Key assumptions

Question 1

4 key assumptions

Answer 1

1. Individuals differ in their behaviour & personal qualities so not everyone can be considered ‘the average person’
2. Every individual is genetically unique and this uniqueness is displayed through their behaviour. So everyone behaves differently.
3. All human characteristics can be measured from 1 person to another & quantified. The measures gained from 1 person are different to those gained from another
4. All psychological characteristics are inherited & as everyone inherits different characteristics, everyone is different & unique
