Behaviorism
General Overview

According to Winsor,
Murrell & MagunJackson, the
behaviorist
perspective proposed
that it was more
important to
understand observable
(external) human
actions rather than the
human thought
processes (internal
and unobservable)
(2105,p.).

A behaviorist would
study behaviors that
are both observable
and measurable
(Windsor, Murrell, &
Jackson, 2015).

Behaviorism: includes
both a stimulus and a
response;
Two types of
behaviorist learning:
classical conditioning
and operant
conditioning
p.31

Classical Conditioning
Process

Winsor, Murrell &

Magun-Jackson
(2015), explain that
Classical
conditioning primarily
focuses on the ability
to use stimuli to create
involuntary
responses (p. 32).

Classical conditioning
experiments should
consist of three phases
that includes the
precondition phase,
the conditioning phase
and the post
conditioning phase
(Windsor, Murrell, &
Magun-Jackson,
2015).

Winsor, Murrell &

(Windsor, Murrell, &
Magun-Jackson, agree Magun-Jackson,
that Operant
2015).
conditioning refers to
the control of an
individuals voluntary
responses; and places
emphasis on an
individuals actions
(2015).

Social Learning Theory

The Social Learning

Theory perspective as
described by, Murrell
& Magun-Jackson ,
state that This
perspective suggests
that a substantial
amount of human
learning takes place as
individuals observe
the actions that occur
within the
environment(2015).

Because of social
learning and
individual often
interacts with others
based off of observing
others behavior
(Windsor, Murrell, &
Magun-Jackson,
2015).

According to Winsor,
Murrell and MagunJackson (2015),
Learned
Helplessness results if
individuals are unable
to effectively cope
with negative
situations that may
arise within the
environment.

One who allows a

negative situation to
have control over
ones self rather than
being in control of the
situation is
experiencing learned
helplessness
(Windsor, Murrell,
&Magun- Jackson,
2015).
