A THEORTICAL REVIEW OF DETERMINANTS OF FOOD CHOICE T.Thegaleesan* and Dr. R.Renganathan** Introduction Food is vital for health and well beings of an individual. Life cannot exist without food and it is for this reason every living organism striving more to obtain the food requirements. It is not only satisfies the hungry, but also provide nutrients to our body viz., proteins, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins, minerals and water, thereby helps to growth, and maintenance, repair of tissues, reproduction
suggest the ways things are, not how they should be. They are not inherently good or bad but they can be used for good or bad purposes. A theory can try to explain crime in a macro level or explain crime at the micro level. Two types of theories are Biological Positivism and the Social Strain Theory. (Global.oup.com, 2014) Positivism is based on the idea of a scientific understanding of crime and criminality. It is assumes that there is a distinction between the normal and the deviant. Positivism attempts
reinforcement. Vicarious reinforcement involves learning by observing rewarded behaviour and imitating it and if behaviour is punished then no imitation. Additionally, there is reciprocal determinism, where along being influenced by our environment, we have some influence on the environment (Bandura, 1977). Imitation is an individual copying behaviour by observing a role model. Whereas identification, is where one takes on the behaviour or beliefs of the role model they identify with. Unlike traditional behaviourist
Analyse the strengths and weaknesses of biological explanations of criminal behaviour Introduction In order to answer this question, I will outline an understanding of the various criminological theories which aim to explain criminal behaviour in biological terms. A brief timeline of criminology will be provided to express the development of the biological perspective on crime from theorists such as Lombroso (19th c.) to modern biological theories. I will evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of

It works towards the promotion o good health and prevention of illness, rather than the treatment of it. Individual health is seen more as an outcome of social, economic and political determinants, rather than simply a consequence of indivdual behavior and lifestyle. (Carroll, Davey Smith & Bennet, 1996). It involves epidemiological studies, public health interventions and evaluations. Four core issues of public health psychology are understanding
or is it just to pacify the gender gap? They call this problem as ‘gender ration problem.’ Their problem is the express concern about the implication of theories of crime, which must be able to take into account both men’s and women’s criminal behaviours and highlight the factors that operate different on men and
If coquetting behaviors act as a of language, and are acquired similarly to how language is acquired, then this would lend itself to the notion that since language acquisition is strongly influenced through social and cultural modulation, coquetting behaviors and other forms of emotional expressions should vary cross-culturally and be influenced by the culture the user develops in as well. Evidence of a coquetting behavior that seems to be inherent within humans and other animals as well, but whose
discrimination is a prevalent issue that negatively affects certain aspects of the health of ethnic minorities. We see this issue recurring amongst Indigenous Australians, migrants and refugees. Racism refers to the beliefs, practices and types of behaviours that underlie unfair and avoidable inequalities towards groups in society based on race, ethnicity, culture or religion (Australian Human Rights Commission (AHRC), 2015). There are a number of aspects of health that racism and racial discrimination
Personality, commonly described as an internal process that directs behaviour (e.g. Asendorpf, 2002), is a fundamental area of study in psychology as it plays a key role in understanding why individuals behave in certain ways. Multiple approaches, including psychodynamic theories, trait theories, as well as humanistic and social perspectives (Larsen & Buss, 2010), have emerged in the efforts of explaining the characteristic behaviour of human beings. The key model of personality that has received the
