Biological psychology

1. 1What 3 things do you have to mention in order to describe brain structure and function explanation of aggression?

   1. AUnconscious mind, neurotransmitters, testosterone
   2. BSerotonin, testosterone, dopamine
   3. CThe limbic system, dopamine, serotonin
   4. DAmygdla, brain injuries, dopamine
2. 2What is the supporting evidence for the brain structure and function explanation of aggression?

   1. ACoccaro et al
   2. BManson and Wrangham
   3. CSherif et al
3. 3Does the hypothalamus produce testosterone and the thalmus send warnings?

   1. ATrue
   2. BFalse
4. 4Aggression is a [blank_start]survival trait[blank_end] as ancestors needed it to fight off predators. It is important to be able to turn it on and off which is what the [blank_start]limbic system[blank_end] does. The [blank_start]amygdla[blank_end] senses threat through [blank_start]fight[blank_end] or [blank_start]flight[blank_end] response. The [blank_start]hypothalmus[blank_end] produces [blank_start]testosterone[blank_end] and the [blank_start]thalmus[blank_end] sends warnings, triggering the aggressive response.

   1. Asurvival trait
   2. Blimbic system
   3. Camygdla
   4. Dfight
   5. Eflight
   6. Fhypothalmus
   7. Gtestosterone
   8. Hthalmus
5. 5What is the supporting evidence for the evolutionary explanation?

   1. AWolfgang and Faracutti (1967)
   2. BManson and Wrangham (1991)
   3. CBuss (1989)
6. 6What is the conflicting evidence for the evolutionary explanation?

   1. ABuss (1989)
   2. BManson and Wrangham (1991)
   3. CWolfgang and Faracutti (1967)
7. 7What is useful about the evolutionary explanation

   1. ADescribes how male species are best
   2. BExplains the social hierarchy of species
   3. CBuss (1989) sexual jealousy/ selection
8. 8The evolutionary theory is testable

   1. ATrue
   2. BFalse
9. 9What is the role of dopamine in aggression

   1. ARegulates motivational behaviours and it's links with reward. Interacts with serotonin.
   2. BRegulates motivational behaviours and it's links with reward. Interacts with testosterone.
   3. CRegulates motivational behaviours and it's links with pleasure. Interacts with serotonin.
10. 10Serotonin slows down neural activity and causes impulsive behaviour and poor sleep.

    1. ATrue
    2. BFalse
