Question 24 • RYLE25 - PSYCHOLOGY - FULL CREDIT

Which statement best represents the biological perspective’s view of personality development?

Answer
A
Genetic predispositions to learning influence personality development.
B
Progression through psychosexual stages and childhood experiences influences personality development.
C
Continuously developing response tendencies influences lifelong personality development.
D
Receiving unconditional love, resulting in a congruent self-concept, influences personality development.

Explanation

The biological perspective explains personality in part through inherited traits, brain processes, and other genetic influences. Genetic predispositions to learning can therefore shape how personality develops. Progression through psychosexual stages points to the psychodynamic perspective, while unconditional love and a congruent self-concept are associated with the humanistic perspective.
