Case Studies

Case Studies

There are many research methods available to psychologists in their efforts to understand, describe, and explain behavior and the cognitive and biological processes that underlie it.

Cognitive Learning

Cognitive Learning

Cognitive learning is based on purposive behavior, incidental learning, and insight learning.
E. C. Tolman's theory of purposive behavior emphasizes that much behavior is goal-directed. He argued that to understand behavior, we must look at the entire sequence of actions leading to a goal. For instance, high school students study hard, not just due to past reinforcement but also to achieve the goal of getting into a good college.
Tolman introduced the idea that behavior is influenced by...

Role-Based Identity

Role-Based Identity

Role-based identities are central to understanding how individuals navigate social environments by adopting distinct self-conceptions aligned with various societal roles. These identities are not fixed traits but are constructed through personal actions and the social feedback individuals receive in context-specific interactions. Each social role, such as student, teacher, or friend, carries a set of expectations and norms that influence how people think, feel, and behave within that...

Robbers Cave

Robbers Cave

During the 1950s, the landmark Robbers Cave experiment demonstrated that when groups must compete with one another, intergroup conflict, hostility, and even violence may result. At the Oklahoman summer camp, two troops of boys—termed the Rattlers and the Eagles—took part in a week-long tournament. During this time, their negativity culminated in derogatory name-calling, fistfights, and even vandalism and destruction of property. However, this work also revealed that such tension...

Surveys

Surveys

Often, psychologists develop surveys as a means of gathering data. Surveys are lists of questions to be answered by research participants, and can be delivered as paper-and-pencil questionnaires, administered electronically, or conducted verbally. Generally, the survey itself can be completed in a short time, and the ease of administering a survey makes it easy to collect data from a large number of people.

Area of Science:

Public Health
Infectious Diseases
Social Determinants of Health

Background:

Tuberculosis (TB) disproportionately affects impoverished communities globally.
The complex relationship between poverty and TB requires targeted interventions.
Understanding the socio-economic drivers of TB is crucial for effective control.

Purpose of the Study:

To explore the intricate links between poverty and tuberculosis (TB) through practical experience.
To gain insight into the challenges faced by vulnerable populations in accessing TB care.
To underscore the importance of social determinants in public health initiatives.

Main Methods:

Qualitative insights gained from a placement with a pan-London tuberculosis (TB) service.
Observation of service delivery to vulnerable communities.
Analysis of the intersection between socio-economic status and TB prevalence.

Main Results:

Direct observation confirmed TB's role as both a consequence and perpetuator of poverty.
Vulnerable groups face significant barriers to TB diagnosis and treatment.
Community-based services are vital for reaching underserved populations.

Conclusions:

TB is inextricably linked to poverty, demanding a holistic public health approach.
Addressing social determinants is essential for successful TB eradication strategies.
Targeted outreach programs are critical for improving TB outcomes in vulnerable communities.
