Study Notes
Theoretical Approaches to Human Behavior
-
Psychoanalytic Approach (Freud): Human behavior results from the interaction of conscious and unconscious mental processes. Behavior is determined by irrational forces and biological drives.
-
Neo-Psychoanalytic Approach (Horney, Adler): Acknowledges the importance of early childhood experiences and social/cultural factors alongside unconscious and biological drives. Expands on Freud's psychoanalytic ideas.
-
Behavioral Approach (Skinner): Suggests that behavior is shaped and determined by external environmental factors (conditioning).
-
Cognitive Approach (Beck): Focuses on how thoughts influence behavior and personality development. Behavior is influenced by how we process information.
-
Humanistic Approach (Rogers): Emphasizes the whole person, the uniqueness of each individual, and free will. Experience is subjective, and individuals are motivated toward self-improvement.
-
Genetic Approach (McCrae & Costa, Zuckerman): Human behavior is characterized by traits that are largely inherited.
-
Social-Learning Approach (Rotter): Learning occurs through observation and internal mental states. Learned behaviors may not always result in a change of behavior.
-
Cognitive-Behavioral Approach (Seligman): Focuses on current experiences to develop coping mechanisms, rather than past experiences.
Comparing Theoretical Approaches
-
Similarities: All approaches seek to understand human behavior, and different perspectives may exist within the same approach, such as with Freud vs. Neo-Freudians.
-
Differences: The primary focus and underlying mechanisms differ greatly between perspectives, as does how theories are used in assessment and intervention. For example, Skinner's approach to behavior change may be contrasted with Rogers humanistic perspective concerning the core self.
Skinner's Reinforcement Theory
- Reinforcement: Strengthens a response; increases the probability of a specific behavior.
- Extinction: Eliminates or decreases the probability of a behavior.
- Operant Behavior: Behavior voluntarily emitted and influences the environment. It's contrasted with respondent behavior in classical conditioning.
- Operant Conditioning: Associating an action/response with its consequence to modify future behavior.
- Positive vs. Negative: Positive: adding something/reinforcement. Negative: removing something/reinforcement.
Schedules of Reinforcement
- Fixed Interval: Reinforcement after a fixed amount of time.
- Variable Interval: Reinforcement after an unpredictable amount of time.
- Fixed Ratio: Reinforcement after a fixed number of responses.
- Variable Ratio: Reinforcement after an unpredictable number of responses.
Behavior Modification Techniques and Applications
-
Token Economy: A system of using tokens to reinforce desired behaviors. This commonly involves an exchange system for rewards.
-
Punishment: Application of an unpleasant stimulus to decrease a behavior.
-
Negative Reinforcement: Removing an unpleasant stimulus to increase a behavior.
-
Omission Training (negative punishment): Taking away a pleasant stimulus to decrease a behavior
-
Cognitive Distortions*
-
Systematic errors in reasoning often present during stress or distress.
-
Examples include arbitrary inference, selective abstraction, overgeneralization, magnification/minimization, and personalization.
