  • Psychological Theories of Behaviour

    Anders Behring Breivik was a Norwegian extremist and a terrorist who had bombed a government building and then shot and killed a number of youths at a camp. His actions were not impulsive, but instead meticulously planned. For years he fostered feelings of hatred and aggression, particularly after his failed businesses and his involvement with the right wing terror organization whose ideology was on anti-Islam and anti-mulitculturism. Breivik perceived that Muslims were invading Europe and conspiring with politicians to take over Norway. Hence, his decision to destroy the present and future politicians of government. Allport (1920), in his theory of Social Facilitation, fleshes out the impression that the presence of others (the social group) can facilitate certain behaviour (McLeod, 2007).

    Barbara Coloroso developed a third classroom management approach known as Inner Discipline in 2002. Coloroso was a former nun and is now a teacher and an author. She firmly dislikes the idea of a “quick-fix” solution to discipline problems. Instead, she advices teachers to focus on helping students develop inner discipline that will allow them to recognize their mistakes, and allow them to take responsibility for her or his actions. Even more, teachers should encourage students to think through solutions, and correct their faults. Santilli & Hudson (1992) suggest that this can be achieved by simply discussing ethical and moral problems that are in the news. Encouraging adolescents to think through issues out loud. Without challenging his or her point of view, wonder aloud about how others might have different perspectives on the issue and what might cause others to have these different perspectives. Teachers who follow this approach believe that school becomes a place where both teachers and students work together to learn, relate, grow and create a community.

    By its nature, psychodynamic approach recognises that experiences in childhood have an influence throughout our lives without the person being aware of it. It provides an important framework for judging one 's personality and behaviour. For example, the reason for a person committing a murder may be the fact that his violent father has always physically-punished him since childhood. Though, behavioural approach argues most of the human behaviour is mechanical, and one 's personality is simply the product of stimuli and responses. Therefore, the psychodynamic approach acknowledges everyone can suffer mental illnesses and conflicts without their

    1444 Words  | 3 Pages

    Introduction When most laymen think about psychology, a version of the psychodynamic theory is surely what comes to mind. Most people have heard of Freud and the somewhat ridiculous notions that he brought about over a century ago. What many people may not understand is just how advanced the psychodynamic theory was at the time it came about. Although this theory definitely has some flaws, it has some astonishingly valid aspects to it as well. An analysis of this Freudian theory shows that there are both strengths and weaknesses to the psychodynamic theory, and that it can still be applicable to modern-day social work.
