This assignment will look at the psychodynamic and learning theories, as well as the

scholars behind them. Assessing these speculations and how nature vs nurture
influences sexual orientation.
Psychology is the investigative investigation of mental life and human conduct. It
clarifies how we think, feel and act both exclusively and as a component of a social
gathering ("University Of Bath", 2016). Gender and sex is widely investigated in
regards to the learning theory and psychodynamic theory. Sex alludes to natural
contrasts, for example, chromosomes, hormonal profiles, interior and outer sex
organs, while sexual orientation depicts the qualities that a general public or society
outlines as manly or ladylike (med.monash.edu.au, 2016). Nature vs. nurture,
alludes to the experimental, social, and philosophical open deliberation about
whether human society, conduct, and identity are brought on essentially by nature or
nurture. Nature is regularly characterised in this level headed discussion as
hereditary or hormone-based practices, while nurture is most usually characterized
as environment and experience ("Nature Vs. Nurture", 2012).
Hayes, (2000, p 664) refers to sex and gender occurrences as:
Sex refers to the biological quality of the individual: someone is biologically either
male or female. But gender refers to the social aspects of this distinction: to the
behavior and conduct which the individual engages in as they interact with other
people.
Analysts concur that heredity decides physiological contrasts in guys and females,
for instance heredity causes young ladies to achieve adolescence sooner than
young men, furthermore causes young men (once puberty is reached) to have more
muscle structure and be taller than young ladies. Young men are all the more
physically forceful, an attribute that has been connected to the expanded levels of
testosterone, bringing about more physical parts been given to young men, while
young ladies have measures of estrogen, which gives the part of being more
arranged to help and watch over others.

Nurture, alludes to every natural impact, at the end of the day, how a man is raised
drives improvement, for example, level of connection, convictions, values and how

much consideration one is given are all cases of ecological impacts. Parents
additionally treat their children differently, they regularly react all the more as often as
possible to demands for assistance from little girls, while boys are generally urged to
take care of issues on their own. What's more, many parents support sexual
orientation run of the mill practices by offering sex particular toys, for example, dolls
for young girls and trucks for young boys ("Study.Com", 2016).
Social Learning Theory sets that individuals gain from each other, by means of
perception, impersonation, and displaying. The hypothesis has frequently been
known as an extension amongst behaviorist and psychological learning speculations
since it envelops consideration, memory, and inspiration (Learning Theories, 2015).
Albert Bandura was the theorist in 1961 he conducted an experiments called Bobo
Doll, the study was carried out to investigate if social behaviours such like
aggression can be acquired by observation and imitation. Bandura tested 36 boys,
36 girls between the ages of 3 to 5 years old their role models were one male adult
and one female adult. The experiment was carried out as a lab experiment,
aggressive model shown to 24 children, non-aggressive model shown to 24 children
and no model shown to 24 children. The results of the study concluded the
aggression model made imitative aggressive responses than those who were in the
non-aggressive or controlled groups. Boys were more probable to imitate same-sex
models than girls. The study low time
validity

Williams (1986) carried out a study to investigate the role television played in the
development of a child's gender identity. The study assessed the attitudes of children
who lived in towns where television had only just been introduced, Williams assed
them again 2 years later. Williams found their attitudes were far more gender
stereotypes than they were before. He concluded TV plays a large role in shaping a
child's gender identity. Currently an average child watches around 2.6 hours of TV a
day. So we could assume TV now play a bigger role than it did in Williams
study

The strengths of social learning it for the most part uses thorough logical strategies
the approach has had numerous down to earth applications this territory has worked
with different zones of brain science to deliver the accompanying: social learning
hypothesis, social insight and computerised reasoning. The weakness are it is
excessively shortsighted it disregards the intricacy of the human working it overlooks
organic impacts of human working it overlooks feelings, cognisant experience and
through and through freedom (Revisionworld.com, 2016).
Psychodynamic hypothesis is a view that clarifies identity as far as cognisant and
oblivious strengths, for example, oblivious cravings and convictions. In the mid
twentieth century, Sigmund Freud proposed a psychodynamic hypothesis as
indicated by which identity comprises of the id. In charge of impulses and delight
looking for, the superego which endeavors to comply with the standards of guardians
and society and the sense of self which intercedes between them as per the
requests of reality. Psychodynamic speculations ordinarily hold that adolescence
encounters shape identity. Such speculations are connected with analysis, a sort of
treatment that endeavors to uncover oblivious musings and longings. Not all
clinicians acknowledge psychodynamic speculations, and commentators guarantee
the hypotheses need supporting exploratory information. Different hypotheses of
identity incorporate behavioral and humanist speculations (Study.com, 2016).
Oedipus complex, in psychoanalytic hypothesis, a longing for sexual inclusion with
the parent of the inverse sex and an accompanying feeling of contention with the
parent of the same sex; a critical stage in the typical formative process. The Electra
complex is a psychoanalytic term used to depict a young girls feeling of rivalry with
her mom for the affections of her dad (Changingminds.org, 2016).
Malinowski (1927) attempted to partially explain the role of sex in social organisation
through combination of psychoanalysis and anthropology. The study concluded in
the matriarchal society of Trobriand boys are disciplined by maternal uncles, not their
fathers. Impartial, avuncular discipline Malinowski reported that the boys dreamed of
feared uncles, not sexual jealousy - is the source of oedipal conflict in such nonwestern societies.
