Modeling in Therapy

Modeling in Therapy

Modeling, a key technique in therapy, uses observational learning to help clients acquire and practice new skills by watching therapists demonstrate desired behaviors. This approach, rooted in Albert Bandura's concept of vicarious learning, plays a significant role in therapeutic interventions for various psychological conditions, including social anxiety, ADHD, and depression.

Self-Discrepancy Theory

Self-Discrepancy Theory

One influential perspective on what motivates people's behavior is detailed in Tory Higgin's self-discrepancy theory (Higgins, 1987). He proposed that people hold disagreeing internal representations of themselves that lead to different emotional states.

Social Facilitation

Social Facilitation

Not all intergroup interactions lead to negative outcomes. Sometimes, being in a group situation can improve performance. Social facilitation occurs when an individual performs better when an audience is watching than when the individual performs the behavior alone. This typically occurs when people are performing a task for which they are skilled.

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,...

Avoidance Learning and Learned Helplessness

Avoidance Learning and Learned Helplessness

Avoidance learning and learned helplessness are critical concepts in understanding behavioral responses to negative stimuli.
Avoidance learning occurs when an organism learns that a specific behavior can prevent an unpleasant outcome. For example, a student who receives a bad grade may start studying harder to avoid future poor grades. This behavior persists even when the negative outcome is no longer present. Avoidance learning is powerful because it maintains behavior in the absence of the...

Area of Science:

Organizational Psychology
Occupational Health Psychology

Background:

Work withdrawal behavior is a significant negative outcome for employees and organizations.
Understanding the mechanisms behind work withdrawal is crucial for intervention.

Purpose of the Study:

To investigate the mediating role of negative work rumination between obstructive stress and work withdrawal behavior.
To examine the moderating effects of work control and cognitive flexibility on obstructive stress and work withdrawal.

Main Methods:

Quantitative study with 596 full-time employees.
Two-timepoint measurements conducted one month apart.
Analysis based on the work demand-control-personal model.

Main Results:

Negative work rumination fully mediated the relationship between obstructive stress and work withdrawal behavior.
A significant three-way interaction was found between cognitive flexibility, obstructive stress, and work control.
Cognitive flexibility and work control can mitigate the negative impact of obstructive stress.

Conclusions:

Employee cognition, particularly rumination, plays a key role in work withdrawal.
Organizations should foster cognitive flexibility and ensure work resources are effectively utilized to buffer stress.
