Examples Of Psychological Case Studies

Rachel Said:

how can the so called eye witness accounts in the bible be reliable when?

We Answered:

It's particularly laughable when these alleged eye witness accounts are in the bible and the bible has been edited, changed, translated etc, many, many times over the last 1700 years that it barely resembles the original. The Catholics who decided to include these eye witness accounts in the bible could have just made them all up!

Duane Said:

Are these two psychologigal disorders creation of our society?

We Answered:

Most definitely...

We now have many disorders in our western culture which barely existed 40 years ago.

It is the high expectations of our culture which are creating them.

Sherri Said:

Is being gay a genetic condition, or is it due to social and psychological factors?

We Answered:

I was always taught that it was developmental factors. At a certain point in human development the brain is flooded with testosterone in order to make it more male-like. If this doesn't happen, then the brain becomes more like that of a female. The problem arises when, at these critical periods, that the brain doesn't recieve enough testosterone to change it to that of a male. Once this critical period has passed, then the child's brain is irreversibly female or male. This has an affect on their behavior. However, you can still develop as a male physically (i.e. having testicles and a penis) even after your brain missed it's testosterone bath. In the laboratory, male rats who missed this critical period and didn't have an injection of testosterone but were instead injected with progesterone displayed female-like sexual behavior. This might help explain homosexual behavior as a matter of hormones and not social or genetic influences.

Jamie Said:

Are there any sociological/psychological experiments/research along these lines...?

We Answered:

The problem with that case is that it wasn't an issue of morals/ethics, it was about shift of responsibility when in a larger group of people. Regardless of morals/ethics, you're going to have a similar result when there is a large group of people at the scene of an accident.
