With these thoughts in mind:
Post by Day 2 a 1- to 2-paragraph response to the Discussion Spark.
Main DiscussionThe scientific study of psychology includes different levels of analysis or differing complementary perspectives. When you reflect on the major psychological perspectives described in the course text, you see that some have more of a social component, while others have more of a biological component. Psychologists attempt to take all these perspectives into consideration by analyzing human behavior from different levels of analyses. Each perspective provides valuable insight into what makes up each unique individual. For this week’s Discussion, you will analyze an individual from a variety of perspectives.
Think about someone you know in one of the age groups listed below. Be sure to pick an age group that is different from your chosen case study individual.
