Document Summary
It could be a complex set of factors. To what degree does genetic or hereditary influences (nature) and experimental or environmental influences (nurture) determine the kind of person you are. To some views, differences in development are simply variations on a fundamental developmental process. Putting all 3 issues together, we can ask how heredity and environment interact to influence the development of personality. We need to look at all the forces that combine to shape human development. Basic forces in human development: the biopsychosocial framework. Psychological forces- all internal perceptual, cognitive, emotional, and personality factors. Sociocultural forces- include interpersonal, societal, cultural, and ethnic factors. Life-cycle forces- reflect differences in how the same event affects people of different ages. Each person is a product of a unique combo of these forces. The biopsychosocial framework- shows human development results from interacting forces. Neuroscientists are unlocking relations between developmental changes in specific regions of the brain and well-known developmental phenomena.
