e Real World COLUMN 1 1. Seven perspectives of psychology Neuroscience How the structures and chemistry of the brain and body influence mental process and behavior Evolutionary How natural selection of traits promotes the survival and reproduction of genes Behavior Genetics How genes and environment interact and work together to influence our COLUMN 2 2. How does the perspective relate to nature? Brain and body development is influenced by biological factors, such as genetic expression (Honeycutt, 2019). We are born with instincts that promote our survival and the propagation of our species (Honeycutt, 2019). Genetic predisposition and innate knowledge help to shape our attitudes and choices (Honeycutt, 2019). COLUMN 3 3. How does the perspective relate to nurture? Brain and body development is influenced by responses to changes in our environment (Honeycutt, 2019). Our ability to survive depends on our ability to adapt to the changing demands of life (Honeycutt, 2019). Our lived experience influences the coding and expression of our genes (Levitt, 2013). COLUMN 4 4. How does this perspective study or explain stress? The neuroscience perspective studies the chemical causes and effects of stress, from the release of the hormone cortisol to the effects of chronic stress on the body. The evolutionary perspective explains that our biological response to stress was passed down from our ancestors because it helped them survive threatening situations. The behavior genetics perspective investigates whether genes predispose some people to stress, how straer affarts COLUMN 5 5. Think about the ways stress impacts your own life.
