The Behavioral Perspective on Personality01:19

The Behavioral Perspective on Personality

810
Behaviorists view personality as primarily shaped by environmental reinforcements and consequences. According to this perspective, behavior is influenced by external stimuli, and individuals adjust their actions based on rewards and punishments. Over time, learning histories — accumulated patterns of reinforcement — play a significant role in shaping personality. Behaviors that lead to positive outcomes are reinforced, while those resulting in negative outcomes are diminished.

Timing and Consequences on Behavior01:08

Timing and Consequences on Behavior

368
In operant conditioning, the timing of reinforcement is crucial. For animals like rats and cats, immediate reinforcement (within a few seconds) is much more effective than delayed reinforcement. For example, a food reward for a rat needs to follow within 30 seconds of pressing a bar to be effective. 
Humans, however, can respond to delayed reinforcers. We often make decisions between immediate small rewards and delayed larger rewards. This ability to delay gratification is a significant...

Psychodynamic Perspectives on Personality

1.6K
The psychodynamic perspective in psychology asserts that most personality functions operate unconsciously, outside of awareness. This means that the motives and emotions driving behavior often remain hidden, automatically buried in the unconscious mind as a defense mechanism to shield us from psychological distress. According to this theory, the unconscious mind contains thoughts, memories, and emotions that are too disturbing to face directly.
Psychodynamic theorists argue that unconscious...

Criticisms of the Evolutionary Perspective

348
In a study where individuals posing as strangers offered compliments and proposed casual sex to students, the responses differed significantly based on gender. Not a single woman accepted the proposal, while 70% of the men agreed. This outcome provides a useful scenario to explore through the lens of evolutionary psychology and social learning theory, highlighting the diverse perspectives on human sexual behaviors.
Evolutionary psychology provides one explanation for these findings, suggesting...

Social Cognitive Perspective on Personality

1.0K
Social cognitive perspectives on personality emphasize the importance of conscious awareness, beliefs, expectations, and goals in shaping behavior. These perspectives incorporate behaviorist principles, such as learning through reinforcement and conditioning, but extend beyond them by highlighting human reasoning and planning. Unlike traditional behaviorist views, social cognitive theory focuses on how individuals reflect on their past experiences and plan for future outcomes by considering...

Changes in Skin Color: Clinical Perspectives

3.4K
The first thing a clinician sees is the skin, so the examination of the skin should be part of any thorough physical examination. Most skin disorders are relatively benign, but a few, including melanomas, can be fatal if untreated. A couple of the more noticeable disorders, albinism and vitiligo, affect the appearance of the skin and its accessory organs.
Albinism
Albinism is a genetic disorder that affects (completely or partially) the coloring of skin, hair, and eyes. The defect is primarily...

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Behavioral Science

Background:

  • Chasing losses is a diagnostic criterion for gambling disorder, yet research remains limited.
  • Understanding factors influencing chasing behavior is crucial for gambling disorder treatment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the mediating role of chasing behavior in the relationship between time perspective and gambling severity.
  • To explore the interplay between time orientation, chasing, and gambling involvement.

Main Methods:

  • Compared non-problem and problem gamblers (N=92) on time perspective (Consideration of Future Consequences) and chasing behavior.
  • Utilized a computerized task for chasing assessment and the Italian South Oaks Gambling Screen for gambling severity.
  • Employed regression and path analyses to examine predictive relationships.

Main Results:

  • Problem gamblers exhibited higher chasing rates and a more present-oriented time perspective.
  • Chasers were more present-oriented than non-chasers.
  • Present time orientation directly impacted gambling severity and mediated the relationship between chasing and gambling involvement.

Conclusions:

  • Chasing behavior significantly exacerbates gambling disorder.
  • This study elucidates the complex relationship between time perspective, chasing, and gambling severity in adults.
