How does the perspective relate to nurture? 4. How does this perspective study or explain stress? 5. Think about the ways stress impacts your own life. In your opinion, is nature or nurture more significant for this perspective, and why? Neuroscience: How the structures and chemistry of the brain and body influence mental process and behavior Brain and body development is influenced by biological factors, such as genetic expression (Honeycutt, 2019). Brain and body development is influenced by responses to changes in our environment (Honeycutt, 2019). 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. I think nurture is more significant for the neuroscience perspective. I think nurture is all about how minds are adapted to different environments around us and how the brain reacts. Because our body is constantly changing, and certain things like stress often affects our behavior mentally. Our brains are wired a certain way from the first day we are born and often someone’s we don’t know how to adapt to certain situations that can cause mental distress. Our behavior is greatly affected when this happens. Evolutionary: How natural selection of traits promotes the survival and We are born with instincts that promote our survival and the propagation of our species Our ability to survive depends on our ability to adapt to the changing demands of life (Honeycutt, 2019). The evolutionary perspective explains that our biological response to stress was passed down from our ancestors I think nature is more significant for the evolutionary perspective. I think nature applies to this situation. I don’t know too much about evolutionary science, but what I read shows it falls into the category of

Research shows genetics are passed down by our family members, so we are already genetically wired. I think it can be hard to navigate life in these situations, and when situations come up, that can trigger a form of aggression that can make life challenging. Behavior Genetics: How genes and environment interact and work together to influence our traits and behaviors Genetic predisposition and innate knowledge help to shape our attitudes and choices (Honeycutt, 2019). Our lived experience influences the coding and expression of our genes (Levitt, 2013). The behavior genetics perspective investigates whether genes predispose some people to stress, how stress affects gene expression, and how stress can alter our genes through epigenetic changes. I think nurture is more significant for the behavior genetics perspective. I think, from the perspective of behavior, genetics and nurture would be the choice. For example, those who are introverted or extroverted have to adapt to other personalities when they are trying to connect with others. If someone else can seem intimidating, and that is how they are with others, that personality may rub off on them. I think our personalities are formed based on experiences and often come from those around us. Psychodynamic: How unconscious drives and desires influence behavior We are naturally, and unconsciously, driven to seek pleasure and avoid death (Freud, 1920). Childhood experiences influence how we manage the conflict between our desires and society’s rules (Harper, 2023). The psychodynamic perspective emphasizes how our inner conflicts and early childhood experiences influence our ability to deal with stress. I think nurture is more significant for the psychodynamic perspective. I think nurture applies to this based on what I read about psychodynamic science. In today’s society, our actions are often controlled by what we see on social media. Social media tends to
