Understand person centred approaches for care and support Person centred values is a theory developed by Carl Rogers that trusted the innate tendency (known as the actualising tendency) of human beings to find fulfilment of their personal potentials. An important part of this theory is that in a particular psychological environment, the fulfilment of personal potentials includes sociability, the need to be with others and a desire to know and be known by other people. It also includes being open to experience, being trusting and trustworthy, being curious about the world and being creative and compassionate. It is important to work in a way that encourages person centred values so that a person feels free from threat, both physically and mentally. This environment could be achieved when being in a relationship with a person who was very understanding, accepting and genuine.
What is the dependent variable? How would you define it operationally? Having Fun With Operational Definitions Adapted from teachpsychscience.org Directions: Identify and operationally define the independent and dependent variables in each of the following research ideas. Research Idea #1: A social psychologist was interested in whether people are more likely to exhibit conformity when they are in situations that make them feel nervous and unsure of themselves. What is the independent variable?
An Interpretation Of Morals Morality, in a simplified definition, is conformity to the rules of right conduct. Why then, do humans differ and struggle on acting upon and defining different morals? And why does it seem nearly impossible to find where morals came from? Well in Steven Pinker’s writing of “The Morality Instinct,” he shares with the audience that morality has developed into a sixth sense and that this sense of morality greatly affects the way us as humans make decisions. More importantly however, are auxiliary sources that further extended the arguments that Pinker makes throughout the rhetoric.
Defining Social Psychology Brandi K. Keller PSY/400 March 20, 2013 Dr. Timothy Doty Defining Social Psychology Throughout the years each field of science and each discipline relating to psychology has had to fight to prove its point and its relevance to the field; therefore, making each field of psychology worthy of its place within the science and academic communities. One of the many behaviors observed during this trial has been the way people think, influence, and relate to others otherwise known as social psychology. Friends, family, and collogues influence each other, which can be either a positive or a negative influence. How each person thinks and relates to these influences is what determines if the influence will be a positive
Rogers also believed that people are inherently good and creative. However, he thought that people could become destructive when a poor self concept (how one sees oneself in comparison to others) or external constraints override the valuing process. Rogers thought that for a client to experience therapeutic change, certain conditions had to be present within the relationship. These conditions he called “The Core Conditions”, which were empathy, congruence (genuineness) and unconditional positive regard (respect). When Rogers talked about empathy, he meant the therapist should continually try to understand the client from their point of view (enter into their world to get a sense of how it feels)
Also, even if the other person replies verbally his or her body language may show that they have not really understood or agreed. Observation helps understand the effectiveness of communication. Aiv Explain why it is important to find out about an individual’s: a) Communication and language needs b) Wishes and preferences People usually feel satisfied when they communicate well with individuals. Good communication enables individuals’ needs to be met and for care and support workers to feel they are not just doing the job but doing it in a way that allows individuals to have choice and control over their lives. Good communication will enable you to build strong professional relationships based on trust.
It looks at human behaviour, through the eyes of the individual who is behaving in a certain why. Psychologists who study the humanistic approach believe that individual’s behaviour is connected to their inner feelings how they emotionally feel and their self-image. This approach centres on the view that each individual is unique and has free will to change their mind at any time in any situation. The Humanistic approach can be used in counselling as it is used to encourage an individual’s self-esteem and self-image. An example would be an individual who over thought to much about feeling worthless and counselling thought it would help them.
Intrinsic motivation exists inside people, in an alternate sense natural inspiration exists in connection in middle of people and exercises. Individuals are characteristically persuaded for a few exercises and not others, and not everybody is inherently inspired for any specific errand. Because intrinsic motivation exists in the nexus between a person and a task, some authors have define intrinsic motivation in terms of task being interesting while others have defined it in terms of satisfactions a person gains from intrinsically motivated task engagement ( Ryan and Deci, 2000, pg.
“I am human and let nothing human be alien to me.” (Yalom, 2002, p 21). This quote embodies the meaning of empathy for me. Empathy is so much more than just understanding what the other person is feeling. In order to be truly empathetic, the counsellor needs to be aware of the ‘little’ nuances that the client brings to the counselling session – their body language, tone, method of communication and voice inflections, all contribute to listening and understanding with empathy. Tolan describes empathy as exploring another person’s inner world and understanding or having insight into their unspoken feelings and emotions.
A big draw to self-help groups is the assumption that there is someone out there that understands “how I feel.” For most they seek understanding and identification with someone that has already been through it. For those participating in the group the “interactions between members are seen as potentially therapeutic and members are encouraged to speak freely of their feelings toward each other and the group (Haeseler, 1992, p. 2). However it is important to look at the ethical implications for all involved in the process and when considering that information we are made aware of concerns within
