Textbook Passage:
"...how much of our behavior is a consequence of our unique and special
qualities, the individual differences that differentiate us from other people?
Conversely, how much reflects the culture and society in which we live,
stemming from universal principles that underlie the behavior of all humans?
Psychologists who rely on the neuroscience perspective tend to look for universal
principles of behavior, such as how the nervous system operates or the way
certain hormones automatically prime us for sexual activity. Such psychologists
concentrate on the similarities in our behavioral destinies despite vast differences
in our upbringing. In contrast, psychologists who employ the humanistic
perspective focus more on the uniqueness of every individual. They consider
every person's behavior a reflection of distinct and special individual qualities."
