Presentation Transcript

  1. Learning Objectives • To understand psychic and environmental determinism • To understand and apply synopticity in relation to determinism No wonder he drinks, you never see his dad without a glass in his hand DO NOW: building on your understanding from yesterday, how do the speech bubbles link to the ideas of determinism? I smoke because I need to, my body needs nicotine…

  2. Starter: how do the images relate to your learning from the Psychology course so far?

  3. Determinism Internal Determinism External Determinism Biological determinism Environmental determinism Psychic determinism

  4. Main Task • You need to add THREE examples of evidence from the AS course (one for each of the areas of determinism)which illustrate the different forms of determinism to your handout • Anything which fits from PSYB 1, 2 or 3 is acceptable • This is about YOU selecting examples which YOU will remember for the exam • If you need help refer back to the pictures from the beginning of the lesson

  5. Determinism Internal Determinism External Determinism Biological determinism Environmental determinism Psychic determinism REPRODUCE THIS IN YOUR NOTES AND ADD THE PIECES OF EVIDENCE SO THAT YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHICH ONE GOES WHERE. YOU NEED 2-3 SENTENCES ON EACH ASPECT WHICH YOU CHOSE TO INCLUDE.

  6. Reviewing our learning… • Essay question: ‘Free will is an illusion. What seems to be freely chosen behaviour is really the result of internal and external forces acting upon the individual.’ Discuss this view. Refer to at least one topic area in your answer. (12 marks) • P-E-E-L – Point, Expansion, Evidence, Link • Biological determinism, the belief that all behaviour and thought is caused by the action of the nervous system and genetic factors, provides an example in support of free will being an illusion (Point). Numerous twin studies have pointed towards a genetic pre-disposition in behaviours such as depression and schizophrenia (Expansion / Elaboration). Gottesman and Shields found a concordance rate of 46% for Schizophrenia in monozygotic twins in comparison to 14% in dizygotic twins (Evidence) suggesting that genes play a role in determining behaviour and that it is not freely chosen (Link back to question)

  7. Reviewing our learning… • You should write 3 structured points which you could include in the essay about each of the pieces of evidence (‘topics’) you have chosen in relation to determinism. • These will be peer assessed to ensure you have each element (PEEL) present • A02 marks come from you using the topics to support or go against the debate!

  8. Plenary: which aspects of determinism do these images represent and why?
