Question
Biopsychosocial model

Answer

  • According to this model, abnormal behaviour results from biological, psychological, and socio-cultural factors.
  • Biological factors include age, genetics, physical health.
  • Psychological factors include mental and emotional health, beliefs, and expectations.
  • Sociocultural factors include interpersonal relations and socioeconomic factors.
  • If a person who has a biological predisposition towards abnormality, gets to live in a protective and nurturing environment, there are fewer chances of developing abnormal behaviour.
  • Conversely, if he is placed in an environment detrimental to his mental and social well-being, he will show abnormal behaviour.
