    The answer is below

    Explanation:

    Here are the major contemporary perspective;

    1. Psychoanalytic School: this is a school of thought founded by Sigmund Freud. It described the influence of the unconscious mind on behavior. It is said that, human mind is composed of three elements: which are id, ego, and superego.

    Hence, Oraina behavior is influenced by her ego and superego; a sense of self importance, this is shown in her not imagining dating much less marrying any of the men at her school.

    2. Behaviorist Perspective : The behaviorist perspective is a theory of psychology that describes how the human behaviors are learned, through environmental factors.

    Hence, Oriana constant outburst or anger could have been as a result of her membership in a club called Students Against Mean People.

    3. Humanist Perspective: The humanistic perspective is a psychological approach that emphasizes empathy and focus on the good in human behavior.

    Hence, this shows her state of happiness and the willingness to join several clubs, while also taking active roles.

    4. Cognitive Perspective: The cognitive perspective deals with mental functions such as memory, perception, attention, etc. It describes the ability of an individual to reason through logic.

    Hence, this shows how often times, she had or made loud argument and angry debates, instead of presenting her argument based on logic and facts.

    5. Biological Perspective: The biological perspective describes the psychological issues affecting or relating to animal and human behavior. Such as brain, immune system, nervous system, and genetics.

    Hence, Oriana behavior could be related to genetics, or family line of history.

    6. Evolutionary Perspective: this is a psycological approach that seeks to describe positive mental and psychological traits-such as memory, perception, or language-as a result of adaptation or natural selection.

    Hence, it can be inferred that, Oriana's behavior may have been influenced by her adaptation to new environment, which is the University she is attending.

    7. Socio-cultural Perspective: this is a psychological approach to explain how surroundings influenced individual's behaviors.

    Hence, this can explain Oriana' behavior or loud argument during a football game, as this may have been as a result of the surrounding of the stadium, which is characterized by its large and energetic crowd.
