03. Billy, a straight “A” high school student and football star, takes his position on the line of scrimmage. The game is tied 14–14, with only 10 seconds left. It’s fourth down, and the ball is on the 12 yard line. Tomorrow morning Billy has to take his SATs. Having spent the night studying for the all-important exam, Billy is working on 4 hours of sleep. As the play begins, Billy runs his passing route, but instead of running a post corner route, he runs out of the back of the end zone, and into the traffic filled street. His injuries end his football career and postpone his dream of college. List and briefly explain 6 different perspectives of psychology. Then explain which one best explains why Billy freaked out.
