225. Individualist and Sociological Explanations

233. 08/29/11 Note: Evolutionary forces lead to species-specific genomes. Each person has a fairly unique genotype. These genotypes lead to differential central and peripheral nervous system (CNS and PNS) functioning. This functioning is modified by the person's developmental history. Working together, the person's temperament and developmental history forms his or her personality. This personality may often lead the person to different situations and lead him or her to appraise it different from other persons. The behavior elicited from that appraisal is thus the result of everything that preceded it, plus pure chance. Figure 1.2 The Ultimate-Proximate Levels of Explanation ___________________________________________________________________ Evolution  Genetics  Temperament  Developmental History  Personality Evolutionary Each person's CNS and PNS Family factors, attachment, Enduring traits history of the genetic inheritance functioning school, peers, etc. experiences of person forged species from genes and experience  Immediate Situation  Subjective Appraisal  Behavior Each person brings to a People react differently situation everything he or she to similar situations has become due to the because they have preceding factors different genes and different experiences Figure 1.2 The Ultimate-Proximate Levels of Explanation

234. 08/29/11 Figure 1.3 Interaction of Environmental and Individual Factors in the Probability of Moving from Law Abiding to Law Breaking Behavior Note: Angled lines each represent a hypothetical individual. Person A has a low underlying criminal disposition and thus requires strong environmental instigation to cross the threshold from law abiding to law breaking behavior. Person B has a strong underlying criminal disposition and will cross the threshold even under extremely low environmental instigation. (From A. Walsh, 2003.
