Social Exchange Theory

Social Exchange Theory

We have discussed why we form relationships, what attracts us to others, and different types of love. But what determines whether we are satisfied with and stay in a relationship? One theory that provides an explanation is social exchange theory. According to social exchange theory, we act as naïve economists in keeping a tally of the ratio of costs and benefits of forming and maintaining a relationship with others (Rusbult & Van Lange, 2003).

Principle of Virtual Work: Problem Solving

Principle of Virtual Work: Problem Solving

The principle of virtual work is an essential concept in the field of mechanics and engineering. This is used to solve problems related to the equilibrium of a structure or system. It is based on the assumption that if a system is in equilibrium, the work done by all the forces during a virtual displacement is zero. This principle is applied by considering virtual displacements of the system and the corresponding work done by internal and external forces.
To apply the principle of virtual work,...

Influence of Parents and Peers on Identity

Influence of Parents and Peers on Identity

Adolescence is a pivotal period of identity formation, during which individuals begin to answer questions central to their sense of self, such as "Who am I?" and "Who do I hope to become?" Both parents and peers play critical roles in guiding adolescents through this complex developmental phase.
Parental Influence on Identity Development
Parents serve as primary guides and managers in an adolescent's life, offering support instrumental in decision-making and personal growth....

Persuasion Strategies

Persuasion Strategies

Researchers have tested many persuasion strategies, including the foot-in-the door and the door-in-the-face techniques, in a variety of contexts. Ultimately, the principles are effective in selling products and changing people’s attitude, ideas, and behaviors (Cialdini & Goldstein, 2004).

Attribution Theory

Attribution Theory

Behavior is a product of both the situation (e.g., cultural influences, social roles, and the presence of bystanders) and of the person (e.g., personality characteristics). Subfields of psychology tend to focus on one influence or behavior over others. Situationism is the view that our behavior and actions are determined by our immediate environment and surroundings. In contrast, dispositionism holds that our behavior is determined by internal factors (Heider, 1958).

Social Loafing

Another way in which a group presence can affect performance is social loafing—the exertion of less effort by a person working together with a group. Social loafing occurs when our individual performance cannot be evaluated separately from the group. Thus, group performance declines on easy tasks (Karau & Williams, 1993). Essentially individual group members loaf and let other group members pick up the slack. Because each individual’s efforts cannot be evaluated,...

Area of Science:

Mental Health Services Research
Psychosocial Interventions
Qualitative Research

Background:

Open Dialogue (OD) is a therapeutic approach used in mental health services.
Peer practitioners with lived experience are integrated into OD teams.
Intentional Peer Support (IPS) principles inform the peer practitioner role.

Purpose of the Study:

To analyze the conceptual underpinnings of peer practitioners in OD.
To identify unique practice principles peer practitioners bring to OD.
To explore the contribution of peer support to dialogical practice.

Main Methods:

Literature review of OD and IPS.
Analysis of discussions from an Action Learning Set of peer practitioners.
Drawing on findings from the ODDESSI research study.

Main Results:

Peer practitioners share philosophical similarities with OD, focusing on relational encounters.
Differences exist in conceptualizing mutuality and self-disclosure between OD and IPS.
Peer practitioners offer distinct contributions: attunement, validation, connection, mutuality, and self-disclosure.

Conclusions:

Peer practitioners can significantly enhance Open Dialogue practice.
Their lived experience provides a unique dimension to dialogical approaches.
Integrating peer practitioners enriches mental health service delivery.
