They lie, steal, and can be [blank_start]aggressive[blank_end]. They can also be witty and [blank_start]charming[blank_end] but the may struggle to have and keep a job, friends or be a [blank_start]good parent[blank_end].

APD cannot be diagnosed until an individual is 18 years old.
Answer
  • True
  • False

Question 3

Question
To be diagnosed with APD the individual must have 3 or more characteristics. From the list below choose 4 that count.
Answer
  • Not following the norms of society
  • Being a criminal
  • Being careless about their safety and others
  • Taking drugs
  • Being impulsive and not planning ahead
  • Being irresponsible and not holding down a job/paying money back

Question 4

Question
Researchers believe that the biology of the individual is to blame. They have focussed on 3 areas of the brain. Which 3?
Answer
  • Reticular formation: helps processing of information we can ignore or act upon
  • Amygdala: located in our primitive Limbic system it is part of the fear and emotional response
  • Pre frontal cortex: situated in the frontal lobe it processes/regulates expression of personality and behaviour
  • Medulla Oblongata: regulates breathing, heart rate and other automatic processes
  • Cerebral cortex (grey matter): involved in sensation, memory, speech, sight, hearing and muscle control

Question 5

Question
The amygdala is responsible for learning from the negative consequences of our actions.
Answer
  • True
  • False

Question 6

Question
The [blank_start]amygdala[blank_end] is affected in people with APD. As a result they do not learn to avoid behaviour that [blank_start]harms[blank_end] themselves or other people. They are not affected by the [blank_start]distress[blank_end] that their victims show. [blank_start]Reduction[blank_end] of grey matter has been associated with this as it enables people to learn the [blank_start]social and moral[blank_end] behaviour of society and feel [blank_start]guilt[blank_end]. If this is [blank_start]smaller[blank_end] they are more likely to behave [blank_start]badly[blank_end] and not worry about the impact.
Answer
  • amygdala
  • hypothalamus
  • harms
  • destroys
  • supports
  • distress
  • anger
  • hopelessness

  • guilt
  • pleasure
  • smaller
  • larger
  • badly
  • well

Question 7

Question
Raine et al (2000) studied APD. Below are 2 aims, 2 methods, 2 results and 2 conclusions but only 1 of each are right. Can you pick the right ones.
Answer
  • Aim: To support the theory that APD is abnormal
  • Aim: To support the theory that abnormalities in the prefrontal cortex cause APD
  • Method: CT scanning was used to check the brain for abnormalities in 2 groups of men. All were volunteers.
  • Method: MRi scanning was used to study 21 men with APD and 34 healthy men. All were volunteers.
  • Results: The APD group had an 11% reduction in grey matter compared to the control.
  • Results: There was an 11% difference between the 2 groups of men.
  • Conclusion: There is a biological difference in the brains of those with APD.
  • Conclusion: APD is directly related to a reduction in grey matter.

Question 8

Question
This study supported the biological explanation of APD
Answer
  • True
  • False

Question 9

Question
This study only studied males and volunteers which might have affected the findings.
Answer
  • True
  • False

Question 10

Question
This study can be generalised to all areas of the population.
Answer
  • True
  • False

Question 11

Question
Behaviours linked to one brain area might be as a result from a deficit in another area making APD more complex than this study suggests.
Answer
  • True
  • False
