Issues and debates as AO3 lenses

Issues and debates as AO3 lenses

Concept map with biological explanations of aggression in the centre and branches for ethics, science, practical issues, reductionism, nature versus nurture, culture bias, gender bias, social control and development over time, with links to Raine et al. (1997) and Brendgen et al. (2005)

Issues and debates are AO3 lenses used to judge how convincing a psychological explanation really is. In biological psychology, aggression is often explained through the brain, hormones, genes and neurotransmitters, so each lens asks a different evaluative question.
