Rider And The Rider Book Review: Key Insights on Motivating Change

Rider And The Rider Book Review
Dan Heath and Chip Heath in this book are addressing what should be done to make the needed
switch to accept the desired or needed change. The authors used a nice metaphor illustrating the
brain as the Rider and the emotions as the Elephant, while the Rider and the Elephant are in
consistent conflict to pick or accept the right direction for the change journey to make it to the final
destination. The battel between the two is mainly whether we can make the journey or it's not worth
the efforts and stay where you are just live with the status quo because your team, the community is
unable to try the new journey. The authors are providing some guidance to mitigate this vital
conflict, to balance and compromise the needs and the fears of the Riders ... Show more content on

"In highly successful change efforts, people find ways to help others see the problems or solutions in
ways that influence emotions, not just thought" (105). "Most people think change happens in this
order: ANALYZE–THINK–CHANGE" (106), which is normal when "parameters are known,
assumptions are minimal, and the future is not fuzzy" (106). But during the change situation with
the uncertain environment where "the parameters is not well known and the future is fuzzy", in this
case, the change pattern is not "ANALYZETHINK–CHANGE, but rather SEE–FEEL–CHANG"
(106). A second good way to motivate the Elephant is to "Shrink the Change". It means breaking the
ultimate goal into small achievable objectives and building momentum to keep the Elephant going
towards the final destination. "To get the Elephant off its duff, you need to reassure it that the task
won't be so bad." (131), so motivate actions that could generate small achievements and it will spiral
hope that change was possible. Furthermore, you need to "Grow your People" to accept a new
identity during change as no nobody was born with his professional identity as doctor, engineer,
scientist. It's the identity you seek and others cultivate in you such as your teachers, supervisors, and
leaders around you. To achieve change, you need to promote the growth–mindset. People with such
mindset "believe that abilities are like muscles–they can be built up with practice. That is, with
concerted effort, you can make yourself better" and "you tend to accept more challenges despite the
risk of failure" (164), by that the Elephant is not reluctant of the journey of change anymore.
In the third part of the book–Shape the Path, the authors are addressing what seen as people problem
is often a situational or environment problem. So what can you do to help the people surrounding
you to accept the required change and make it a little bit easier to embrace

Explain the Social Learning Theory
Explain the Social Learning Theory, making reference to two relevant studies.
By Tanisha Sabhaney
Behaviouristic theories of learning are essentially theories of conditioning and emphasize the role of
reinforcement in learning. One of the mot predominant theories is Albert Bandura's social learning
theory, which assumes that. People learn through observing others' behavior, attitudes, and outcomes
of those behaviors which is called observational learning, that is an indirect form of learning known
as vicarious learning and indirect forms of reinforcement which is called vicarious reinforcement
.Bandura renamed SLT as social cognitive theory to accommodate the ever increasing importance in
his thinking of cognitive factors .SLT has also ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
An example of verbal aggression was, "Pow!" and "Sock him in the nose". After ten minutes the
experimenter entered and took the child to a new room which the child was told was another games
room. In stage two (Aggression Arousal) the child was subjected to 'mild aggression arousal'. The
child was taken to a room with relatively attractive toys. As soon as the child started to play with the
toys the experimenter told the child that these were the experimenter's very best toys and she had
decided to reserve them for the other children. In Stage three the next room contained some
aggressive toys and some non–aggressive toys. The non–aggressive toys included a tea set, crayons,
three bears and plastic farm animals. The aggressive toys included a mallet and peg board, dart guns,
and a 3 foot Bobo doll. The child was in the room for 20 minutes and their behavior was observed
and rated though a one–way mirror. Observations were made at 5–second intervals therefore giving
240 response units for each child. Other behaviors that didn't imitate that of the model were also
recorded e.g. punching the Bobo doll on the nose. Bandura thus observed children who observed the
aggressive models made far more imitative aggressive responses than those who were in the non–
aggressive or control groups. There was more partial and non–imitative aggression among those
children who has observed aggressive behavior, although the difference for non–imitative
aggression was small. The girls

Animal Behavior : Animals And Animals
People have always been considered the epitome of sociality, among other behaviors, that separate
them from animals. However, with recent research, these set of characteristics have now been
widened to include animals as well. Animals are no longer considered totally mindless beings that
act the way they do because they have been made that way and will continue to live within those
defined behaviors. For instance, dogs were considered mindless as they seemed to have no will
except to follow what their owners instructed them to do. However, by watching dogs, this turns out
to not be the case. One thing to take into consideration is that when using words to describe certain
behaviors of animals that are associated with humans, it is important to not anthromorphise but to
treat the behaviors as specific and distinct to that animal. Moreover, the behaviors that we label are
relative between species and even within species, so it is better to describe things in broad terms
rather than have specific categories for it will help broaden our understanding of animal behavior.
As for dogs, they have easy sociability because of the different ways they interact with other dogs
and with human companions through the three clusters of cooperation, empathy, and justice.
Cooperation "is behavior in which both parties benefit at the time of the interaction" (Bekoff and
Pierce 61). While it may seem a simple term and concept of working together, and might be a
deliberate or instinctive

The Influence Of Herd Behavior
In everyday life we look at what others are doing and make decisions based on what we see. This
mentality can at times be useful, but it can also cause issues with not only an individual, but also the
group or business. In my group of friends at times we have this herd mentality and will want to buy
the same things or do the same things because others are doing it. This mentality takes away from
people being an individual and making their own decisions instead of worrying about what everyone
else is doing. Why herd behavior increased as a groups size increases is what will be discussed in
the next section. Herd behavior can happen no matter what size the group is, but it does happen
more as groups grow larger. This I feel is due to peer pressure, the more people telling someone that
they should do something in a particular way the more likely they are to do it so that they fit in with
the group. The examples in the case study of the housing market and the initial public offering (IPO)
with Facebook, show that the larger the group the more influence there is. The influence of more
people leads to group thinking instead of individual thinking. This causes ... Show more content on

An example of an upside to herd behavior is a group of people coming together to help people in
need. An example would be a church group planning a clothing drive to support the homeless
population. They all make the same flyers or posters and work together on ideas that are agreed on
by the overall group to help those in need. This group could start as a small group and grow the
more people that want to help because others are doing it. This example happened at a church I
attended, the drive started with only a few people, but as people realized the impact it was having in
the community the group became larger. Next I will discuss Shiller's argument about how herd
behavior can have both upsides and

She then realized that she was more interested in how and why animals act the way they do and just
started concentrating on the Animal Behavior part through Psychology (Dr. K. Leighty,
informational interview, September 2, 2014). Dr. Leighty also told me that when she was doing an
internship working with Chimps, learning how to collect behavioral data, to have a comparative
model she also worked with human children collecting the same types of data (Dr. K. Leighty,
informational interview, September 2, 2014). Dr. Leightys interview gave me so much more to go
on in my pursuit of becoming an Animal Behaviorist. She enlightened me on the courses I should be
thinking about taking in college. She also told me I was on the right path with taking Psychology
and continuing with the different Psychology courses in relation to Animal Behavior. I have always
thought Psychology was needed in the study of animals. I just didnt realize just how much until this
paper and interview. Psychology is the study of the mind..be it in humans or animals. Throughout
my research I found many ways Animal Behaviorists and Psychologists use the same research
methods and observational studies. One of the ways the two study/and or research is through
Naturalistic Observation. As Charles Darwin used Naturalistic Observation on his journey aboard

The Term ' Autism '
The term 'autism' can be dated back to 1911, where it was first used to describe schizophrenia by
Paul Bleuler (Khalid et al, 2014). However, more recent research has characterised autism as a
lifelong, neurodevelopmental condition, with symptoms appearing as early as the age of three, and
although the condition affects four times more females than males, evidence points to the disability
affecting males more acutely (Germain et al, 2015). As a developmental disability, autism affects a
number of things within an individual, to include, communication abilities, how to effectively relate
to others, as well as affecting how to make sense of the world around them, all of which are
attainments that would come naturally to neurotypical humans (Germain et al, 2015). Autism,
therefore, has been described as being "characterized by impairments in social interaction,
communication, and repetitive patterns of behaviour" (Brown and Elder, 2014, p. 219). In the UK,
approximately 700,000 people are living with the disability and around 2.8 million people are
affected by autism in their lives (The National Autistic Society, 2016). Because autism is a spectrum
condition, those who are compounded by it will share certain traits; however, autism will affect
them and their abilities in different ways, with individual differences in the patterns of development
(Whitman, 2004). Although autism can affect many areas of a person's life, my research is aimed at
looking at one of the core

The, 12 Angry Men, And Nasa 's Challenger Disaster
"Speak your mind even if your voice shakes", a quote made famous by Maggie Kuhn, is the
foundation of how I conduct my life. While the fundamentals of being an open–minded, educated,
and well–rounded individual involve considering the opinions of others and evaluating both sides of
the argument, too often people become complacent and lose the ability to think for themselves. The
common term that refers to this type of herd mentality is "sheeple". The play, 12 Angry Men, and
NASA's Challenger disaster are two prime examples of the downfalls of groupthink. Below, I will
discuss both the helpful and harmful aspects of groupthink surrounding both 12 Angry Men, and the
Challenger disaster, as well as the effects of groupthink on today's voting young adults.
In the play, 12 Angry Men, the vote was 11–1 in favor of a guilty verdict in the case being tried. The
one juror stood his ground, explained his theory as to why a guilty verdict could not be delivered,
and was unwavering in his stance. The jurors went around the table twice, and ended with everyone
siding with the original juror. As the deliberations played out and jurors were questioned, some
jurors were not able to justify their guilty verdict, merely stating "It just is". This statement shows
the effect of the groupthink mentality, especially since one juror was considerably vocal and angered
by the time being spent on deliberations. The logical discussions the other jurors had with one
another displayed a positive aspect

Autism Spectrum Disorder ( Asd )
Topic: Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)
Purpose: My audience will learn the importance of recognizing early signs of Autism Spectrum
Disorder in children.
Thesis: It is important to understand the early signs of Autism Spectrum Disorder, and why early
intervention is the best treatment.
Introduction: Gain/maintain attention There is a television show I like to watch called "The Big
Bang Theory, maybe some of you have seen it. This show focuses on the relationships between a
group of friends, some who live and work together. One of the show's main characters is named
Sheldon. Sheldon has many behaviors that his friends and others view as odd. Sheldon is a highly
intelligent scientist, but he often exhibits what some people might consider different or childlike
behavior. Sheldon has a certain seat he must sit in and certain foods he eats depending on the day of
the week, when he knocks on someone's door he must knock three times while saying the person's
name. Sheldon avoids physical contact from others and often does not understand sarcasm.
Relate topic presenter Some of these behaviors remind me of my son, Jacob. Jacob was diagnosed
eight years ago with Autism Spectrum Disorder at age six.

Countless studies and findings have found that throughout many cities and states, there is some
increase since 2000 on the dollars spent on special education classrooms throughout the country.
This financial strain has kept many schools struggling to keep the classroom supplied with proper
teachers, paraprofessionals and support for the multiple metal disabilities throughout the classrooms.
With the increase of diagnoses of Autism, Development Cognitive Disabilities, and Emotional and
Behavioral Disorders, many have been on the search for new therapies to help students in the
classroom and at home. One that is growing is Animal–Assisted therapy and activity. This can
include Therapeutic horseback riding, swimming with dolphins, and Canine–Assisted Therapy.
Most prominent among the animal–assisted therapies is with Canines. This has become a simple
method for families because a canine can travel with a child, whether it is to school, home, or any
other public place. As a multiple dog owner, I have experienced first–hand the role a dog can play in
one's life. During my sophomore year of high school, we had to do a project for some school credit;
the project was very open in terms of choosing what to do. My friend and I decided to bring our
dogs into our middle school and just simply interact and have fun with the special education classes.
The project was mostly written up as our "good Samaritan" act of the day, although I knew there
was more behind what we were doing.

The Instinctual Behaviors Of Horses
Instinctual behaviors that horses acquire are their social structure, reproduction, mothering, feeding
and communication. For their social structure they have a complex structure. Horses are not
territorial animals, they usually graze close to other herds and there is little to no aggression showed.
Having the dominant leader of the groups is defined by the horse who has preferential access to
resources through aggressive threats or actions. As for reproduction the mare, or female horse will
urinate showing her vulva that then attracts the stallion, or male horse. If they become satisfied with
each other copulation will occur many times over a period of time. The mare carries the foal for 9
months. As the skin to skin contact like humans to ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Horses are very intelligent animals they are fast learners with correct and consistent training. They
are able to figure out their own problems and work them out. Horses make associations with things
that happen. So if something bad occurs during a specific event that is what the horse is going to
remember. But if a reward is given the horse will think whatever bad thing happened in that event is
usual and the treat will take their mind off of it. When a horse has learned habituation the response
to a stimulus has decreased. This happens when the horse is confronting the same stimulus multiple
times and soon has gotten used to it and the response to it being there has decreased. When the horse
has learned association this is called conditioning. The horse realizes "that this meant that". The
horse makes associations and connections with commands and cues. The first licks from a mare to a
foal horse are what is called imprinting. The licking from the mare stimulates a bond between the
two horses. But there is also an imprinting done by humans. Humans can give a good or bad imprint
on the foal which can later affect them growing up. If they are given a good imprint they are more
likely to do the things that humans need them to do later in life. For example the horse will accept
being saddled, rode with little to no resistance, and having muzzle clipped and ears handled. But a

Pushing The Herd Off The Cliff Edge
Introduction
The idea of institutional herding has a striking implication for security price volatility. Estimations
from the essay 'Sending the Herd Off the Cliff Edge'suggests that the predominance of herding
behavior may explain why the financial system in 1990s had been in crisis for 40 out of the 120
months or 33% of the time (Persaud, 2000). These concerns, along with the increasing stock market
ownership of institution investor in comparison to individual investors, is often used as a basis for
advocating for an increase in monitoring institutional trading in equity markets in hopes that it that
would lead to a reduction in the dominance of institutional investors in the financial market.
However such claims are not fully supported by empirical research in the literature. Two schools of
thoughts emerge the first being that herding enhances pricing efficiency, and second ascertains that
herding initiates short–term trend reversals.
The emergence of two seemingly polar opposite beliefs is not as a result of lack of scholarly
competence but rather due to the nature of complexity within the subject leading to conflicts in
assumptions and methodology. Conflicts in assumptions and methodology often arise due to rational
definitional irregularities on institutional herding. An example of such a definitional irregularity
occurs when as Avery defined herd behavior as"a trade by an informed agent which follows the
trend in past trades even though that trend is counter to his

Mob Mentality In Lynchings Of Duluth By Michael Bond
Mob Mentality
Anyone can be a part of something that they would normally not do. It could be harmful towards
others or it could be something that did not affect anyone. When people are in groups, they are more
likely to riot than if they are by themselves, possibly causing them to make bad or racist decisions if
everyone around them are.
Crowds can make people feel like they are doing something right just because they are not alone.
"Isolated individuals seldom heckle or riot. But throngs of sports fans torch cars, protesters storm
government offices, and gangs go to war over intangible slights" (Cikara, Mob Mentality). People
are less likely to protest or riot unless there is a whole group of others doing it too, so that individual

"As rumors flew through West Duluth, tension mounted throughout the day until a mob––estimated
at 5,000 to 10,000–– marched down Superior Street to the police station" (Duluth's shameful past,
Pg. 1). Mobs are not small amounts of people. Many people join just to fit in. Not all of the
thousands of people could possibly think that what they are doing is right. There had to have been a
few that disagreed, yet still went along with the rest of the mob. A lot of people also joined because
of racism; the lynchings were mostly of people with a different skin color. If someone stuck up to
the mobs, they would either be judged or punished. In To Kill A Mockingbird, "Judge Taylor was
polling the jury: 'Guilty... guilty... guilty... guilty...' I peeked at Jem: his hands were white from
gripping the balcony rail, and his shoulders jerked as if each 'guilty' was a separate stab between
them" (Lee 282). The reason the jury picked guilty was only because Tom Robinson was black.
They did not give him a chance. Some might have picked guilty only because everyone else was so

August Pullman Analysis
" Don't try too hard to be cool.It always shows,and that's uncool." – Amos Conti
The novel Wonder teaches readers things that us humans can't imagine. Like this little boy named
August Pullman in the story he is a 5th grader starting a public school. The thing is August is not an
average human being. In fact he's a very special soul. August was born with mandibulofacial but he
is always scared to see people for the reason that they will judge him.When he starts school people
bully him because of how he looks and that makes him feel worse of himself. That reason is not
right to judge. Although people change their minds about August, kids at Beecher Prep bully August
because of his appearance, herd behavior, and fear.
To start off, August's appearance is not like an average looking person in fact he's better. Why? You
may ask, well because he is unique not the fact that he was born with facial disorder. But the fact
that he is that way makes him one–hundred percent much better than anyone else. According to A

Examples Of Herd Behavior
Herd behavior describes how individuals in a group can act collectively without centralized
directions. Herd behavior can not only be in human beings but also in animal herds, packs, fish
schools, and bird flocks. Herd behavior can also be in decision. For example, if a person is walking
down a street, hungry, and desperately wanting food, and sees two restaurants down the road,
suppose Pizza Hut and Papa Johns; Pizza Hut is full with people, whereas Papa John's barely even
has two customers. The man would more likely got to Pizza Hut because of the number of people he
sees. Likewise, a commercial done by Taylor Swift would more likely be successful and popular

Charlie, the main character, wanted to be smart to have a normal life and have more friends. But
little did he know that being smart would not really help him gain more friends. People in the story
believed that charlie was dumb and stupid because of his lower IQ, people in his work place were
actually working together to criticize him for who he is. We can see an example of herd behavior
here. The factory employees heard each other say "don't pull a Charlie Gordon" and followed what
each other said. In my personal life, I was this little girl who could stand up and totally pretend that
everything would be fine, a very confident and a different girl. I could express my own feelings and
just blossom around like a tree going through the spring season. I didn't really cared what other
people thought about me but as time passed and as I grew up, I started covering myself up and didn't
really liked expressing myself anymore, I wasn't that little confident girl anymore, despite, I am now
known as the quiet girl, who doesn't really talk a lot. This happened to me because I started caring a
lot about what people thought of me and knew that they would criticize me if I followed this
attitude; so I just thought of

Communication Between Rhesus Infants And Their Non...
Using the phrase "instinct" very liberally creates many issues when discussing the behaviors of non–
human primates, and in this case mothering rhesus macaques. To determine the source of the
disturbed agonistic behavior of the mother rhesus toward her offspring, one must first look at the
environmental conditions in which the mother rhesus was reared as an infant. The correlation
between environmental conditions and behavioral tendencies of the mother rhesus can be observed
in the behavioral differences of the mother rhesus and related members of the group, owing to
differencing environmental conditions. In addition, one must consider exactly how certain behaviors
are used as a means of communication and socialization between individuals, as various gestures,
vocalizations, and facial expressions are a common means of communication between members of a
social group. Observing the various signal–response communication between rhesus infants and
their non–agonistic mothers, and comparing that communication to that of infants and the rhesus
agonistic mothers, could give possible insight in the cues that infants give to their mothers for
interactions, such as feeding. Collected social observations from these agonistic mothers may
suggest that "maternal instincts" are not genetically determined, but instead greatly influenced by
the social structure and environment that the mother, as an infant, was reared in. One of the
variables that should be considered to have a heavy

Analysis Of Nudge : Improving Decisions About Health,...
Occasionally everyone could benefit from a slight push in a positive direction. These slight pushes
can be noted as nudges and can incorporate a negative or positive impact in an individual's life,
depending on how they are utilized. In the book, Nudge: Improving Decisions About Health,
Wealth, and Happiness, by Thaler and Sunstein, nudges are explored in ways of how they can
essentially help humans make better decisions that benefit them throughout their life (2009).
However, even though nudges can push people in a positive direction, they also have the ability to
push an individual in a negative direction depending on the way in which it is used. One issue that
can be approached through different construction of nudges is the effect of ... Show more content on

Therefore, it suggests that those who are around peers that are deviant are also going to be deviant
or in other words birds of a feather flock together. This is an issue because it makes those who
would not normally engage in deviant behavior, begin to engage in deviant behavior. By
understanding this theory, it makes approaching this issue regarding group decision making and
social nudges easier to understand because they incorporate similar understandings to why an
individual would engage in deviant behavior if their friends are doing the same.
In consideration of explaining social learning theory in how it correlates and gives value to the
influx of the influence of deviant peers on an individual's own deviance, I propose a program to
nudge individual's away from deviant peers to reduce their own deviant activity. This program
would be aimed at young adults, due to the pressure they receive from peers in relation to other
populations. In theory, those participating in this program would be referred to the program from
cops (once in trouble), school advisors, other programs involved in youth offenders and deviance,
family members, or others. They can also join in if they feel they are being exposed and influenced
by deviant peers. Furthermore, it would focus on involving these "deviant" individuals with

The Five Characteristics Of An Alpacas : Instinctive...
Alpacas
Alpacas instinctive behaviors consist of five things, the first one is their social structure. Alpacas
will sometimes spit at each other for when they need personal space. This is something that is done
naturally so if you get near an alpaca that is not comfortable with people you could potentially get
spit on. So when working with alpacas be careful and pay attention to not get to close to an alpaca
that isn't comfortable with you around. The next behavior is reproduction, when alpacas mate they
often only have on cria, a baby alpaca, in a gestation period of about 11 months. The cria usually
weigh about 14–20 pounds. The female alpacas are able to start breeding at 10–18 months of age.
While a male can start breeding at 2½ – 3 years of age. Another behavior his mothering. As a cria
gets older the mother will reject to feed it. When a cria gets too old for the mother's milk to be
enough nourishment and it needs to start eating actual food, this called weaning. You need to be able
to notice when it's time to separate the cria from the mother. Another instinctive behavior is feeding,
they will eat from a pasture, but the safest and best way to feed an alpaca is through a hay bail, or
their food is in a trough so the alpacas will not eat bolts or wire that could have fallen from the
fence. The last behavior is communication, alpacas communicate with body language, pay attention
to the position of, their ears, tail, head, and neck. If they rotate their ears forward

Definition Of Just Culture Leadership
Just Culture Leadership
A Just Culture is a proactive, learning culture that sees events as opportunities instead of misfortunes
and in healthcare is directed towards patient safety and improving patient outcomes. Allowing
employees to report errors without being reprimanded promotes trust. Human errors are costly and
can lead to death when providing care to patients. Creating an environment that fosters learning in
preventing errors boost employees morale. A learning environment allows individual to reflect on
the situation and their behavior that caused harm or potential harm to the patient. A Just Culture
encompasses behavior, duties, and skills in managing employee's behavioral choices (Outcome

Encompassing every department within the hospital is vital to establishing the culture. Leaders need
to portray the "just" culture they are trying to instill by their actions, words, and behavior (Emory
University, Nell Hodgson Woodruff School of Nursing, 2013). Leading by example management
creates a mold to change the culture to one that focuses on providing a safe healthcare environment
(Marquis & Huston, 2015). The change to the culture is dependent on the actions and examples set
by the leaders and the treatment of employees. Without leaders setting the framework to guide the
organization, a "just" culture is unattainable. Leaders are crucial to establishing the pathway of a
"just" culture.
A "just" culture is necessary in healthcare to promote an environment where mistakes are brought
out in the open and analyzed for ways to prevent errors from repeating. Therefore, there is a need for
a consensus across the healthcare industry. To transform healthcare from the blame culture to a
"just" culture will require change that extends beyond hospitals to the industry (Ross, 2015). The
change has to be unified across all aspects of healthcare.
Defining Culture
According to Watkins (2013), organizational culture is not well defined. However, Watkins (2013)
lists characteristics of organizational culture as: observable consistent behavior patterns, an
alignment of purpose

transgenerational model is governed by two main goals: management of anxiety and relief from
symptoms, and an increase in each participant's level of differentiation (Kerr & Bowen as cited in
Goldenberg & Goldenberg, 2013, p. 227). The treatment for a person with SPD, using Bowenian
approach, consists of decreasing anxiety and increasing levels of differentiation in the individual and
the family system. In order to achieve both treatment goals, Bowen preferred to be a coach.
According to Goldenberg and Goldenberg (2013), Bowen presented himself as a researcher helping
individuals becoming objective researchers of their own ways of ... Show more content on

Because Bowen believed in the relevance of multigenerational healing, he created the Genogram (p.
225). A Genogram is a therapeutic tool that can be used to graphically identify the family system of
an individual and the various generational influences that the individual has.
Cognitive–Behavioral Therapy (CBT) The CBT model is based on the theory that an event occurs
(the situation), then people assign it a meaning (the interpretation), leading to an emotional,
behavioral or physiological change (the reaction) (Ledley, Marx & Heimberg, 2010, p. 12). CBT
approach believes that people assign meaning to their events, and then the assigned meaning
impacts people's behavior. In this section, it will be analyzed the etiology and treatment of SPD
based on the CBT approach. Etiology CBT sees psychopathology as a cause of a triggering event
and a maladaptive meaning assignation of the event (Ledley, Marx and Heimberg, 2010, p. 12).
When an event occurs and people assign maladaptive meanings to the event, it can lead to the
development of a psychological disorder. CBT believes that the way people perceive the world in
large affects the way they behave, feel and understand life situations (Schaefer, 2011, p. 313). The
perceptions or thoughts that people have about others and their environments influence them
behaviorally, emotionally, and psychologically.

Corporal Punishment and the Effects of Its Usage
Corporal Punishment and the effects of its usage Corporal punishment is the ability to make
physical contact as a form of punishment for reprimanding ones behavior. Corporal punishment
versus positive reinforcement while they both serve their purpose corporal punishment is known to
be more effective. The most common form of disciplining has always been either a spanking,
corporal punishment has been dated all the way back to biblical times. Now the corporal punishment
that occurred during biblical and slavery times might not be for the greater good, however the
individuals who owned slaves thought it to help one complete their job quicker and better. If one
slave didn't do something properly or escaped corporal punishment was enforced which resulted in
receiving a beating from a long strap; this is form of corporal punishment is actual abuse, yet it
deterred other slaves from committing the same actions as others. As a result corporal punishment
has been around for years and serves its purpose for every aspect in life. Throughout my book I'll be
explaining the effectiveness of corporal punishment versus positive reinforcement. The effectiveness
of corporal punishment is something that is much more than whooping a child for wrongful doing,
but it's a deterrence mechanism within households and even schools. As a result of corporal
punishment it can have a positive and negative effect it is something that works different on all
individuals, positive reinforcement also

Group Names Essay
Different animals have different grouping names and to most people it seems like just a random
selection of how the group name was formed. When ravens group together it is called an
unkindness, when lion get together it is called a pride and when tigers get together it is called an
ambush. Lions and Tigers seem very similar but have different group names. One is "pride" which
means "high or inordinate opinion of one's own dignity, importance, merit, or superiority" and
ambush means "an act or instance of lying concealed so as to attack by surprise." Despite these two
groups of animals being very similar, they have different animal grouping names with very different
meanings/connotations. There are many different animal grouping names and this paper will
examine the origin of animal grouping names, details of different groupings and an analysis on these
grouping names. Many people speculate that the ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Going back to my original example the lion, a group of lions is called a pride. A pride of lions is
comprised of five or more lions. The female lions in the pride do most of the hunting for the group
and have developed and use their hunting tactics to catch prey. The term pride means "high or
inordinate opinion of one's own dignity, importance, merit, or superiority." Therefore, it is likely that
these animals were perceived as prideful in the way that they hunt. An animal that have hooves and
exists/travel collectively are grouped together as "herds." These are the animals that eat, live and
travel together. A herd is a defined as a "social grouping of certain animals of the same species,
either wild or domestic. The form of collective animal behavior associated with this is referred."
Interestingly enough there are other animals such as fish that travel, eat, and live together but are

Climate Change Is A Social And Political Problem
Any psychological intervention aimed at individual behaviour change is doomed to failure, because
the environmental crisis is a social and political problem. Discuss. Whilst entering the new
millennium society and the earth as whole faces its biggest challenge to date, climate change. With
this new challenge come new approaches, strategies to live sustainably, some will fail and some will
work, but eventually we will defeat it. But if this is the case, why do we continue to tackle climate
change using approaches which have proven to lead to dead ends, and not made effective changes,
and which are restricting us and not allowing us to make the differences we have the potential to
make. I wholeheartedly agree with the statement at the top. Climate change is a systemic problem
which requires collective action(i.e from corporations and governments). Up to now, the most
acknowledged models have placed the burden of responsibility on the individual, you. However in
this essay I will be arguing that a shift in focus away from the individual, and on to the political
infrastructures that our way of life is founded upon on is crucial if we are to achieve the rate of
change required to save the earth from climate change. In the first section of this essay I will delve
further into the "blindspots" and dead ends in which attempting to intervene against individual
behaviour has brought us into. I will then develop this argument further by explaining the benefits of
approaching this

Analysis Of We Real Cool
"We Real Cool," by Gwendolyn Brooks is a lyrical poem that tells a story of teenage rebellion.
Although the poem is relatively short, it packs an extremely powerful message about youth.
Gwendolyn Brooks centered her works predominately around the African American consciousness.
During the time in which the poem was written, many teens, especially young African–American
men felt misunderstood and like the world was set up for them to fail. At first glance, it appears this
poem is a mere description of misunderstood young adults who are enjoying their youth. However,
with further analysis, it is made clear that this poem talks about much more than that. While it is
obvious that this poem is about rebellious youths, it is also about self–identity and the dangers of
herd mentality. Herd mentality describes how people follow and adapt the behaviors of certain
groups. Herd mentality is in no way new; moreover, most people are subject to its effects. However,
herd mentality becomes dangerous when a group has enough influence to dictate an individual's way
of thinking. When an individual is desperate to find a place to belong, they will most likely follow
the crowd even if they know that they are participating in something immoral; this can be seen in
"We Real Cool."
In the opening lines of the poem, the reader is introduced to the subjects "The Pool Players. Seven at
the Golden Shovel"(line 1&2), they are the 'we' in the poem. It becomes apparent to the reader that
the speaker is one of the seven pool players mentioned.
The speakers' tone in the poem is very prideful and defiant, but at the same time, it is filled with
uncertainty. This poem is a formal verse ballad which uses simple sentences that have a steady meter
that gives the poem a jazz like quality to the poem which further emphasizes the speaker's
nonchalant attitude and their disdain for the establishment.
The speaker contempt for the system is shown in the line "We real cool. We Left school." (line3&4)
The speaker feels misunderstood by society and yearns to find a place for themselves in the world.
The danger in this is that the speaker of a poem gives up on conventional means of education in
search for a place where they can belong, which

Culture And Its Effects On Our Culture
Abstract
It's a given that culture powerfully influences thoughts, emotions and behaviors.In fact, culture
operates at primary cognitive, perceptual and motivational levels. Culture is an important part of our
blueprint for operation within our physical and social worlds. We are an insecure species and culture
offers us a reduction of anxiety through its standard rules of thought, emotion and behavior. Culture
offers predictability in an often unpredictable world. We see things through a cultural lens that tints,
magnifies, shrinks and otherwise shapes our perceptions.Our culture is a mindset that we developed
during childhood socialization. The structural integrity, coherency and stability of our personalities
are rooted in our culture. ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Culture is designed to allow people a piece of sanity and balance within their lifestyle. When it
comes to culture many people have rules and customs that they have been around all their lives.
Which means that the effects of human behavior may vary from person to person. Due to the fact
that there are different cultures and diversity in communities, we are able to learn different
languages, interact with other people and learn different things about people who are different.
Verbal communications is one of the most important skills that are needed when it comes to verbally
expressing themselves. When we talking about culture, verbal communication is very important
because it allows people to socialize with one another. Sometimes culture can have barriers when it
comes to communicating with other people. For example, some people culture consist of them
hugging or kissing one another when they greet someone. In another culture they might find that
offensive. It can mean one thing to us and in another culture it might mean something totally
different. Cultures could take things as an insult therefore causing issues between the two. But not
only are greetings different, any type of verbal interaction could be as well. For instance, one culture
may find it abnormal to approach a person at a party spontaneously whereas another culture may
find it in their morals to approach whoever they meet eyes with and ask them to join the festivities.
You can see where this would

Herd Behavior
"Human herd behavior can be observed at large–scale demonstrations, riots, strikes, religious
gatherings, sports events, and outbreaks of mob violence. When herd behavior sets in, an individual
person's judgment and opinion–forming process shuts down as he or she automatically follows the
group's movement and behavior." There are many examples of herd behavior in society. Especially
when a person is with a group. Many people just follow whatever their group is doing blindly, which
doesn't have be negative but it can be. After reading three articles on herd behavior including, Why
Do People Follow the Crowd (1) Herd Behavior (2), and The Science Behind Why People Follow
the Crowd (3), one can see that people follow the crowd mainly because they ... Show more content

If they pass a restaurant that is empty and one that is relatively crowded with patrons, they are far
more likely to choose the crowded one." Herd behavior does not always have to be negative, people
use it in everyday life. In this example a family used herd behavior because it makes sense to go to a
restaurant that is more crowded rather than an empty one. It is somewhat common sense, the full
one is most likely a better choice than the empty. People follow the crowd because it is just easier
that way.At the same time this also applies to social conformity because they are dining at the
restaurant that everyone is at. In addition the article also states, "Some historians believe that Adolf
Hitler purposefully took advantage of herd behavior psychology by planting a significant number of
undercover German officers in the crowds at his speeches. These officers would enthusiastically
cheer for Hitler, and the rest of the crowd followed suit, making it seem as if the entire crowd
supported Hitler." Another reason would be because they are in fear or scared of being judged for
doing or thinking something different.. The example discussed would be the Holocaust. Hitler used
the herd method to get people to do what he wanted. He set up people to cheer in his crowds, so
others would follow or he made people fear him so they would do what he asked. Just because other
people do it, it does not mean it is right, but people follow anyway due to social conformity.
Psychologically Hitler took advantage of the fact that most people follow the crowd without even
thinking about what the consequences are or if what they are doing is right, it is all natural instincts

Crick and Dodge's Theory of Behavior of Children in Social...
Crick and Dodge's (1994) social information processing model suggests that the ways in which a
child behaves in social and relational interactions is based on how a child processes information.
According to Crick and Dodge's model, children are constantly drawing on their biologically
determined capabilities, their database (the central location of our memories and schemas) and
social cues. Crick and Dodge provide a detailed outline how a child's mental processing during a
social interaction in five steps: 1) Encoding internal/external cues from the environment. Doing so
allows one to focus on certain cues that may be vital to the person or the situation at hand. 2) The
interpretation of social cues. During the interpretation process, a child will go through one or more
individual processes where they will try to make sense of the information (understand others
behavior, evaluating their own behavior). All information received during this process is primarily
influenced by what already exists in their database.
3) Establishing a goal. During this step, a child sets pre–defined goals about the social relationship.
These goals are redefined throughout the interaction. 4) Response to a situation. During this,
children will examine the possible set of behaviors and the responses. 5) Response decision. A child
makes a decision about which behavior to actually engage in. 6) Behavioral enactment is when the
child acts upon the behavior. This process is then transferred back into

Study of Collective Behavior by Sociologists
Collective behavior can be observed in many forms. In the view of sociologist Neil Smelser,
"collective behavior is the relatively spontaneous and unstructured behavior of a group of people
who are reacting to a common influence in an ambiguous situation". (Stolley, 2005) Other
sociologists define collective behavior as spontaneous activities that involve large numbers of
people violating established norms. This fluidity makes it more difficult for sociologists to
generalize about people's behavior in such situations. (Stolley, 2005) This paper will explore
crowds, fashions, fads, rumors, mass hysteria, panics, crazes and public opinions.
Crowds
A crowd is a temporary collection of people in physical proximity who interact and have a common
focus (Stolley, 2005). People in the same place only become a crowd, by definition, when they find
that focus. Researchers have identified various types of crowds; casual, conventional and
expressive.
A casual crowd is a gathering of people who just happen to be at the same place at the same time.
An example of a casual crowd could be when people gather around a car accident. These types of
crowds may be organized around crowd crystals, which are people who draw attention to themselves
in some manner.
Conventional crowds are deliberate gatherings bound by norms of behavior (Stolley, 2005).
Attendees at a birthday party, a high school or college graduation, holiday parties and weddings are
examples of conventional crowds.
Some crowds

started to form her own training facility and camp. Through these experiences, she gained
experience in many different disciplines such as: cutting, jumping, racing, colt–starting, dressage,
reining, and wilderness riding (juliegoodnight.com). Goodnight has commented many times that she
believes this is what gives her an advantage in the training industry (YouTube). While working with
many different horses, Goodnight spend a lot of time studying these horses' behavior. Julie

Example Of Collective Behavior
Collective behavior is a huge term for sociologists, with a broad spectrum of meanings. Collective
behavior can be defines as "actions of groups of people who bypass the usual norms governing their
behavior and do something unusual" (Henslin 624). Collective behavior is basically people joining
together to do things; groups of people behaving collectively.
There are many examples of collective behavior. Examples of collective behavior can be seen every
day, all across the world. A few forms of collective behavior are riots, rumors, panics, fads, and
urban legends.
Riots are often fueled by senses of injustice, frustration, and anger (Henslin 628). Riots are often
seen after groups of people feel negatively towards a certain thing. These people collectively group
together and riot to try to change these circumstances. Riots can often turn violent and end in lots of
destruction. The people collectively involved in riots are often fueled with anger and passion
towards their riot movement, which can result in "violent crowd behavior directed at people, and
property" (Henslin 628). Sometimes, riots can even result in death. "In the Gordon riots of 1780, the
demonstration took a heavy toll on property and freed inmates of prions but there is no evidence
they killed anyone. However, 285 rioters were killed during the riots and another 25 were hanged
afterwards" (Couch 313). According to Henslin, the riot is not the most important aspect, but what
the rioters are trying to

Herding is an everyday phenomenon from personal to financial contexts. The focus of this paper is
to explore the theory of herding, namely Compensation Based Herding (CBH) and its effect on
financial markets. The report aims to explain herding, assess the advantages and disadvantages of
CBH incorporating the 2008 financial crisis, and explore the possibility that CBH may have no
effect on the financial markets. Herding occurs when investors imitate each other and create a
bandwagon effect. There are three general reasons why herding exists in financial markets. Firstly it
is due to uncertainty, where if investors are unsure of the markets, they will simply mimic each
other's actions. Secondly, agents are compensated in relation to the ... Show more content on

An example of CBH can be seen in the 2008 financial system crisis. Investment banks began to
emulate each other through a period of high volumes of sub–prime mortgages. The demand for sub–
prime mortgages was rising as hopeful home owners with poor credit could obtain such a mortgage
by paying little or no down payment and without going through proper tax documentation and credit
checks. Investment banks borrowed more to purchase the sub–prime mortgages and earned a
commission fee when selling it to individuals and institutions. Decisions made across the investment
banks began to become more uniform, as these investors were compensated based on their
performance measured against their peers. Investment banks were making large profits, cashing in
on the notion that as the demand for the sub–prime mortgages and houses went up, the house prices
increased in accordance. If the mortgage holders were to default, their houses were worth enough to
cover their debts with the banks. However, they were ignoring the blatant evidence that their
investment portfolios were inefficient and highly risky. Publicly available information showed that
these mortgage holders were not able to meet their payments. Not only were their credit ratings
exceptionally low as compared to other borrowers, these sub–prime mortgages also carry interest
rate structures with low "teaser rates" in the first few

The Social Of Social Learning Theory
In many different social settings, individuals learn by observation. From a young age, babies
observe their parents and mimic their actions. This is a prime example of the social learning theory.
The social learning theory "suggests that observational learning can have a powerful effect and that
the effect is enhanced when the observers believe that the person demonstrating the behavior is
similar to themselves" (Deeming & Johnson, 2009, p. 204). Why is this theory important to society,
one may ask? Aside from the fact that the social learning theory is widely used everyday, it is
something that all individuals both learn from and demonstrate to others. The purpose of this report

472). Whether learning would be in a preschool, elementary school, middle school, high school or
even college, teachers, professors and even peers all teach us. The social learning theory applies to
both intentional learning, which would be learning in a school/educational setting, and unintentional
learning, which would be learning in a social setting. The saying "you learn something new
everyday" is legitimate, especially when it is used in relation to the social learning theory. Next, the
social learning theory is also influenced by culture. According to Annie McCullough Chavis,
"Culture shapes human behavior and the social environment" (2013, p. 472). Culture regulates what
is appropriate for a given set of people in society. Individuals can learn from culture, while at the
same time, culture is constantly changing to fit the needs of the people. Culture influences the way
individuals behaves in society. McCullough Chavis went on to say that, "All individuals are social
beings and carry within them their cultural experiences that affect all aspects of behavior" (2013, p.
472). By the same token, we learn from culture through experiences, and these experiences shape
our thoughts, outlooks, actions, and so much more every single day. The social learning theory is
one of the few theories that can be

investors' trading strategies rather than acting upon their own beliefs and private information.

How War Has Major Psychological Effects On Children

Abstract
This paper reflects on the concept of how war has major psychological effects on children within its
sphere of influence and how it can alters a child's state of mind and behavior. When compared to the
influence and impressionability that child have compared to adults in times of war show that
children are much more susceptible to these levels of influence and later along in life can lead to
many various psychological and social issues. While a child is capable of resisting the negative
influences from the war there is only so much a child can handle. It may lead to antisocial behaviors,
violent behaviors, depressed behaviors, or any other typically negative state of mind in the child.
How Are Children Affected By War
War can cause man psychological issues to children. War in and of itself can bring along long lasting
lingering psychological stress and trauma to children as well as alter these children's states of mind
over a long period of time. War itself as a whole places a massive quantity of pressure and stress on
individuals in general, both child and adults alike, but children in particular are more easily
susceptible to these effect to a much larger scale and degree. This then deepens even more as certain
age ranges of children are more susceptible and impressionable to the everlasting effects and
influences of war's existence as

Albert Bandura 's Theory Of Radical Behaviorism Theory
Parsimony is often regarded as one of the cornerstones in the evaluation of psychological constructs
and theories. Importantly, the condition of parsimony in itself presents a risk, potentially placing an
unnecessary limitation, when a more complex explanation may better reflect the overall complex
nature of the fundamental underlying concept that is under scrutiny (Epstein, 1984). Albert Bandura
's social cognitive theory and B. F. Skinner 's theory of radical behaviourism have provided two of
the most influential contributions to psychology, and when examining Skinner and Bandura 's
theories, this notion of parsimony becomes highly prevalent, as it is the most significant way in
which the two theories differ. This stark contrast in parsimony arises from the methodological
differences between the two theories in their treatment of the role of cognition. Skinner 's theory
asserts a situationalist perspective of personality which is underpinned by the idea that all behaviour
is purely deterministic and solely caused by the environment, thus by consequence any learning of
new behaviours or personality occurs independently of the learner (Murphy, Maltby and Cloninger,
2010; Skinner, 1950). By contrast, Bandura (Murphy, Maltby and Cloninger; 2010, Bandura, 2001,
2006) proposes a dynamic perspective of personality which underpins the notion of reciprocal
determinism, encompassing a complex and dynamic interaction between personal factors (namely
cognition), behaviour and the

Analysis Of We Real Cool
We Real Cool Analysis Mob mentality, also known as herd mentality is how people are influenced
by their peers to adopt certain behaviors. In reality, people in the group developed one lifestyle, one
purpose, and one mind. This mentality is slightly shown in something as innocent as school cliques.
But often, this mob mentality can have negative consequences. Gwendolyn Brooks' We Real Cool is
a cautionary tale of 7 pool players living fast and dying young together. The poem uses symbolism,
diction, and sound devices such as alliteration, rhythm, and repetition to emphasize the theme of
identity and mortality. Brooks' use of repetition and alliteration shines light on themes such as death
and identity. The word "we" is used ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
"We Left School" paints the picture of the boys neglecting their education as teenagers leading them
down the wrong path and inevitably to death. "We Die Soon" is a break from the poem's flow. The
phrase overall shows mortality and at the result of the actions said previous to this line. The diction
of these phrases are short and simple words. It is slang that is grammatically incorrect showing that
the teenagers neglected their education, contributing to their image of being rebellious. Additionally,
Brooks uses "We" rather than "They" for the purpose of the reader to see their sense of unity.
Spondee is also present all through the poem. Every syllable is stressed meaning that each word said
is important. It is a mantra that the 7 pool players are adamant about me are all in agreement on.
This adds on to the theme of being one collective, sharing one purpose. Brooks also ties together
rhythm and diction like rap music to relate to the reader and the youth in the poem. "We" acts as the
grace note in the poem. Symbolism contributes to many aspects of We Real Cool. The subtitle "The
Pool Players. Seven at the Golden Shovel" differs from the 4 stanza couplets in the rest of the poem.
"The Pool Players" are the only non symbolic phrase in the subtitle. The subjects are actual pool
players. "Seven" is the number of boys but also is a number known for being lucky like in gambling
or seven deadly sins. "The Golden Shovel" is the name of the pool hall they go to but

Cattle Raiding in Uganda
Cattle raiding is the act of stealing cattle. It is not a new occurrence, in fact it is ancient. However,
due to several unfortunate stressors experienced in northern Uganda, it has become a major issue.
Particularly the impaction of AK–47 weapons that the Karimojong agropastoralists needed to adapt
to in order to survive. Cattle raiding with AK–47 guns rapidly increased among the nomadic herding
societies in the 1970s. Several studies have shown that there have been dire consequences due to
these methods. Such as; decreased female fertility and an increased mortality of young children
along with adult males as well. The study in the article was "initiated by ____ Gray in 1998 to
document changes in the sturucutre and functioning of an African pastoralist ecosystem as a result
of economic development and modernization and to quanitfy the effects of this transfomration on
human biobehavioral adaptability" Northeastern Uganda has suffered multiple economic
develpments which greatly effected herd management. As well as land use, and distribution of
resources become unstable during harsh seasons. Thus, their livestock and rangeland depleted
leaving the population with scarce foods and subjected to an increase of life threatening diseases.
The Karimojong consist of specialized pastoralist societies. The Turkana, the group of people who
the Karimojong are frequently compared to, seem to have come from a common ancestor of the
