It helps us understand why Buddy does certain things. For instance, when Buddy gets a treat for sitting, he learns that sitting leads to a treat, so he's more inclined to do it again. It involves understanding why people and animals behave as they do by observing their actions and the outcomes of those actions.]]> 2024-03-17 01:06:52 UTC https://padlet.com/mcalvey/f7l9in4d1zlrd2jz/wish/2921612457 COGNITIVE THEORY mcalvey https://padlet.com/mcalvey/f7l9in4d1zlrd2jz/wish/2921612595 Cognitive theory helps us understand why people think and feel certain ways. For instance, if someone is afraid of the dark, cognitive theory helps us grasp that they might believe there are monsters in the dark, even though there aren't any. It's about understanding why people think and feel as they do by examining their thoughts and beliefs]]> 2024-03-17 01:07:26 UTC https://padlet.com/mcalvey/f7l9in4d1zlrd2jz/wish/2921612595 SOCIAL THEORY mcalvey https://padlet.com/mcalvey/f7l9in4d1zlrd2jz/wish/2921612709 Social theory involves learning by observing our surroundings. Think of it this way: picture having a large family with many cousins, aunts, and uncles. Social theory is akin to understanding how each family member interacts and why they act as they do. For instance, if one cousin consistently shares toys, social theory reveals that they prioritize sharing and cooperation. It revolves around understanding how people interact based on the social rules and norms that influence their behavior.]]> 2024-03-17 01:08:00 UTC https://padlet.com/mcalvey/f7l9in4d1zlrd2jz/wish/2921612709 HUMANISTIC THEORY mcalvey https://padlet.com/mcalvey/f7l9in4d1zlrd2jz/wish/2921612891 Humanistic theory is a psychological perspective that emphasizes the importance of human potential, self-actualization, and personal growth. It focuses on understanding individuals as whole beings and their unique experiences, rather than reducing them to sets of behaviors or unconscious processes. Humanistic theorists believe that people strive towards self-improvement and fulfillment, driven by their innate desire to realize their full potential and achieve personal meaning in life.

Humanistic theory is like believing that everyone has a special superhero inside them, waiting to come out. Just like superheroes want to do good things and help people, humanistic theory says that everyone wants to be the best they can be and do good things too. It's about believing in yourself and helping others to do the same, so everyone can be their own kind of superhero!

I'm heavily into spirituality, esoteric sciences, metaphysics, and alchemy, and humanistic theory aligns perfectly with that. It's like a guiding light on my journey to understand myself better and unlock my full potential. It acknowledges the importance of my individual path and encourages me to embrace it fully. So, yeah, it's like having a roadmap to navigate my inner world and become the best version of myself.]]> 2024-03-17 01:11:19 UTC https://padlet.com/mcalvey/f7l9in4d1zlrd2jz/wish/2921613592 Seeing VALUE in my tasks mcalvey https://padlet.com/mcalvey/f7l9in4d1zlrd2jz/wish/2921614582 The first technique I like  is seeing  the value in my tasks. When I feel like what I’m doing has a purpose or meaning, it’s like a boost of energy. It’s easier to stay focused and put in the effort because I know it’s leading to something important or fulfilling. Whether it’s helping others, making progress towards my goals, or simply enjoying what I’m doing, finding value in my tasks keeps me motivated and engaged.]]> 2024-03-17 01:15:04 UTC https://padlet.com/mcalvey/f7l9in4d1zlrd2jz/wish/2921614582 LEARNING from my MISTAKES mcalvey https://padlet.com/mcalvey/f7l9in4d1zlrd2jz/wish/2921614747 The second technique is learning from my mistakes. Instead of getting discouraged when things don’t go as planned, I see them as opportunities to grow and improve. Every mistake is a chance to learn something new, refine my skills, and approach things differently next time. It’s like turning setbacks into stepping stones towards success. Plus, the sense of accomplishment when I overcome obstacles or make progress after learning from my mistakes is incredibly rewarding and keeps me motivated to keep pushing forward.]]> 2024-03-17 01:15:47 UTC https://padlet.com/mcalvey/f7l9in4d1zlrd2jz/wish/2921614747
