Social learning theory comes from the idea that human beings ability to learn new behaviours by the way we see that certain individual perform that behaviour. For example if a teenager saw a fellow friend act in a certain manner of way then he/she is most likely to copy that behaviour. Gender, statues, fame, prestige, competence are all different factors that can make us imitate another person. Solomon Asch (1950) came up with a concept called the “majority influences. The people that we get inspired by are called role models.
the social learning theory claims that the presence of other people around has a big impact on our behaviour. also it is state that a person has the experience of people putting pressure on you and which causes your mind and behaviour to change psychologists have studied the impact it has on how individual's attitudes, beliefs and behaviours tend to change when they are ''group pressured'' Social learning theory is the view that people learn by observing others. Associated with Albert Bandura's work in the 1960s, social learning theory explains how people learn new behaviours, values, and attitudes. For example, a teenager might learn slang by observing peers. Social learning requires attention to the person(s) observed, remembering the observed behaviour.
1 COMPARE & AND CONTRAST HOW CONTENT ANALYSIS AND ETHNOGRAPHIC RESEARCH HAVE BEEN USED TO STUDY CHILDRENS UNDERSTANDING OF FRIENDSHIP. The research into the concept of children’s friendships is very recent. It has been studied by a number of psychologists. The aim of this essay is two compare and contrast two different research methods used by renowned psychologists whilst researching children’s understanding of friendship. This essay will mainly focus on the work of Bigelow & La Gaipa (1974) and William Corsaro, to look at the methods they used and, with the information they uncover ,we can see the similarities & the differences which arise from their research.
The reason for this will be highlighted throughout the essay: making it important to analyse the basic concepts of the model and understand how the principles and theories of psychodynamic counselling relates to other counselling models. It is also important to identify why this particular model’s attributes would suit me as a potential client. There are several branches of Psychodynamic approach such as; Ego Psychology, which tends to focus on enhancing and maintaining the client’s ego function in accordance with the demands of reality: Object Relations psychology identifies how people are shaped in relation to the people around them, again this focusses on relationships children have throughout their developmental stages: Self Psychology observes that a person encounters problems when they lack self-esteem, and that subsequently effects their relationships (Gross, 2010). A key principle of a Psychodynamic counsellor is that people tend to have bad relationships because they repeat destructive patterns from their past. Clients will transfer feelings from the past onto new people in their lives and therefore repeat the pattern over and over again.

This will help me explain the triggers of stress as a Social Worker and how it must be dealt with through
Evaluate the extent to which Freud's theory of psychosexual development can help us to understand a client's presenting issue? In psychodynamic counselling the clients need or desire to relate their past experience's to their current presenting issues is very beneficial, and is seen as a step towards changing their current situation, by linking the past with the present situation helps the client to relieve themselves of any baggage that they may have been carrying around with them. Psychodynamic counselling aims to map out the client's past to present creating a mutual understanding between the client and therapist. During this process it is essential that the therapist uses the correct treatment, often diagnosed during sessions leading on from the initial consultation in the 'mid game' of therapy, second session onwards until a desired goal is achieved. It is vital that the therapist listens carefully and uses their intuition in order to pick up on what is mentioned and indeed also what is not mentioned noticing in particular moods and body changes in the client as they recall their past experiences sometimes a client will avoid talking about the very reason for their presenting problem for example they may talk openly about their mother but not mention their father at all and he may or may not be the problem.
Relational Cultural Theory Name University Abstract Relational cultural theory (RCT) is a branch of psychology that refers to people interacting with others through the lens of relationships. When it is understood that relationships are the framework for thinking about how to guide interactions and self-awareness, the therapist and client can see how self-destructive isolation is and can work toward remedying that issue. The following paper examines the fundamental assumptions of RCT and how it differs from the traditional approach of psychological work toward men and women, otherwise espoused in ideas on the old psychology of men and women according to gender roles and human development. Principles and Fundamental Assumptions RCT was developed and advanced during the 1970’s by Jean Baker Miller, M.D., as an alternative approach to traditional psychology in dealing with men and women; RCT mostly refers to a feminist perspective, where relationships are emphasized as a lens to psychotherapy. Relationships are the core of RCT, as a guiding framework in understanding and healing in psychotherapy.
Social Psychology and Multicultural Psychology Paper Define social psychology. With the mind being the axis in which social behavior pivots around, social psychologists will study what the relationship is between a person’s mind and their social behavior. Social psychology it will try to attempt to understand what the relationship is between the mind, social groups, and social behavior in three different ways. The first way would be that they try to understand how people’s thoughts, their feelings, and their behaviors, will be influenced by the actual presence, the imagined presence, or even the implied presence of other people. The second way would be to try to understand what the influence is on a person’s perception and on their behavior when it comes to the behavior of a social group.
Parents, guardians, and siblings should be encouraged to look out for each other, so as to avoid situations, where teenagers and adolescents try to seek solace in alcohol. School and Peer Influences It is well known that during adolescence and puberty, youths usually strive to gain acceptance from their peers. It is through the need to gain this acceptance that some teenagers start consuming alcohol. Teenagers and adolescents often want to belong to certain groups whose behaviors and values are similar. If drinking alcohol is a normal activity for a given peer group, then a teenager who associates himself or herself with such a group is more likely of becoming an underage drinker.
It is important for parents to communicate with the people that are capable of providing insight about the behavior of their child. Some school-based youth suicide awareness programs exist to increase students' awareness of the problem, provide knowledge about the behavioral characteristics of adolescents at risk, and describe available treatment or counseling resources. Also, community programs that build adolescents' self-esteem and inspire a sense of inclusion in society have been found to be particularly effective. This can include activities like cultural enrichment, computer training, tutoring, job counseling, sexuality
