Unit 8 – psychological perceptive. M1 Jessica Hick.
For this task I am going to assess 3 psychological perspectives in relation to the benefits of them in the study and use of health and social care.
Cognitive Perspective.
The cognitive perspective is where the theorists compare the human brain to a computer. The strengths to the cognitive approach are that it’s based around science and lab experiments are used to prove this theory. It works well with other approaches and these approaches support this assumption, such as behaviourist. The weaknesses to this approach are that the theorists think of the human as software and are compared to a computer. Human emotions are ignored and the sight of the whole person is lost.
An example could be that every nurse had a task orientation rather than the tasks been individualized. The nurse who is doing the drug round at a certain time may not need to give everyone a pain killer at that time.
Social learning perspective.
Social learning perspective is were role models are used to influence behaviour. The strengths to this are it explains large number of behaviours and it offers a way to integrate social and cognitive theory. Accurate pictures are also used in this theory to show how the behaviours are learned; also this theory is easily understood. This approach also has many weaknesses such as it doesn’t explain behavioural differences or take into account that one person’s views of punishment could be another’s person’s view of a reward. This approach also doesn’t take into account people’s physical and mental changes.
An example of this could be a smoking awareness as they show images of what it can do to your inside and outside body; also role models can be used to advertise it.
Behaviourist perspective.
The behaviourist theory is based on the belief that all behaviour is learned and shaped by the environment. The strengths are that this theory is straight forward when explain concepts of behaviour and
