comes from what they call nature vs. nurture. This is when we try and figure out if the behavior

environment play an important role in a person development and they both are needed.
Psychology involved into science because psychology uses scientific methods in order to
conduct researches. Some examples of psychological perspective that explain human behavior,

But out of all of the perspectives none of them has explanatory powers over the next. They all
mean something extremely important in the knowledge of how the human behavior works (UOP
