Phsycology

Holistic perspective (BIOPSYCHOSOCIAL)

I think its when you do something because you've seen other people do it or it is when you start do to an action because it is something biological, but it is like for example. You start having an addiction to something because it is biological to have that addiction. But don't think that it is really common.
