Oh right!!! I get you now, they are good points.
I could recommend Johannson using the combined approach of self reports and urine test as holistic

Oooooooooh. YES. Also Bandura and Adam's theory of self-efficacy as one way we learn it is via biological symptoms.

Good one, you don't happen to have holistic weaknesses in terms of studies with a bit of detail to why?

I started getting bored towards the end. But the weaknesses are pretty obvious to elaborate, particularly the time consuming one.

Would you all say this is good enough outline for Reductionism:

Reductionism is the argument that we can explain behaviour and experiences can be explained with reference to only one factor such as biology and learning processes. There are many types of reductionism such as Biological Reductionism which argues that behaviours and experiences can be explained by biological factors such as hormones, genes or the nervous system. Environmentally reductionist approaches argue that behaviour can be explained simply by the influence of learned experience or by the influence of role models such as friends and family.

Oh basically u talk about how the social approach focuses on behaviour being influenced by others can talk about Piliavin and helping behaviour for that point then you can say however in some situations people are able to make their own independent decisions for example in Milgram's study only 65% went to 450v meaning 35% chose not to even though they were in the same situation. If you expand on those two points should get 8 marks :smile:

In Section B part a) the 4 mark question where it asks you to outline the approach etc, what would you typically write? all I can think to write is an assumption from the approach! what else are we expected to say to get 4 marks?

Could you use Gudjonnson's study into the attribution theory for individual differences?

Does anyone think it is a risk to revise just the individual differences approach, the two perspectives and then 2 or 3 issues.. I really am not motivated to study the other approaches ..
