Genetic factors in Aggressive B ehaviour

This session aims to delve into genetic influences on aggressive behavior, focusing on hormones' role in aggression. Participants will engage in group teaching activities covering twin and adoption studies, gene MAOA evaluation, and genetic factors for aggression. Individuals will also analyze and discuss various issues such as nature versus nurture, reductionism, determinism, biological influences, and animal research in understanding aggressive behavior.

Presentation Transcript

  1. Genetic factors in Aggressive Behaviour

  2. Starter On mini whiteboards In three sentences explain the role of hormones in aggressive behaviour As a class- One word story

  3. What are Genetics? • Why are Psychologists interested in Genetics? • What group of individuals might Psychologists study when exploring genetics? • What are the problems with understanding behaviour through the study of genetics?

  4. Main task - Group teach • Group one- Twin studies • Group two- Adoption studies • Group three- Evaluation of Twin and adoption studies • Group four- Gene MAOA • Group five- Evaluation of genes for aggression

  5. You must produce • One poster • One presentation of the poster • One activity for all the class to complete

  6. Grounding theory activity • You will each be given a sheet with a study on the top • You will need to ground this piece of research to the theory “What does this evidence suggest about the link between genes and aggression” • You will then pass this on to the next person in your group who must provide their grounding of the research

  7. Issue/Debate/Approach In pairs you will be allocated an Issue, debate or approach • Nature vs nurture • Reductionism • Determinism • Biological • Animal research Using Point Evidence Comment You have five minutes to individually write a paragraph on your IDA relating to Genetic explanations

  8. Watch the trailer • https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yI3v6KfR9Mw • Use the following theories to explain the Kray brother’s aggressive behaviour • Neural Mechanisms • Hormonal Mechanisms • Genetic Factors

  9. At home • Complete the genetic factors handout in your pack • Ground the research
