Sociocultural perspective: Afraid of being judged by anyone that saw her with a baby, she decided to give the baby up. 

Behavioral perspective:  The teenage was never taught the importance of “safe sex” and using protection. 

 

Biological perspective: She has 7 siblings, which means her mother never had complications or problems with becoming pregnant. 

 

Cognitive perspective: Due to his primary language being English, he had to study harder than his peers in order learn the language efficiently. 

 

Sociocultural perspective: He didn’t want to get made fun by friends and family because he spoke English instead of Spanish. 

Humanistic perspective: you decided that you’re tired as night approaches. 

 

Behavioral perspective: you’ve seen your peers get tired as night approaches so you too get tired as night approaches

 

Evolutionary perspective: humans aren’t nocturnal so we get tired as night approaches.

Cognitive: She thought everything was okay because she could simply get a job and pay it all back.

Behavioral: (Nurture) She grew up with a mother that didn’t know how to save money so she never learned the importance.

Psychoanalytic: He grew up watching his parents and other family members drink obsessively, In return he inferred that it is okay to drink obsessively. 

Sociocultural: When he went out to parties all the popular people had a tendency to drink heavily, so in an attempt to be popular he drinks heavily.

Behavioral: Starting with the parents not disciplining correctly and spiraling with other naughty siblings and/or friends. If a parent doesn’t stop a child’s bad behavior as soon as it arises they do not learn that it is mean or a bad coping skill. 

Biological: ADHD is hereditary and can make learning, focusing, and processing information much more difficult for a child. The child is often extremely hyper and can also come with anger problems even at a young age. Often times this is misunderstood and therefore grownup (parents, teachers, etc.) look at the child as being naughty and therefore do not correct in a proper way. This goes hand in hand with behavioral—causes the child to believe they are naughty because everyone treats them that way. 

Sociocultural: It is no longer “acceptable” to use many forms of punishment towards children, such as spanking, so many children go unpunished or punished in a way that is not effective. A parent doesn’t want to be looked at as cruel, abusive, or mean towards their child so bad habits aren’t always corrected. 

Psychoanalytic: This person could actually be traumatized from trying to help, either if there was an accident that happened while not being lazy or if they were yelled at or abused for trying to help.

Sociocultural: If you try to not be lazy when all of your peers are lazy, you could be ridiculed for what you do or tried to do. 

Human Behavior: Eating unhealthy foods                            Charles Fah
 

 

Social cultural:  So many other people do it in society so what’s the problem if I would do it.
 

 

Humanistic:  The person doesn’t feel the need to eat healthy is there so they just live on an unhealthy diet.

 

Evolutionary:  Many unhealthy foods for example contain sugar which 100s of years ago was harder to come by our human instinct is to eat lots of sugary food because of the glucose is a major source of fuel for the brain.

Sociocultural perspective: She found crowds and other social situations to feel dangerous even when she wasn’t in any kind of danger.

Cognitive perspective: Because she worried so much about the bad outcomes, she never got to experience good outcomes. This happened because of all the “what ifs”.

Cognitive Perspective- A person may feel uncomfortable going out in public or being in a group of people because they are extremely worried that the people around them are judging them. They often underestimate their abilities to handle social situations. 

                Sociocultural Perspective- A person with social anxiety may feel pressured by their peers to go out and try new things like going to a party, or going to any new place. These people may feel like they want to please everyone because they are afraid of disappointment. 

                Biological Perspective- A person with a parent who has social anxiety may have never been taught or shown what being social in a group setting is like. Therefore, social anxiety can be hereditary.  

Sociocultural: A person is made to feel guilty about not being cool and staying up late by their roommates.

Evolutionary: A person believes that the ability to stay up very late and work through the next day on a small amount of sleep is a sign of overall strength and mental toughness.

People who chuckle after they’ve spoken. 

 Someone I know has this behavior. It’s during meetings and it bothers me to no end. Seems like it’s after every sentence. What is so funny? Deep down I imagine its nerves, but it still bugs the crud out of me. 

Perspective 1: Behavioral. 

Perhaps negative reinforcements influenced this person to seek comfort in an uncomfortable situation. Positive reinforcements from others may help with behavior modification to stop the chuckle. 

 

Perspective 2: Psychoanalytic. 

In this person’s childhood, he/ she may remember a time when laughing helped him/ her through a tough time and/or it may be from a trauma whether it be from childhood or adulthood. Perhaps working with his/ her subconscious would be of help. Finding a certified hypnotist may be a tool in this endeavor. 

 

Perspective 3: Cognitive. 

Perhaps his/ her mental processes are askew. Can he/ she use tools necessary to forward her progress? Working on these processes may help this individual with using the tools to get him/ her to a point where he/ she doesn’t fall back on old habits.

Sociocultural is one category you can place acting out. You see it a lot in schools where a child will act out to get a few laughs. Once that child hears those laughs from peers it’s hard to put a stop to it. The are searching for acceptance from their peers. People also like to be acknowledged by others and some times gets it in ways that maybe aren't the best way to be seen. 

Behavioral is the second category I will explain. It's very common for a person to act out after being disciplined or called out on something. They may feel cornered or feel embarrassed. This person could have also been raised or picked up the “you can't tell me what to do” mentality. Some people may have had a bad home life and learned some bad habits from parents for older siblings and may not see their social problems. 

The next category I will explain is the one that most likely can’t be changed or helped. Cognitive behaviors are not a choice or a solution to being told no. There are a lot of cases or people with aspergers or autism that can’t help but to act out. It could be as simple as a touch or the atmosphere in a room that can set them off. Its their way of coping

Behavioral – The student hasn’t been reinforced for accepting being wrong. Additionally, they may have even had negative reinforcement that causes them to react negatively.

Psychoanalytic – The student had a traumatic experience with being wrong as a child that shaped their perception on being called out for being wrong. 

Sociocultural Approach 

This type of behavior is ingrained in our culture that we don’t even think about it. This behavior is reinforced by our culture because it is socially accepted and expected to hug someone we are close with. In our culture hugging is also seen as an appropriate way to show affection toward someone you care about. 

Humanistic 

Hugging is a way to show that we care about that person. Caring about someone is a natural thing that humans do when we are close to someone. Having people that care for us and also caring for others makes most people feel like they are meaningful and important to others. 

Evolutionary 

Hugging make us feel good by the release of oxytocin. Having this hormone released when hugging someone makes us feel more attached to that person and makes us want to continue to hug the people we are close to. 

  Environmental factors play a big part in how an individual interacts with 

others around them. If the environment is hostile or uncomfortable the 

individual will probably be more distant when it comes to interacting

with others around them.

 

 

  Inherited traits play a big part in how individuals adapt. Which would 

make it easier for the individual to adapt to new situations. Also dealing

with social situations they might not have had to experience in the past.

 

 

  Emotions and early child hood experiences play a part in this perspective.  If an individual had a bad experience with previous people, and then see similar qualities within someone else, this could change the way they interact with that new person. 
Emotions definitely affect how someone interacts with their peers.
A lot of people do tend to let their emotions overcome

their logical thought process.

Psychoanalytic- someone may be more sarcastic because of their childhood. There parents could have been very sarcastic and that is there style of humor so growing up that way you are bound to do the same thing.

Cognitive- Some people maybe negative but use sarcasm to cover up what they are actually thinking about a situation or another person

Human Behavior – Exercise             Cassie Docken

Behavioral- Influenced by the physical and social environment around them and how they grew up.

Psychoanalytic- Someone who grew up playing sports their whole life and being around fit and active people will impact them in the future on keeping that mind set of needing to exercise.

Sociocultural- This person loves exercise because their family is very fit and active and the friends they hang around with are very fit as well.
~

Behavioral- If a person is surrounded by a group that lives a healthy and active lifestyle, they too will be inclined to live a similar life.

Sociocultural- If a person is concerned with being judged or labeled by other people around them, they might not achieve their full potential because they would rather remain under the radar.

Evolutionary- A person might take part in something that they might not necessarily like or agree with, but will do it anyway because it’s what potential mates like or agree with.
