1.1 Field Theory and Its Applicability in Group Work (8 marks)
Field Theory Overview:
Field Theory, developed by Kurt Lewin, is a psychological framework that views behavior as the
result of the individual and their environment interacting within a “life space.” According to
Lewin, behavior (B) is a function of the person (P) and their environment (E), summarized as B =
f(P, E). This theory emphasizes that human behavior cannot be fully understood in isolation; it
must be examined within the context of the social, psychological, and physical forces influencing
the individual.
Key Concepts:
Life Space: The total psychological environment influencing a person at any given
moment, including personal goals, social relationships, and external pressures.
Forces: Motivational factors that can either facilitate or hinder behavior change.
Equilibrium: Individuals strive to maintain balance; tension arises when there is conflict
between forces in the life space, motivating change.
