Question

Psychodynamic, behavioral, cognitive, ethnological and ecological. Why is “Which approach is right on development?” wrong? HELP

Answer 1

On development perspectives six major theoretical theories psychodynamic, evolutionary, contextual, humanistic, cognitive, and behavioral are there and these entire theories can provide most accurate development of human.

The given question “Which approach is right on development?” is not an appropriate question for various reasons because different aspects of human development was emphasizes by each theory on its own premises and focused perspective. For instance,

Psychodynamic approach emphasizes unconscious determinants of behavior

Behavioral perspectives emphasize overt behavior

Cognitive and humanistic perspectives can look and examine what people can do

Contextual perspective examines social and cultural influences on development

Evolutionary perspective focuses on biological factors development

So in fact using an eclectic approach drawing on several perspectives simultaneously was most predominantly preferred by some developmentalists.
