CONTINUOUS ASSESSMENT TEST – CA II - -2024/2025– SEMSETER I

Question: 01

In this module, you learned about the five main psychological domains and also covered some of the main
perspectives in psychology. Think about some of the various perspectives you learned about (including
psychoanalysis, behaviorism, cognitive psychology, humanism, and the biological approach), and explain
how an alien psychologist from another planet might explain the following human behaviors:

1. Why do people cut or shave hair from their bodies (and why does it vary by sex, age, groups,
etc.)?
2. Why do children in primary school walk in a line when going to class?
3. Why are people physically aggressive towards each other (and why males might be observed
doing so more than females)?

Explain each of the three behaviors with a DIFFERENT perspective. Give a well-founded explanation of
how a psychologist would explain that behavior from that particular perspective.

Please adhere to the guidelines in the APA 7th edition referencing guide for in-text citations and the list of
references.
• The list of references will not be counted for the word count of this assignment.
