Skinner - answeroperant conditioning Operant conditioning - answervoluntary behaviors are learned through consequences, and behavioral responses are elicited through reinforcement, which causes a behavior to occur more frequently. Positive reinforcement- getting a gift, or negative reinforcement- removal of ob jectionable' or aversive stimulus Skinner - answerAbsence of reinforcement, or extinction, also decreases behavior by withholding a reward that has become habitual. Teachers employ this strategy in the classroom when they ignore acting-out behavior that had previously been rewarded by more attention. Skinner's behavior model provides a concrete method for modifying or replacing b ehaviors. Behavior management and modification programs based on his principles have shown to be successful in altering targeted behaviors. Programmed learning and token economies represent extensions of Skinner's thoughts on learning. Behavioral methods are particularly effective with children, adolescents, and individuals with many forms of chronic mental illness. Universality - answerYaslom: The recognition of shared experiences and feelings among group mem bers and that these may be widespread or universal human concerns, serves to remove a group member's sense of isolation, validate their experiences, and raise self-esteem. Altruism - answerYaslom: The group is a place where members can help each other, and the ex perience of being able to give something to another person can lift the member's self esteem and help devel op more adaptive coping styles and interpersonal skills. Instillation of hope - answerYaslom: In a mixed group that has members at various stages o f development or recovery, a member can be inspired and encouraged by another member who has overcome the problems with which they are still struggling. Imparting information - answerYaslom: While this is not strictly speaking a psychotherapeuti c process, members often report that it has been very helpful to learn factual information from other memb ers in the group, for example, about their treatment or about access to services. Corrective recapitulation of primary family experience - answerYaslom: Members often unconsci ously identify the group therapist and other group members with their own parents and siblings in a process that is a form of transference specific to group psychotherapy. The therapist's interpretations can help group members gain understanding of the impact of childhood experiences on their personal ity, and they may learn to avoid unconsciously repeating unhelpful past interactive patterns in present -day relationships. Development of socializing techniques - answerYaslom: The group setting provid es a safe and supportive environment for members to take risks by extending their repertoire of interpersonal behavior an d improving their social skills. Imitative behavior - answerYaslom: One way in which group members can develop social skills is through a modeling process, observing and imitating the therapist and other group members. For example, sharing personal feelings, showing concern, and supporting others. Cohesiveness - answerYaslom: Is the primary therapeutic factor from which all others flow. Humans are herd animals with an instinctive need to belong to groups, and personal development can only take place in an interpersonal context. A cohesive group is one in which all members feel a sense of belonging, acceptance, and validation.
