EE in Psychology - Criminal behaviour based on biological factors!

Hi, 

 

I had several issues regarding my Extended Essay in Psychology.

 

First: Which research question would be the most suitable? 

Option 1: To what extent is criminal behaviour based on biological factors?

Option 2: To what extent can biological factors predict criminal behaviour? 

Option 3: Is criminal behaviour primarily based on biological factors? 

 

Second: While I have all my ideas and research with reference to the issue ready, I do not know how to put it down in a format suitable for an EE, for eg: the IA has a very specific format that is simply the marking criterion itself. How do the plan the structure, or chart out points for my Extended Essay?

 

Third: Does anyone have any good samples of the EEs written in Psychology on the nature vs. nurture debate? All the ones I found are from the "50 excellent EE series" and rather than helping me out, they ended up confusing me regarding the structure! 

 

Will be grateful if someone could help me out!

Thanks.

With no intent to offend, the comparisons are not superficial and students who do not take Psychology will not be able to understand the idea behind the EE, as the subject's dynamics do not fit it's "pop image". 

 

Considerable research has been done on the issue, I suggest you pick up the book called Anatomy of Violence, and perhaps then you will understand the point that I am trying to make in the EE. 

 

However, my question, still remains unanswered.

hi, I´m searching for PSychology EE samples on nature vs nurture and found your message. I´m doing my EE in psychology with a similar topic as yours.

my research question: " To what extent is violence inherited genes or acquired nature?" 

I´m just confused with everything, i found a few studies but I´M still not sure if they are relevant or not. Could you pls give me a few tips or suggest me a few studies and send a sample of your EE so that i get an idea how to structure it.

Thankyou so much in advance :)
