Behavioral changes
The new trend emphasized in the chapter delves into the use of technology in identifying people’s behavior to give a precise analysis that delves even to the mind. The section also defines the purpose of self-reports and psychologist observations to ascertain specific behavioral changes within society and, more so, their interactions. Through observation, the researchers note that with observation noticed, the person may behave differently than when not aware of view made on her. They tend to behave differently to please the observer rather than being self-independent of their behavior. This state configures the mind ti change a way of action. In the self-report, a person may change the activity, such as lying when she perceives the use of a behavioral detector. The behavior will automatically improve, and the tested client won’t lie. This kind of behavioral change has its association with the mind. Finally, technology has been used in the current trend to intervene in exploring behavior exhibited in the brain when images are exposed. The changes, such as heartbeat rate and hormonal changes, can portray a shift in a particular behavior mentally or genetically.
Compare and contrast social neuroscience, behavioral genetics, and evolutionary psychology. Why are these perspectives potentially essential for us as a society?
Social neuroscience is the study that explores cellular makeups, the hormonal changes, neural and genetic compositions, and how the social and biological levels of individuals, groups, and society. The evolutionary psychology theoretical approach focuses on explaining mental traits and psychological traits and how evolution has impacted changes in the mind and behavior of individuals. The biological genetics psychological approach delves to study the immune systems, brain, nervous system, and heritability of genetic compositions among individuals and groups. The differences portrayed depicts that each delves to explore a particular variable. They all compare in exploring a variety of variables. For instance, biological genetics and social neuroscience have a convergence in how changes in genetic makeup interconnect to the behavioral changes displayed in the environment. Social neuroscience and evolution psychology both have inexorable interest in the brain and its several changes within individuals and groups. For someone to get an explicit understanding of the social organization, their behavior, how they respond to changes and their adaptation, has to explore all the approaches. The approach portrays a sequence of interconnectedness in addressing social relationships, behavior, biological, and mental facilitation concerning the environment.
How do your answers to the previous questions affect your Christian Worldview?
Christians tend to behave differently when in public as compared to when in their adjacent edges. Witnesses and the Bible bind them. A Christian can lie, but when she notes to be in the presence of her fellow believers, the action deviates from the will. Their words may sound sweet when in a group but have different mental images with them. Their social relations behavior tends to change concerning the kind of stimuli exposed.
