There is a belief that body chemistry is linked to behaviour. Although it is hard to determine this when it isn't proven which specific process, when disrupted can cause behaviour disorders. From our body ... 's chemistry neurotransmitters and diet are the two main causes of behaviour disorders. For example an overproduction of neurotransmitters can cause aggressive behaviour and too much sugar in a child's diet can lead ... ...

... behaviour. Like the natural sciences, psychology is empirical meaning it is based on making observations. It stresses the importance of observations in developing an understanding of behaviour. However, physics or chemistry deal with inanimate matter and the concepts can seem remote from personal experience (Cardwell, et al., 2004). The essay has illustrated that the weakness of one approach, has been the ... ...

... behavior. Sociologists have come to understand that the human mental condition is "part of a complex interplay", between the environment and biology (www.pbs.org). There is a direct link between brain chemistry and structure that ultimately dictates behavior. Sociologists have now found "psychological tools", such as mind-altering drugs, that allow physicians to better control undesirable human behavior (Agger 35). These drugs ... ...

Some contributors to sociology dismiss the idea of it being a science because they believed that it was almost impossible to use the same methods in collecting data for chemistry, biology and other scientific research, in the same way, for sociology.

... Broadus Watson (1878-1958) was the founder of American behaviorism. Although Functionalism was dominant at the time, he believed that if psychology was to be a natural science likes physics or chemistry, it must be limited to just that- observable, measurable events, that meaning behavior alone, hence we answer the question What is Behaviorism?. This is why behaviorists define psychology as the ... ...
