The biological approach focuses on three key areas:
1) Genetic influences on behavior and inheritance of traits from parents.
2) The role of neurotransmitters in the brain and how they guide behavior.
3) Differences in brain structure between areas and between males and females.
Research methods examined include twin and adoption studies to analyze genetic and environmental factors, as well as scanning techniques like PET and MRI to study brain activity and structure. While animal studies provide some insights, they have limitations in applicability to humans given biological differences.

Week 20 psychodynamic intro
The document summarizes the psychodynamic approach developed by Sigmund Freud. It describes the key assumptions that human behavior can be explained by inner conflicts in the mind. The mind is comprised of the conscious and unconscious. Freud proposed that the mind has three parts - the id, ego, and superego. The id operates on pleasure, the superego acts as the conscience based on morality, and the ego mediates between the two. Freud also described psychosexual development stages from oral to genital that center around different erogenous zones as children develop.

Week 21 Psychosexual Stages
This document provides information on the psychodynamic approach to explaining gender development. It outlines the five psychosexual stages from Freud's theory: oral, anal, phallic, latency, and genital. Key concepts discussed are the Oedipus complex, where boys develop desire for their mother; and Electra complex, where girls develop desire for their father. Gender identity formation occurs in the phallic stage through relationships with parents. The document also provides lesson objectives on explaining the psychodynamic approach to gender development and outlining the role of the Oedipus, Electra, and identification in development.

Week 6 A2 Gottesman and Shields
The document discusses twin studies as a method used in psychology to understand the influence of genes and environment on behaviors and traits. Identical twins are useful to study because they share 100% of their genes. Comparing identical twins who were reared together or apart, as in adoption studies, allows researchers to determine if similarities in behaviors are due to genetic or environmental factors. The Gottesman and Shields study compared schizophrenia concordance rates in identical and fraternal twins to investigate the relative genetic and environmental influences on the disorder. The study found higher concordance in identical twins, supporting a genetic influence, but less than 100% concordance, also indicating an environmental role. Twin studies are a valuable method but have limitations such as potential bias in
Week 5 Bandura Describe and Evaluate
Bandura conducted a study in 1961 to test social learning theory. He studied how 72 children between ages 3-6 learned aggression through observation. The children were split into groups that observed an adult model displaying either aggressive or non-aggressive behavior towards a Bobo doll. After exposure, the children's aggressive behavior was observed during play. The study found that children who observed the aggressive model displayed more subsequent aggressive behavior, providing support for social learning theory which posits that behavior can be learned through observation.

- 6. Stand Out (for the right reasons) Universities want their students to have: – A passion for the subject – Initiative – Commitment – Team playing skills – Organisation skills – Studentship skills
- 7. Stand Out (for the right reasons) Admissions tutors want evidence of: – Independent study skills (eg. EPQ, coursework …) – Self-awareness (can you reflect on your skills?) – Motivation (demonstrate by showing what you do) – An understanding of the course and its demands – Good numeracy and literacy skills – Essay writing skills – Research skills – Time management skills – Enthusiasm to go beyond the syllabus
- 8. How do I show I’m passionate? • Work experience - paid or unpaid (skills) • Further reading – Documentaries - Extended Project – Research - Extension Tasks • Involvement in related activities – Visiting galleries - Café scientifique – Making own films - HYMS/PBL, Newspaper – Going to conferences - Competitions, Mock Trials – Going to subject related - University access events / trips programmes
- 12. The difficult first paragraph • Why do you want to study the subject that you have chosen? • How are you right for the course? Tip: • Don’t try to write the first sentence first.
- 13. Subject Links • Can you demonstrate transferable skills..? • Why are the courses that you’re studying now relevant to your course? • Expand on the most relevant ones. • Show that you’re a critical thinker (EPQ,CT etc.) Tip: • Consider skills as well as content.
