7. Operant Conditioning (OC) • Applications of Operant Conditioning • Reinforcement Vs punishment • Positive and negative reinforcement • Reinforcement: behavior is shaped by its desirable consequence • Shaping, Fading, Chaining,…

8. Behavior Therapies • Basic Assumptions • Behaviors are conditioned and shaped by stimulus and consequences • Human being is treated as ‘black box’.

18. Model Variables… • Similarity, Proximity, Salience, Nurturance, Commonality of Outcomes, Variation of Models … • Coping Vs Mastery Models, In-Vivid and Imagery Models, … • These all contribute to modeling effect in general, but its impact depends on its context

19. Social Cognitive Theory Implications to Social Work Practice, So….?

20. Self-efficacy • Sources of developing Self-efficacy Enactive, Vicarious, Persuasory and Physiological. • Importance: Behavior expectancy (linking to positive outcome) and self-efficacy are two important determinants for behavior learning. • Role of self-efficacy in behavior learning • Self-fulfilling prophecy of Self-efficacy

21. Self-efficacy • Sources of developing Self-efficacy E______, V______, P_______ and P________. • Importance: B_____ E______ (linking to positive outcome) and S___ E_____ are two important determinants for behavior learning. • Role of self-efficacy in behavior learning • Self-fulfilling prophecy of Self-efficacy

22. Reinforcement • Three types of Reinforcement • Direct Reinforcement • Vicarious reinforcement • Self-reinforcement (SR and SE)

23. Rounding Up What are implications of CC, OC and SCT to behavior changes and skills learning?

40. Self Talk Statement Think about a positive self talk statement when you are in difficult time.

41. Self-Instructional Training • Self talk statement can incorporate different cognitive strategies, including… • SIT is a kind of self talk statement. • Impulsivity is highly related to lack of / underdevelopment of self-talk statement • SIT – a means of exercising covert control over behavior • General Strategy: From impersonal to personal, from over to covert training

42. Self Management • Kanfer: Self-monitoring, Self-Evaluation, and Self-control. • Applied both to Behaviors and Cognitions • A very useful strategy for generalization • Helping client to develop responsibility for his own
