others but are able to present
charming personalities. Often times very successful and can appear
normal. Crimes are often highly calculated.
■ Sociopath: Easily agitated and nervous. Can often make limited
connections with others. Holding down jobs or gaining an education
is difficult. Crimes are often disorganized and spontaneous.
19. Questions to Consider.
■ Should violent psychopaths be punished more or less
severely if their behavior can be blamed on brain
differences or genes?
■ To what extent is nature or nurture responsible for
violent crimes?
■ To what extent are crimes determined or the result of
free will?
■ To what extent do genetics impact violent behavior?
