Compare and contrast the research interests of a developmental psychologist, a physiological psychologist, a social psychologist, and a cognitive psychologist on the topic of love
What will be an ideal response?
Developmental psychologists look at human development across the lifespan; they would likely focus on how people of various ages might experience or define love. Physiological psychologists would focus on the biological and genetic aspects of behavior and thus would be likely to focus on hormone levels and other biological aspects of behavior. Social psychologists focus on the role of social forces in governing behavior and might look at the roles that attitudes, prejudices, and group memberships play in people's experience of love. Cognitive psychologists focus on mental processes such as memory, reasoning, language, and creativity and thus would be likely to examine how these would influence an individual's experience of love.
