The recent devastation of South Australia as a result of heavy rainfall and flooding was highlighted on Channel 9 News. The high-stress that is generated by such events can help to identify an individual’s ability to be resilient in the face of adversity. Resilience in psychology refers to the capacity of an individual to endure adverse stress while maintaining a functioning physical and psychological state (Wu et al., 2013). Resilient individuals are able to adapt to stressful triggers and cope effectively. Furthermore, it can help to minimise the negative effects of trauma, and stress. The role of stress in building resilience is complex as too much stress can have negative effects. A study by Tronick, DiCorcia, Tucci, & Mitchell (2015) posits

Furthermore, it states that coping with everyday stressors builds up the capabilities of infants to adapt to later stresses. However, the successful regulation of stress is significantly dependent upon the infant-caregiver relationship. Flinchbaugh, Luth, & Li (2015) investigated the impact of stressors to individual thriving, resilience and life satisfaction. The findings showed that some stressors can have negative effect on life satisfaction but other stressors had a positive effect. Moreover, it also showed that resilience could help to lower the negative impact of stressors. Psychology can help the people suffering from natural disasters to cope with the trauma by increasing knowledge of effective coping methods. It can help to show the positive and negative effects of stress on an individual’s psychical and psychological well-being. Additionally, psychologists can give a fresh perspective on various ways of tackling the …show more content…
Brown, Gottschall, & Bennell (2015) examine various methods and modalities of criminal behaviour to understand crime. Hirschi’s control theory posits that the reason for people to commit a criminal behaviour as a result of an individual’s ties or bonds to society. Hirschi puts forth four distinct types of social bonds: (a) attachment to people and institutions with emotional bonds, respect and love; (b) commitment in aspiring for goals such as education and long-term employment; (c) involvement the level of involvement in various spheres such as education, and work; (d) belief in and recognition of law. Another model to perceive criminal behaviour is with classical conditioning. Eysenck used classical conditioning to explain the theory of criminal behaviour. He theorised that criminal behaviour is produced by an interaction between biological and environmental factors (Ireland, & Ireland, 2011). Furthermore, Eysenck thought that certain aspects of personality were key to criminal behaviour such as extraversion, neuroticism and psychoticism (Ireland et al., 2011). Glenn, & Raine (2014) examine the relationship between criminal behaviour and biology. Genetic studies of twins have helped researchers converge on genetic factors as playing a considerable role in antisocial personality and aggressive behaviour (Ferguson, 2010). These variables in genetics are seen as both innate traits
