Document Summary

One approach is not better then another. Some researchers use more than one of them: psychodynamic approach. Emphasizes the unconscious aspects of the mind. Conflict between biological instincts and society"s demands. Structure of the mind (id, ego, super ego) May have roots in relationship with parents: behavioural (learning) approach. Interactions with the environment that can be seen and measured. Emphasizes the scientific study of observational behaviour. Asserts that behaviour is shaped by the environment. Social cognitive theory (bandura) stresses that behaviour is determined not only by environment but also how thoughts modify the impact of the environment on behaviour (observational learning) Violence increases when it pays off (rewards) Non violent behaviour can be punished: cognitive approach focuses on the mental process involved with knowning. How we direct our attention and perceptions how we remember and how we think and how we solve problems contrasts the environmental forces implicated by behaviouralism.
