My Own Personal Communication Behaviour
1. Introduction
The following study investigates an area of my own personal communication behaviour. It is based on communicative events over the course of a
single weekend day in which I usually spend studying until the afternoon, then take part in martial arts training. I have been studying towards my
degree part time as well as working over the past five years which often leads to built up stress. The key aspect of my communication to be examined is
that my de facto partner often comments about how grumpy I am a lot of the time. For the purposes of this study, grumpy will be defined as moody,
silent and bad–tempered (Grumpy, 2001; Sulky, 2001). Through the process of conversational analysis (Saville–Troike, 2003) my aim was to discover
whether there were any activities over the course of the day involving verbal and nonverbal communication that triggered my negative mood. My
hypothesis in this case is that my current work–study stress results in less friendly conversations in everyday interactions with my partner that she
perceives as my grumpiness.
What was found through the analysis was that indeed, conversations that had a grumpy tone were preceded by activities likely to cause my work–study
stress. Further, when this stress was reduced it resulted in friendlier conversations. I will attempt to further explain this communicative behaviour
through the Spillover–Crossover Model (Demerouti, Bakker, & Schaufeli, 2005), Emotional Contagion Theory (Kimura, Daibo, & Yogo,

Theories Of Lifestyle And Health Behaviour
Lifestyles and Health Behavior According to Psychologists
Psychologists have created a number of theories to explain why it is that people continue to practice bad behaviours such as smoking, when they are
aware of the dangers involved. The health belief model created by Becker and Rosenstock in 1984 describes that people will only practice good
behaviours such as visiting the doctor when making assessments of:
Г Perceived seriousness of health problem
Г Perceived susceptibility
Г Perceived costs and benefits.
For example the HBM predicts that an individual will only quit smoking if she believes that she is likely to get lung cancer, that lung cancer is a
severe health threat,...show more content...
The health locus of control is a term used to refer to an individual perception of personal control over their behaviour. Some people have an external
locus of control meaning they believe they have little to do with their health and well–being because it is all down to situation factors, luck, fate and
other people. Other people have internal locus of control, they believe that their health and well–being depends on the decisions they themselves make.
So for example if an external individual is urged to carry out protected sex as opposed to unprotected they are unlikely to comply because they believe
that they are not responsible for their health.
An individuals unrealistic optimism is their inaccurate perception of risk and susceptibility. The theory created by Weinstein in 1983 states that one
reason why people continue to practice unhealthy behaviours is because they don't see their own level of risk. They don't believe it will ever actually
happen to them. For example an individual may carry out unsafe sex because she doesn't see herself getting pregnant or catching any STD's even
though she is aware that it is common. She estimates her own level of risk being lower than others. Weinstein also claimed that people show selective
focus. For example they ignore the fact the are

Essay about Ethical Behavior
The definition of ethical behavior or ethics as a whole is one that eludes many people. There have been many philosophers that have tried to create
a set of guidelines that create a code or baseline to a decision. Immanuel Kant is one such person who has created some of the bases that all theories
have been based. Kant's principals or the categorical imperative is the base for the "Golden Rule"; which is taught to young children. Do on to
others, as you would have others do on to you. To quote Kant, "Act that your principle of action might safely be made a law for the whole world."
Ethical behavior is the way that a person should act using a set of rules or standards that have been formed within a community of people. These

If the decision hurts more people than it helps then the action should be deemed unethical. This is just one method of finding the ethicality of an
action. In this situation bribing a public official is unethical because it creates an environment where that public official is loyal to both the
company as well as the constituents that elected them. This creates a situation where the official may have to choose the company that gave them
money over the will of the people that have placed their faith and power on them. Laws are the written word that states what can and cannot be
done. Most of these laws are based on ethical principals. It is illegal to willfully kill another person without extenuating circumstances being
present. This law is to help protect all people's lives from the actions of other people. This law is ethical in most circumstances but if we use the
same calculation as before we could find a situation where killing a person could be justified as "for the common good". One example of this would
be a serial killer; this type of person is dangerous and is a menace to society. Using common logic it would be acceptable to remove this person from
the public, thus protecting a large portion of the population from harm. In this situation is it ethical to kill another human being? Some people say that
there are no circumstances where

Challenging behaviour can be explored in every client group however the client group explored here is older adults within informal care. Due to the
Data Protection Act 1998 the name of the older adult involved in the care has been changed to Client X. Why challenging behaviour occurs can be
explored and explained through many different avenues such as through the use of psychological theories and situational factors that can effect
behaviour.

As a way of helping Client X she was given as much independence as possible to try and make the transition easier. As she became used to the carers
coming into the house she soon became glad of the company due to being unable to get out of the house on her own. This then grew an element of trust
between the client and the carer which meant that she was then more willing to participate with the carers and would communicate with them on a
regular basis.
Challenging behaviour can be explained through the use of psychological theories, Maslow's theory, and his hierarchy of needs is based on motivation
and that every person is driven to grow into a self–actualised person (Bingham et.al. 2009:86). Maslow's hierarchy of needs has six stages;
Physiological Needs, Safety Needs, Love and Belonging Needs, Self–Esteem Needs, Fulfilment Needs and Self–actualisation. This theory relates to
Client X because all her physiological needs are being met through the attention of her carers. Some of her safety needs are being met through safety
of family and she has a home, however due to having to take medication every day and being unable to walk without the use of a walking aid is
affecting her sufficiently meeting all of her safety needs. This would then cause Client X to display challenging behaviour because she wanted to be
more independent and be able to walk without

Classroom Behavior Essay
Would you be surprised to learn that in today's classroom children sometimes aren't learning due to behavioral issues? Teachers are attempting to teach
classes in which students can be disruptive, disrespectful and defiant. Classrooms are often overcrowded which adds to the frustration of the situation.
Teachers are often tempted to take the easy way out, using antiquated strategies that will usually not help the child to learn. In fact, some types of
punishments can actually cause the child to become even more rebellious. The child can experience a sense of worthlessness after being punished again
and again.
Children do not act out because they are "bad." They act out in the hopes of receiving some kind of response or reward. In the...show more content...
On the other hand, if that child fills the need for attention by getting into trouble at school, they will get into trouble. Skinner tells us that
"non–reinforcement leads to the extinction of a behavior." In other words if teachers figure out what the child is getting from exhibiting a particular
behavior, they can then give that child the exact opposite of the expected response. If our response is consistent the child will eventually give up the
behavior in lieu of another which yields more satisfying results. The reward system is sometimes turned around to reinforce poor behavior. Often,
children who are misbehaving are looking for some sort of a reaction. It is possible that they believe that it is better to not even try than to try and fail.
It could also be true that the only type of attention they receive comes from the instances in which they misbehave. Although as adults it may seem
logical that one would avoid being singled out or chastised, children who have little sense of self worth will "take what they can get." Skinner calls his
strategy for dealing with disruption "non–reinforcement." Skinner's theory claims that "non–reinforcement leads to extinction of behavior." By
ignoring disruptive behavior, a teacher can extinguish it. Eventually, the disruptive student will realize that their behavior will not gain any response
will seek another way to belong to the group.

Essay about Behavior Psychology
Behavior Psychology Psychology is defined as a science that focuses on the study of and to explain the way human's think, behave, and feel. The
behaviourist school of psychology is concerned with the explanation of behaviour through observable outcomes without making reference to mental
events. Behaviourism is very narrow and can be strongly objected in its approach to psychology as it does not consider the mental thought process
involvement in behaviour. This school of psychology is very much about nurture rather than...show more content...
The belief is that human behaviour can be trained because human emotions are so malleable therefore personality is forever changeable (Cohen, 1979).
Behaviour is simply a reaction to a stimulus which once learned becomes part of learned habit. It was also believed learning occurs through the
reinforcement of certain aspects of the situation. Reinforcement is when something is added to the situation which makes the same reaction in that
situation more likely in future (McInerney, 1998). The belief was that most of behaviour is a result of what has been learnt, which is to say that it is the
result of the environment rather than biological influences. Therefore the study of learning and the conditions under which it occurs is the core project
of behaviourism (Tennant, 1997) Behaviouristic therapy is aimed at the modification of behaviour especially undesirable ones by mainly reinforcing
the desirable behaviour and suppressing or punishing the undesirable and unwanted behaviour. Once the therapist has identified the behaviour and
triggering factors they may employ several techniques to condition or recondition the person's behaviour. These methods of therapy have been derived
and adapted by experiments done by earlier behaviourists such as Pavlov, Watson and Skinner. Methods used today

Behaviour For Learning
Introduction
Behaviour for learning refers to the pressure on schools to constantly attempt to raise attainments (Department for Children, Schools and Families
2009). This has come about because of schools trying to raise standards for their students that can be identified in the teaching standards which
promotes the raising of standard for students. Adams (2009) says 97 percent of new qualified teachers believe managing student behaviour is one of the
most important issues for them in the teaching field. Behaviour cannot be separated from learning as they are intrinsically linked together (Ellis and
Tod, 2009). Behaviour for learning therefore becomes one of the most important issue for newly qualified teachers and trainee teachers. This reflective

Essay about Behavior
Behavior–
Behave, it its root form, means to contain or to have. In the reflective sense, it means 'to have bear oneself'. To use the word behave in common
conversation, it is understood as to 'behave well'. As for the phrase 'to behave badly', it is understood immediately.
Behavior is looked at in society as the way a person presents him or herself in a given situation. It is also related to the specialized sense of manners.
Use of the noun to refer to public conduct or, in a moral sense, to a general range of activities is still quite common.
But the term is also used in relation to plants, lower organisms and animals to describe the apparent activity of the whole organism.

Different stages of bourgeois society led to different stages of the capitalist mode of economic production. It is often difficult to separate the meaning
of bourgeois from the meaning used to describe historically distinct periods and phrases of social and cultural development. The bourgeois ideology of
settled independent citizens is clearly not the same as the bourgeois ideology of the highly mobile agents of a para–national corporation. There are also
some problems between bourgeois and capitalist, which are often used interchangeably but which are primarily distinguishable as social and economic
terms.
There can be difficulties of usage, associated with some of the most intense controversies of analysis, when the same word is used for the whole
society in which one class is dominate and for a specific class within that whole society.

Introduction
To organizations, humans are wonderful resources, because they are compact and multi–purpose, capable of simple manual tasks or dealing with
complicated machines. However, there is a problem – how to get employees work effectively and productively? Is their behaviour just a reflection of
individual differences? Or can they achieve more effective and efficient performance as motivated by organization?

Personality, as one of those differences, can reflect the ability or inability to cope with the expectation and demands of organizations. An introvert, for
example, would possibly not contribute himself to the job which requires expressiveness and implusiveness (such as salesman or M.C.).
Individual values, attitudes, needs and expectations which build up human behaviour explain why and how individuals are motivated to satisfy
themselves for certain goals in certain ways (Rosenfeld & Wilson 1999). The question about how motivation dominates individual behaviour will be
discussed in the following essay.
2. Motivation and theories ––––––––––––––––––––––––––

Motivation can be described as the driving force of individual behaviour to fulfill needs or achieve goals. Mitchell defines motivation as 'the degree to
which an individual wants and chooses to engage in certain specified behaviours' (Mullins 2002:418). In terms of this definition, various theories have
been developed around. These include firstly, the early theories of motivation such as Maslow's hierarchy of needs and Herzberg's two–factor theory of
motivation or motivation hygiene theory, and secondly, contemporary theories such as McClelland's theory of needs, cognitive evaluation theory,

Eating behaviour is a complex behaviour that involves a vast array of factors which has a great impact on the way we choose our meals. Food choice,
like an other behaviour, is influenced by several interrelated factors. While hunger seems to drive our ways of food consumption, there are things
outside of our own bodies that influence our food choices and the way in which we eat. The way we eat is controlled by and is a reflection of our
society and cultures. I explore this idea through a food diary I created over a few weeks and the observations made by several anthropologists that I
have studied.

I eventually grew to like the taste in later years. The incorporation of these childhood 'treats' came be seen in the food diary that I kept. They had
become a familiar part of my diet as I began to demonstrate brand loyalty. I had a preference of KFC over Burger King and McDonalds, Pizza Hut over
Pizza Pizza, etc.
A close examination of the food diary allowed people to see that our family tended to have large meals to together only on Sundays and sporadic,
smaller meals on other days. This was partially due to culture and the socialization of food. Keeping up with the fast pace lifestyle created a different
schedule types for the family members, hence, different eating patterns. Many people of the North American society still try to enforce family time
where they eat together. They cling to the ideal that families eating together fixes personal and societal ills (smoking, obesity, children's vulnerability
to drugs, etc.) and that it is a way to kindle children's success in school (Ochs, Elinor, and Beck 2013:49). During the week, snack items and small
meals made up my diet. This was quick and easy food preparation was one of the issues, apart from schedules, that stopped our family from eating

Children will always need guidance in what good behaviour is and it is the adult/carer role to teach them. Working with children who have
behavioural issues as a result of neglect and abuse I often see children acting in negative ways as a way of seeking attention. This is a result of their
lived experiences and they need to be taught how to seek attention in a more positive way that allows for less chaos and full of growth. Behaviour of
such kind is also an indicator something is not right and they lack the right communication skills or are not being heard. It is important that we try to

The rules of the game are simple and can be taught in about 20 minutes. Within five easy steps, students can be taught to play the Good Student Game.
Step 1: Define student appropriate behaviors (such as listening, following directions, paying attention and trying their best). Step 2: Have students
role–play examples and non–examples of good student behavior (such as "thumbs up" or "thumbs down"). Step 3: Have student's model examples of
acceptable and non–acceptable behaviors (such as talking out of turn, getting out of their seat without permission, etc). While the students are
modeling such behaviors, the teacher will monitor good student behaviors (those who were doing as they were asked). Step 4: Practice playing the
Good Student Game. Divide the class into two teams. Write team names on the chalkboard. If any student breaks a rule while the game is going on,
the teacher makes a mark by the name of the team in which the disruptive student is a member. When the end of time (teacher instruction) is complete,
the team who has the fewest marks are the winners. Step 5: Reward the team with the fewest marks, for meeting the criteria required (Tankersley,

As an instructor, you should always be clear about exactly what you expect and what the consequences will be if rules and limits are broken.
9. Clarify your Beliefs about Guiding Behavior: It is important to be certain about what you want for children in the classroom and at home. Use a
philosophy of education to guide your teaching and review it often, be sure you are always doing your best to do best for the children in your classroom.
10. Use Social Constructivist Approach: Teachers should always be guiding students to behave in a socially appropriate and productive way. Once
again, you are a role model, be the best role model you can be, children are watching your decision making and behaviors. Make responsible choices
so children can ape this behavior.
11. Help Children Build New Behaviors: Give children praise when necessary. I am a strong believer in the power of positive reinforcement, children
react positively when you reward them for making good choices. It is important that children know you recognize they are choosing to make a good
choice because it lets them know you are watching them and acknowleding their efforts to control their behavior.

children's behavior.

MTSS as Prevention. Schools are an ideal place to assist children with mental health issues. Using a preventive model, such as the MTSS model
described above, to catch problems early may prevent children from developing more serious or longer–term problems. Research indicates that treating
children who are at–risk for emotional and behavioral problems can decrease the likelihood that they will later be diagnosed with a mental health
disorder while also lowering the healthcare costs. However, traditionally, behavior problems have not been addressed until a student receives one or
more office discipline referrals, and there tends to be a two–year gap between the time that the child first receives an outside diagnosis and when they
begin receiving services in the schools.
Universal screeners provide schools information that may help prevent future office disciplinary referrals and prevent future behavior challenges.
Therefore, providing a universal screener may identify children who would otherwise not receive services until the problem behavior becomes severe.
Previous research demonstrates that children who were identified by the Behavioral and Emotional Screening System (BESS) as at–risk earned lower
report grades than their peers, whether or not they were deemed at–risk according to traditional teacher referral

This article was very informative. I was aware of the negative attitudes some teachers can have towards students having encountered a few of these
myself. What I was unaware of, however, was that the reciprocal effect of negative behavior. When a teacher demands, a child reacts negatively and as
such the teacher responds with more assertion. This obviously is not a good thing when trying to deal with children who have EBD. I also feel that the
classroom strategies offered by the authors could be extremely helpful in future situations that I may encounter. Giving students the chance to
participate in determining the rules may result in the desired positive effect.

Behavioral Model Of Human Behavior
Skinner was a behaviorist who wanted to provide a method for understanding human behavior, thoughts, and emotions. Skinner believed that classical
conditioning was to simplistic to be a complete explanation of the complex human behavior. Skinner believed the best way to understand any behavior
is to look directly at the causes of an action and its consequences. He defined this approach as operant conditioning. Operant conditioning is defined as "
the idea that behavior is determined by its consequences, be they reinforcements or punishments, which make it more or less likely that the behavior
will occur again" (B. F. Skinner, 2011). The behavioral model observes human behavior as a practical and useful response. This model acknowledges
that every behavior has a purpose and has advanced from the earlier stages of a person's understanding. Skinner created a way to allow individuals the
ability to avoid negative behaviors. His theory uses positive and negative reinforcements while covering affective punishments to make sure a student's
bad behavior does not turn into a pattern. According to our textbook, "one defining characteristic of the behavioral model is that it views behavior from
a functional perspective in terms that are both measurable and observable (Wheeler, 2014,p.17)."
Skinner's positive reinforcement starts by promoting good behavior in the classroom through the promise of a reward. Skinner created a rewards
system that is said to help shape human behavior in a

What may affect childrens behaviour
Separation from the childs main carer can affect the childs behaviour a lot if they find it hard to separate from them. If a child cries it is obvious they
find it hard to cope with this, trying to distract the child may help the child to forget about the problem and start to enjoy themselves. The childrens
developmental stage includes how they see themselves and how they are with other children. If the child finds it hard to share with another child as
they may be an only child and never had to come across sharing before hand, it will be hard for them to understand this. Some of factors for

This is all due to a change of routine. Children especially with autism find it very hard to cope with a change, so it is important to let the child know
with or with out a disability children still find it hard to cope with changes. It is also going to affect the childs self–esteem if they're very upset and not
wanting to communicate with anyone new, they will become very emotional through out the day. From this they become bored and this is when you
mainly recognise a change to the childs behaviour, they might start to misbehave to get attention from staff, they may hurt children or may even
harm themselves. And also if the child faces the loss and grief of a family member the childs behaviour may change again, as they may see it as their
fault, or may wish they had done more when the person was alive. So it is a very hard time for children when they have to cope with a change.
What is behaviour =================
The younger the child is, the less they understand about behaviour, so when they reach the age of about 4 it is important for their main role leader to
start telling them about why we do the things we do. If a child misbehaves and the CW tells them to stop doing it, and if he/she catches them again
they will have a timeout. So if the child does this again it is important for the CW

My Own Personal Communication Behaviour

  • 1. My Own Personal Communication Behaviour 1. Introduction The following study investigates an area of my own personal communication behaviour. It is based on communicative events over the course of a single weekend day in which I usually spend studying until the afternoon, then take part in martial arts training. I have been studying towards my degree part time as well as working over the past five years which often leads to built up stress. The key aspect of my communication to be examined is that my de facto partner often comments about how grumpy I am a lot of the time. For the purposes of this study, grumpy will be defined as moody, silent and bad–tempered (Grumpy, 2001; Sulky, 2001). Through the process of conversational analysis (Saville–Troike, 2003) my aim was to discover whether there were any activities over the course of the day involving verbal and nonverbal communication that triggered my negative mood. My hypothesis in this case is that my current work–study stress results in less friendly conversations in everyday interactions with my partner that she perceives as my grumpiness. What was found through the analysis was that indeed, conversations that had a grumpy tone were preceded by activities likely to cause my work–study stress. Further, when this stress was reduced it resulted in friendlier conversations. I will attempt to further explain this communicative behaviour through the Spillover–Crossover Model (Demerouti, Bakker, & Schaufeli, 2005), Emotional Contagion Theory (Kimura, Daibo, & Yogo, Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 2. Theories Of Lifestyle And Health Behaviour Lifestyles and Health Behavior According to Psychologists Psychologists have created a number of theories to explain why it is that people continue to practice bad behaviours such as smoking, when they are aware of the dangers involved. The health belief model created by Becker and Rosenstock in 1984 describes that people will only practice good behaviours such as visiting the doctor when making assessments of: Г Perceived seriousness of health problem Г Perceived susceptibility Г Perceived costs and benefits. For example the HBM predicts that an individual will only quit smoking if she believes that she is likely to get lung cancer, that lung cancer is a severe health threat,...show more content... The health locus of control is a term used to refer to an individual perception of personal control over their behaviour. Some people have an external locus of control meaning they believe they have little to do with their health and well–being because it is all down to situation factors, luck, fate and other people. Other people have internal locus of control, they believe that their health and well–being depends on the decisions they themselves make. So for example if an external individual is urged to carry out protected sex as opposed to unprotected they are unlikely to comply because they believe that they are not responsible for their health. An individuals unrealistic optimism is their inaccurate perception of risk and susceptibility. The theory created by Weinstein in 1983 states that one reason why people continue to practice unhealthy behaviours is because they don't see their own level of risk. They don't believe it will ever actually happen to them. For example an individual may carry out unsafe sex because she doesn't see herself getting pregnant or catching any STD's even though she is aware that it is common. She estimates her own level of risk being lower than others. Weinstein also claimed that people show selective focus. For example they ignore the fact the are

  • 4. Essay about Ethical Behavior The definition of ethical behavior or ethics as a whole is one that eludes many people. There have been many philosophers that have tried to create a set of guidelines that create a code or baseline to a decision. Immanuel Kant is one such person who has created some of the bases that all theories have been based. Kant's principals or the categorical imperative is the base for the "Golden Rule"; which is taught to young children. Do on to others, as you would have others do on to you. To quote Kant, "Act that your principle of action might safely be made a law for the whole world." Ethical behavior is the way that a person should act using a set of rules or standards that have been formed within a community of people. These communities...show more content... If the decision hurts more people than it helps then the action should be deemed unethical. This is just one method of finding the ethicality of an action. In this situation bribing a public official is unethical because it creates an environment where that public official is loyal to both the company as well as the constituents that elected them. This creates a situation where the official may have to choose the company that gave them money over the will of the people that have placed their faith and power on them. Laws are the written word that states what can and cannot be done. Most of these laws are based on ethical principals. It is illegal to willfully kill another person without extenuating circumstances being present. This law is to help protect all people's lives from the actions of other people. This law is ethical in most circumstances but if we use the same calculation as before we could find a situation where killing a person could be justified as "for the common good". One example of this would be a serial killer; this type of person is dangerous and is a menace to society. Using common logic it would be acceptable to remove this person from the public, thus protecting a large portion of the population from harm. In this situation is it ethical to kill another human being? Some people say that there are no circumstances where Get more content on HelpWriting.net

Understanding And Supporting Behaviour Understanding and Supporting Behaviour DJ1N 34 Outcome 1 Marianne McNeillis HNC Social Care Group B Due Date: 8/10/14 Submission Date: /10/14 Word count: 1571 Challenging behaviour can be explored in every client group however the client group explored here is older adults within informal care. Due to the Data Protection Act 1998 the name of the older adult involved in the care has been changed to Client X. Why challenging behaviour occurs can be explored and explained through many different avenues such as through the use of psychological theories and situational factors that can effect behaviour. A class discussion found a definition of challenging behaviour to be 'Difficulty breaking though to or working with an individual/group...show more content... As a way of helping Client X she was given as much independence as possible to try and make the transition easier. As she became used to the carers coming into the house she soon became glad of the company due to being unable to get out of the house on her own. This then grew an element of trust between the client and the carer which meant that she was then more willing to participate with the carers and would communicate with them on a regular basis. Challenging behaviour can be explained through the use of psychological theories, Maslow's theory, and his hierarchy of needs is based on motivation and that every person is driven to grow into a self–actualised person (Bingham et.al. 2009:86). Maslow's hierarchy of needs has six stages;
  • 6. Physiological Needs, Safety Needs, Love and Belonging Needs, Self–Esteem Needs, Fulfilment Needs and Self–actualisation. This theory relates to Client X because all her physiological needs are being met through the attention of her carers. Some of her safety needs are being met through safety of family and she has a home, however due to having to take medication every day and being unable to walk without the use of a walking aid is affecting her sufficiently meeting all of her safety needs. This would then cause Client X to display challenging behaviour because she wanted to be more independent and be able to walk without Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 7. Classroom Behavior Essay Would you be surprised to learn that in today's classroom children sometimes aren't learning due to behavioral issues? Teachers are attempting to teach classes in which students can be disruptive, disrespectful and defiant. Classrooms are often overcrowded which adds to the frustration of the situation. Teachers are often tempted to take the easy way out, using antiquated strategies that will usually not help the child to learn. In fact, some types of punishments can actually cause the child to become even more rebellious. The child can experience a sense of worthlessness after being punished again and again. Children do not act out because they are "bad." They act out in the hopes of receiving some kind of response or reward. In the...show more content... On the other hand, if that child fills the need for attention by getting into trouble at school, they will get into trouble. Skinner tells us that "non–reinforcement leads to the extinction of a behavior." In other words if teachers figure out what the child is getting from exhibiting a particular behavior, they can then give that child the exact opposite of the expected response. If our response is consistent the child will eventually give up the behavior in lieu of another which yields more satisfying results. The reward system is sometimes turned around to reinforce poor behavior. Often, children who are misbehaving are looking for some sort of a reaction. It is possible that they believe that it is better to not even try than to try and fail. It could also be true that the only type of attention they receive comes from the instances in which they misbehave. Although as adults it may seem logical that one would avoid being singled out or chastised, children who have little sense of self worth will "take what they can get." Skinner calls his strategy for dealing with disruption "non–reinforcement." Skinner's theory claims that "non–reinforcement leads to extinction of behavior." By ignoring disruptive behavior, a teacher can extinguish it. Eventually, the disruptive student will realize that their behavior will not gain any response will seek another way to belong to the group. There are many Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 8. Essay about Behavior Psychology Behavior Psychology Psychology is defined as a science that focuses on the study of and to explain the way human's think, behave, and feel. The behaviourist school of psychology is concerned with the explanation of behaviour through observable outcomes without making reference to mental events. Behaviourism is very narrow and can be strongly objected in its approach to psychology as it does not consider the mental thought process involvement in behaviour. This school of psychology is very much about nurture rather than...show more content... The belief is that human behaviour can be trained because human emotions are so malleable therefore personality is forever changeable (Cohen, 1979). Behaviour is simply a reaction to a stimulus which once learned becomes part of learned habit. It was also believed learning occurs through the reinforcement of certain aspects of the situation. Reinforcement is when something is added to the situation which makes the same reaction in that situation more likely in future (McInerney, 1998). The belief was that most of behaviour is a result of what has been learnt, which is to say that it is the result of the environment rather than biological influences. Therefore the study of learning and the conditions under which it occurs is the core project of behaviourism (Tennant, 1997) Behaviouristic therapy is aimed at the modification of behaviour especially undesirable ones by mainly reinforcing the desirable behaviour and suppressing or punishing the undesirable and unwanted behaviour. Once the therapist has identified the behaviour and triggering factors they may employ several techniques to condition or recondition the person's behaviour. These methods of therapy have been derived and adapted by experiments done by earlier behaviourists such as Pavlov, Watson and Skinner. Methods used today Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 9. Behaviour For Learning Introduction Behaviour for learning refers to the pressure on schools to constantly attempt to raise attainments (Department for Children, Schools and Families 2009). This has come about because of schools trying to raise standards for their students that can be identified in the teaching standards which promotes the raising of standard for students. Adams (2009) says 97 percent of new qualified teachers believe managing student behaviour is one of the most important issues for them in the teaching field. Behaviour cannot be separated from learning as they are intrinsically linked together (Ellis and Tod, 2009). Behaviour for learning therefore becomes one of the most important issue for newly qualified teachers and trainee teachers. This reflective writing will look at how the trainee teacher will building relationships in the classrooms as a means of promoting behaviour for learning. The 3 relationships that promote behaviour for learning...show more content... They are relationship with self, relationship with others and relationship with the curriculum. According to Ellis and Todd (2009) relationship with self involves the students understanding about him or herself in terms of self–esteem and motivation while relationship with others involves how the student relates to his or her peers, teachers and parents and lastly relationship with the curriculum is the ability of the student to access the curriculum and understand it as it is being taught to Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 10. Essay about Behavior Behavior– Behave, it its root form, means to contain or to have. In the reflective sense, it means 'to have bear oneself'. To use the word behave in common conversation, it is understood as to 'behave well'. As for the phrase 'to behave badly', it is understood immediately. Behavior is looked at in society as the way a person presents him or herself in a given situation. It is also related to the specialized sense of manners. Use of the noun to refer to public conduct or, in a moral sense, to a general range of activities is still quite common. But the term is also used in relation to plants, lower organisms and animals to describe the apparent activity of the whole organism. One particular meaning followed from the extension of the...show more content... Different stages of bourgeois society led to different stages of the capitalist mode of economic production. It is often difficult to separate the meaning of bourgeois from the meaning used to describe historically distinct periods and phrases of social and cultural development. The bourgeois ideology of settled independent citizens is clearly not the same as the bourgeois ideology of the highly mobile agents of a para–national corporation. There are also some problems between bourgeois and capitalist, which are often used interchangeably but which are primarily distinguishable as social and economic terms. There can be difficulties of usage, associated with some of the most intense controversies of analysis, when the same word is used for the whole society in which one class is dominate and for a specific class within that whole society. Bureaucracy– Definition– the word Bureaucracy originated in English in the middle of the 1900's. The word bureau had its meaning of a writing desk with drawers. The American use of Bureaucracy has become more common, especially with references to foreign branches. As the word bureaucracy evolved, many different meanings have been taken to affect. The increasing scale of commercial organization, with a corresponding increase in government intervention and legal controls, and with the increasing importance of organized and professional central government, produced the political facts to which the new term pointed.

Employee Behaviour Essay examples Employee Behaviour Works Cited Missing Introduction To organizations, humans are wonderful resources, because they are compact and multi–purpose, capable of simple manual tasks or dealing with complicated machines. However, there is a problem – how to get employees work effectively and productively? Is their behaviour just a reflection of individual differences? Or can they achieve more effective and efficient performance as motivated by organization? According to Moorhead & Griffin (1998, 1), Employee performance is frequently described as a joint function of ability and motivation, and one of the primary tasks facing a manager is motivating employees to perform to the best of their...show more content... Personality, as one of those differences, can reflect the ability or inability to cope with the expectation and demands of organizations. An introvert, for example, would possibly not contribute himself to the job which requires expressiveness and implusiveness (such as salesman or M.C.). Individual values, attitudes, needs and expectations which build up human behaviour explain why and how individuals are motivated to satisfy themselves for certain goals in certain ways (Rosenfeld & Wilson 1999). The question about how motivation dominates individual behaviour will be discussed in the following essay. 2. Motivation and theories –––––––––––––––––––––––––– 2.1. Definition and theory framework –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– Motivation can be described as the driving force of individual behaviour to fulfill needs or achieve goals. Mitchell defines motivation as 'the degree to which an individual wants and chooses to engage in certain specified behaviours' (Mullins 2002:418).

Darbro (2013) defines disruptive behavior as "behavior that interferes with effect communication among healthcare providers and negatively impacts performance and outcomes" (Darbro, 2013, p. 16). Ruth Goose's behavior is disruptive. As a leader, her actions should promote effective communication among healthcare providers that will positively influence performance and outcomes. She is not doing that. Ruth is also micromanaging her nurses. She is forcing her views or beliefs on her nurses. This problem is a CQI problem, a risk management problem and an HRD problem. It is a CQI problem because such actions interfere with the processes of patient care. It is a risk management problem Get more content on HelpWriting.net

  • 16. Eating behaviour is a complex behaviour that involves a vast array of factors which has a great impact on the way we choose our meals. Food choice, like an other behaviour, is influenced by several interrelated factors. While hunger seems to drive our ways of food consumption, there are things outside of our own bodies that influence our food choices and the way in which we eat. The way we eat is controlled by and is a reflection of our society and cultures. I explore this idea through a food diary I created over a few weeks and the observations made by several anthropologists that I have studied. The way in which we choose our foods can stem from events that occur during early childhood. When I lived in Jamaica as a child, I was...show more content... I eventually grew to like the taste in later years. The incorporation of these childhood 'treats' came be seen in the food diary that I kept. They had become a familiar part of my diet as I began to demonstrate brand loyalty. I had a preference of KFC over Burger King and McDonalds, Pizza Hut over Pizza Pizza, etc. A close examination of the food diary allowed people to see that our family tended to have large meals to together only on Sundays and sporadic, smaller meals on other days. This was partially due to culture and the socialization of food. Keeping up with the fast pace lifestyle created a different schedule types for the family members, hence, different eating patterns. Many people of the North American society still try to enforce family time where they eat together. They cling to the ideal that families eating together fixes personal and societal ills (smoking, obesity, children's vulnerability to drugs, etc.) and that it is a way to kindle children's success in school (Ochs, Elinor, and Beck 2013:49). During the week, snack items and small meals made up my diet. This was quick and easy food preparation was one of the issues, apart from schedules, that stopped our family from eating together. When families are at home other reasons stop them from eating together.

  • 17. Children will always need guidance in what good behaviour is and it is the adult/carer role to teach them. Working with children who have behavioural issues as a result of neglect and abuse I often see children acting in negative ways as a way of seeking attention. This is a result of their lived experiences and they need to be taught how to seek attention in a more positive way that allows for less chaos and full of growth. Behaviour of such kind is also an indicator something is not right and they lack the right communication skills or are not being heard. It is important that we try to identify patterns of behaviour or triggers because: It can reveal what the child or young person gets (what need is being met) through their behaviour....show more content...

  • 18. Chapter 2: Literature Review The Good Behavior Game: An Oldie but a Goodie Many teachers, especially new teachers, struggle with off–task behaviors in the classroom and finding ways to implement strategies that will correct or improve those behaviors. When teachers systematically implement class–wide interventions, teacher–student interactions become more positive, students are more engaged, and teachers are able to focus on teaching appropriate behaviors (Conroy, Marsh, Snyder, & Sutherland, 1987). The Good Behavior Game (GBG) is a contingency group game designed to improve the teachers ability to define tasks, set rules and discipline students, reduce disruptive aggressive, off–task and shy behaviors in elementary aged...show more content... The rules of the game are simple and can be taught in about 20 minutes. Within five easy steps, students can be taught to play the Good Student Game. Step 1: Define student appropriate behaviors (such as listening, following directions, paying attention and trying their best). Step 2: Have students role–play examples and non–examples of good student behavior (such as "thumbs up" or "thumbs down"). Step 3: Have student's model examples of acceptable and non–acceptable behaviors (such as talking out of turn, getting out of their seat without permission, etc). While the students are modeling such behaviors, the teacher will monitor good student behaviors (those who were doing as they were asked). Step 4: Practice playing the Good Student Game. Divide the class into two teams. Write team names on the chalkboard. If any student breaks a rule while the game is going on, the teacher makes a mark by the name of the team in which the disruptive student is a member. When the end of time (teacher instruction) is complete, the team who has the fewest marks are the winners. Step 5: Reward the team with the fewest marks, for meeting the criteria required (Tankersley, 1995).

  • 19. Guiding Children's Behavior I have rated the fourteen steps to guiding children's behavior based on personal belief and experience. 1. Model Appropriate Behavior: Show, demonstrate, model and supervise. Children are watching you therefore you need to be the best role model you can be. As a positive role model you need to make good choices and encourage children to do their best too. It has been proven that children with positive role models have higher self–esteem, do better in school and social settings, and are more likely to make good choices in difficult/stressful situations. Positive role models can last a lifetime. 2. Meet Children's Needs: Children need to eat nutritional foods, drink plenty of water, and get enough sleep and exercise. Children need a...show more content... As an instructor, you should always be clear about exactly what you expect and what the consequences will be if rules and limits are broken. 9. Clarify your Beliefs about Guiding Behavior: It is important to be certain about what you want for children in the classroom and at home. Use a philosophy of education to guide your teaching and review it often, be sure you are always doing your best to do best for the children in your classroom. 10. Use Social Constructivist Approach: Teachers should always be guiding students to behave in a socially appropriate and productive way. Once again, you are a role model, be the best role model you can be, children are watching your decision making and behaviors. Make responsible choices so children can ape this behavior. 11. Help Children Build New Behaviors: Give children praise when necessary. I am a strong believer in the power of positive reinforcement, children react positively when you reward them for making good choices. It is important that children know you recognize they are choosing to make a good choice because it lets them know you are watching them and acknowleding their efforts to control their behavior. 12. Recognize & Value Basic Rights: We all have basic rights, children too! Respect their basic rights and it will be easier to guide and direct children's behavior. 13. Avoid Problems: Positive reinforcement is a great way to focus on good

Essay On Student Behavior Student Behavior in the United States Education System Approximately 20% of children exhibit symptoms consists with a diagnosable mental disorder; however, children often do not receive mental health services until their symptoms have become severe, and only 1% are identified with an emotional and/or behavior disorder in the school setting and receive special education for these disorders. Additionally, children who do not have a diagnosis, but exhibit challenges with social and behavioral skills, tend to have challenges in the academic setting, but often to do also receive effective supports. Researchers estimate that between one and 5% of children have a severe emotional and/or behavioral disorder (Costello, Mustillo, Erkanli, Keller, ...show more content... MTSS as Prevention. Schools are an ideal place to assist children with mental health issues. Using a preventive model, such as the MTSS model described above, to catch problems early may prevent children from developing more serious or longer–term problems. Research indicates that treating children who are at–risk for emotional and behavioral problems can decrease the likelihood that they will later be diagnosed with a mental health disorder while also lowering the healthcare costs. However, traditionally, behavior problems have not been addressed until a student receives one or more office discipline referrals, and there tends to be a two–year gap between the time that the child first receives an outside diagnosis and when they begin receiving services in the schools. Universal screeners provide schools information that may help prevent future office disciplinary referrals and prevent future behavior challenges. Therefore, providing a universal screener may identify children who would otherwise not receive services until the problem behavior becomes severe. Previous research demonstrates that children who were identified by the Behavioral and Emotional Screening System (BESS) as at–risk earned lower report grades than their peers, whether or not they were deemed at–risk according to traditional teacher referral Get more content on HelpWriting.net

In some cases these emotions are not adequetly dealt with well by the child. How do teachers, the government, and parents deal with children who have behavior problems ranging from moderate, to severe? The answer is to follow. This paper will discuss five different articles which define what a behavior problem is, classroom management strategies for students and teachers, and the education environments that are best for children with Emotional or Behavioral Disorders. (EBD) Topics also included, community support, teacher perceptions of what is being done, and parent's perspectives on the services provided for their youths...show more content... This article was very informative. I was aware of the negative attitudes some teachers can have towards students having encountered a few of these myself. What I was unaware of, however, was that the reciprocal effect of negative behavior. When a teacher demands, a child reacts negatively and as such the teacher responds with more assertion. This obviously is not a good thing when trying to deal with children who have EBD. I also feel that the classroom strategies offered by the authors could be extremely helpful in future situations that I may encounter. Giving students the chance to participate in determining the rules may result in the desired positive effect. The second article I read, "Educational Environments for the pupil with Behavioral Disorders: A "Best Evidence" synthesis." By Barry H. Schnieder and Janice Leroux, discussed the progress of children with behavior problems in different educational environments. The authors reviewed different placements for students and the headway made by each I their settings. Many different methods were used to examine the research and get a 'best evidence' report from the collective research. The research found that while it is possible to use intervention in a classroom or a special school, the costs and limitation of staff and time were too many. The authors developed a technique called meta–analysis Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 23. Behavioral Model Of Human Behavior Skinner was a behaviorist who wanted to provide a method for understanding human behavior, thoughts, and emotions. Skinner believed that classical conditioning was to simplistic to be a complete explanation of the complex human behavior. Skinner believed the best way to understand any behavior is to look directly at the causes of an action and its consequences. He defined this approach as operant conditioning. Operant conditioning is defined as " the idea that behavior is determined by its consequences, be they reinforcements or punishments, which make it more or less likely that the behavior will occur again" (B. F. Skinner, 2011). The behavioral model observes human behavior as a practical and useful response. This model acknowledges that every behavior has a purpose and has advanced from the earlier stages of a person's understanding. Skinner created a way to allow individuals the ability to avoid negative behaviors. His theory uses positive and negative reinforcements while covering affective punishments to make sure a student's bad behavior does not turn into a pattern. According to our textbook, "one defining characteristic of the behavioral model is that it views behavior from a functional perspective in terms that are both measurable and observable (Wheeler, 2014,p.17)." Skinner's positive reinforcement starts by promoting good behavior in the classroom through the promise of a reward. Skinner created a rewards system that is said to help shape human behavior in a Get more content on HelpWriting.net

Children's Behavior Essay Children's Behavior What may affect childrens behaviour Separation from the childs main carer can affect the childs behaviour a lot if they find it hard to separate from them. If a child cries it is obvious they find it hard to cope with this, trying to distract the child may help the child to forget about the problem and start to enjoy themselves. The childrens developmental stage includes how they see themselves and how they are with other children. If the child finds it hard to share with another child as they may be an only child and never had to come across sharing before hand, it will be hard for them to understand this. Some of factors for development are: *Egocentricity: children...show more content... This is all due to a change of routine. Children especially with autism find it very hard to cope with a change, so it is important to let the child know with or with out a disability children still find it hard to cope with changes. It is also going to affect the childs self–esteem if they're very upset and not wanting to communicate with anyone new, they will become very emotional through out the day. From this they become bored and this is when you mainly recognise a change to the childs behaviour, they might start to misbehave to get attention from staff, they may hurt children or may even harm themselves. And also if the child faces the loss and grief of a family member the childs behaviour may change again, as they may see it as their fault, or may wish they had done more when the person was alive. So it is a very hard time for children when they have to cope with a change. What is behaviour ================= The younger the child is, the less they understand about behaviour, so when they reach the age of about 4 it is important for their main role leader to start telling them about why we do the things we do. If a child misbehaves and the CW tells them to stop doing it, and if he/she catches them again they will have a timeout. So if the child does this again it is important for the CW
