Skinner
, operant conditioning
Operant conditioning
voluntary behaviors are learned through consequences, and
behavioral responses are elicited through reinforcement, which
causes a behavior to occur more frequently. Positive reinforcement-
getting a gift, or negative reinforcement- removal of objectionable' or
aversive stimulus
Skinner
Absence of reinforcement, or extinction, also decreases behavior by
withholding a reward that has become habitual. Teachers employ this
strategy in the classroom when they ignore acting-out behavior that
had previously been rewarded by more attention.
Skinner's behavior model provides a concrete method for modifying
or replacing behaviors. Behavior management and modification
programs based on his principles have shown to be successful in
altering targeted behaviors. Programmed learning and token
economies represent extensions of Skinner's thoughts on learning.
Behavioral methods are particularly effective with children,
adolescents, and individuals with many forms of chronic mental
illness.
Universality
Yaslom: The recognition of shared experiences and feelings among
group members and that these may be widespread or universal
human concerns, serves to remove a group member's sense of
isolation, validate their experiences, and raise self-esteem.
Altruism
Yaslom: The group is a place where members can help each other,
and the experience of being able to give something to another person
can lift the member's self esteem and help develop more adaptive
coping styles and interpersonal skills.
Instillation of hope
Yaslom: In a mixed group that has members at various stages of
development or recovery, a member can be inspired and encouraged
