91
Q

Evaluation of FLD

A

Reductionist as it doesn’t take into acc environmental
Phone as Gage-supporting evidence
Opposing- (raine) psychopaths and social learning with Bandura
Links to amygdala-reductionist as cant regulate emotions like impulsivity soleads to impulsive actions

92
Q

Evaluation of amygdala impairment

A

Opposing- eysencks personality theory and other biological explanations, banduras social influence eg nurture
Pardini- reduced volume ppts more likely to be agg
Yang- aimed to detect abnormalities and showed results of volume reduction in psycophats- androcentric as only males
SM Feinstein- lack of fight or flight so more likely to take risks however amygdala is never the whole story
Application- useful for fear therapy, Charles Whitman and John Massey

93
Q

Evaluation of personality theory

Eysenck- support that the role of personality can play a role in your emotions and psychopathy howver is reductionist as categories are linear and your personality type can change Ailey and be influenced- doesn’t account for personality disorders

Q

Yang procedure and sample

A

27 psycchopathic and 32 matched control who were examined through amygdala volumes

97
Q

Yang results

A

Psychopathy showed significant volume reductions in comparison to controls (left 17.1% and right was 18.9%)

98
Q

Yang evaluation

A

Many are born with psychopathy and not all brain damage has this effect- environment an genes an play a role

99
Q

SM case

A

SM was unable to show fear responses to a series of spiders, haunted house and scary films due to amygdala lesions howver is still able to experience other emotions- this shows how important the amygdala is in the role of fear

100
Q

Evaluation of SM case

A

Useful for fear therapy and understanding the amygdala

When women typically give attractive individuals Essex sentencing due to positive expectations

104
Q

Abwender and hough aim

105
Q

AnH procedure

A

207 ps where 129 were women and 78 men who were shown a case f a 25 year old woman who was pulled over by the police for wreckless driving while under influence of alcohol. Two versions of the story were provided and both involved a dad pedestrian however, one had a defendant described as attractive and the other was unattractive, Ps had to rate the defendant on a likely type scale including their level of responsibility, consumption and attractiveness

106
Q

Only from 4 diff states and only black defenders used so not generalizable

111
Q

115
Q

Conclusion of BnW

A

The racial composition of the jury has a significant effect on the likelihood of conviction and outgroup bias may come into play as black defendants with a majority black jury are less likely

XYY males had higher levels of aggression and lower intelligence levels

123
Q

Evaluation of theilgaard

A

Nature - only explores genes and a reason for criminal behavior
Androcentric and only one age
This is only one reason
Stockhlom studied men from 15-70 years old and found there were more convictions of those with xxy
