It can be applied to helping criminals. One way of doing this is by making young teens do a questionnaire which will allow psychologists to see if they have a personality which can cause criminal behaviour. Therefore, this can be used by teaching the parents how to nurture their child’s behaviour for example, if they have a high extrovert score, they need to always keep them entertained so that they don’t end up committing criminal activities in order to satisfy their need for excitement ]]> 2018-07-04 09:31:14 UTC https://padlet.com/oakylj_22/12marker/wish/269361388 https://padlet.com/oakylj_22/12marker/wish/269361402 Eyseck’s theory of personality explains criminal behaviour using social and biological factors, suggesting that a high PEN score (psychoticsm, extrovert and neuroticism) leads to criminal behaviour. This theory suggests that an underaroused CNS can cause impulsive behaviour, and can then lead to a more extroverted personality.  An over active ANS can lead to a more neurotic individual, as they will react more strongly to anti-social situations. A high P score is due to levels of hormones, in particular testosterone. It is a combination of these factors that lead to criminal behaviour. ]]> 2018-07-04 09:31:28 UTC https://padlet.com/oakylj_22/12marker/wish/269361402 https://padlet.com/oakylj_22/12marker/wish/269361476 2018-07-04 09:32:12 UTC https://padlet.com/oakylj_22/12marker/wish/269361476 https://padlet.com/oakylj_22/12marker/wish/269361547 Explain one weakness of personality as a factor that influences criminal behaviour ]]> 2018-07-04 09:32:44 UTC https://padlet.com/oakylj_22/12marker/wish/269361547 https://padlet.com/oakylj_22/12marker/wish/269361607 Describe XYY syndrome as an explanation of crime and anti-social behaviour (3 Marks)

Haris
XYY syndrome is where a Male has an extra Y chromosome. The Y chromosome in a Male is what causes he higher levels of testosterone in men compared to women. When a person is born with an extra Y chromosome they have double the amount of testosterone to a normal Male. This increase in testosterone causes people to be more aggressive.

It was at first associated with increased levels of aggression as the idea was an extra male chromosome would lead to double the normal levels of testosterone - the hormone related to aggressive response. However, this perspective was sensationalised and unrealistic as the majority of males living with XYY lead normal lives (for example the first individual found to have the condition). It is likely this incorrect conclusion was only formed as most of the research into XYY syndrome was conducted on aggressive prisoners. This meant the research lacked objectivity and was therefore low in validity.

Also, social desirability would be an influence as people would want to look better with their results. Therefore the research is less reliable and therefore less credible.]]> 2018-07-04 09:47:14 UTC https://padlet.com/oakylj_22/12marker/wish/269362826
