Scientific study of the mind, brain and behaviour. In an attempt to understand, predict and in some cases control human behaviour. Social culture influences: social or behavioural level - involves relating to others and. Biological mental or neurological level - involves thoughts, feelings and emotions. : molecular or neurochemical - involves molecules and brain structure. Behaviour is shaped by culture on another. Actions are multiply determined from one another. With multiply determined factors, those factors in turn influence each other as well. People differ from each other in thinking, emotion, personality and behaviour. That"s why we respond differently to the same objective situation. Reciprocal determinism - we mutually influence each other"s behaviour.
