Biological vs. Humanistic Theory Paper

Biological vs. Humanistic Theory Paper

Hans Eysenck’s description of personality has been an influential model in personality research for several decades. Hans believed that biological factors played a huge role in our personalities, hence the term biological psychology.

Biological psychology is the branch of psychology, which includes studies of the various biological bases of behavior. These include the study of neuroanatomy and physiology, the influences of hormones and other chemicals, and the genetics and heritability of behavioral traits. Biological psychology is one of a group of brain sciences called the neurosciences. Neuroscientists as a group are interested in all the diverse aspects of the nervous system, while biological psychologists in particular are more specifically interested in the biology of behavior.

Factor 1: Degree of neuroticism. 
Factor 2: Type of neuroticism.

This was the basis of his original model of personality, which consisted of two very clearly marked dimensions of human patterns of behavior.

Neuroticism emotional stability versus emotional instability.

Extroversion versus introversion.

Eysenck claimed that introverts having a more highly aroused cortex were more
