S.P.E.C.T. Analysis and Personality S.P.E.C.T. Analysis and PersonalityNo unread replies.No replies.Anthropologists (particularly the ones who study genes) tend to think that personality is at least 50% determined by biology – and much of that is genetic.The material contained in this post and the youtubes relate to how the word trait” is defined in biological anthropology and in clinical psychology. It’s the same basic definition: a well-defined characteristic that is clearly rooted somewhere inside the human body and its biology. Traits do not include such things as nail polish color, scars or every single observable thing about a person – traits are discrete, scientifically defined entities that can be studied in terms of genes, brain behavior, body behavior, etc. Behavior is a term that includes every action of a living organism – and so it is very broad.The term trait” is very specific. In this class, traits will include the additional definition of possibly genetic.” Since we don’t know every single genetic trait, there is room for error in using the word. However, we can definitely study whether something is a genetic trait or a learned trait. For example, human beings have a trait called yawning.” Is it biologic in nature? Yes. And the ability/need to do it is inherited. But can it also be learned behavior (such as yawning loudly in order to indicate boredom). Since we know that boredom-yawning runs in subcultures (rather than in biological families), we have some clues that boredom-yawning is a learned behavior based in a biological behavior (so it is both learned and genetically enabled).Science has amazing new ways of studying what goes on in the brain. It’s not quite mind-reading, but it’s as close as we can get. First, let’s get a grip on the observed behavioral traits involved in the dark triad” (a description of certain personality types):https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UAIEvoz_RJA (Links to an external site.)^What is the Dark Triad? Dr. Grande; ~7 minutes. Look up any word you don’t fully understand.Now let’s look inside the brains of people who are scientifically described as within the Dark Triad. You’ll first learn that upon gross examination (just…looking at the brain), there are no readily identifiable differences between normal brains and Dark Triad brains. However, there are large physiological differences in how the brain works. In other words, the biochemistry and electrical system of the brain (the elements we usually call thought”) are at play here. Spoiler: we think that these elements are at least partly inherited and that some of the Dark Triad traits may run in families.psychopath mri – general psychology (Links to an external site.)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oaTfdKYbudkHow the brain research helps change personalities (SPECT And MRI) (Links to an external site.)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=esPRsT-lmw8 One interesting finding has been that many of our moral decisions are made in the pre-frontal area of the cortex (the part of the brain right behind the eyes). People with poor decision making patterns (such as Dark Triad people who get themselves into legal trouble) seem not to be wired to send the proper chemical and electrical signals to that part of the brain. I hope you can see from the last video how promising it is to know this.So that’s 3 videos to summarize, using timestamps (etc). The research shows that the genes involving brain chemistry may be involved here – either from birth (fairly strong evidence for that) or due to environmental damage (be sure to watch to the end on that last video – TBI patients are a fascinating and very active field of study. It appears that some sociopathy can be acquired – but it can also be inherited, and the tendency to engage in high risk sports is also thought to be linked to inheritance.
