These include observable characteristics (Nathan, 1985, p.169) such as specific effects of drinking, quantities and lengths of time people drink, and environmental factors.
The article also emphasizes the degree in which this particular theory considers the very root cause of alcoholism. It discusses historical reasons attributed to the etiology of alcoholism, such as a stress reducer, and details some of the positive projections people associate alcohol consumption with. One of the most important points considered is the diagnosis of alcoholism, in which the author advocates a transactional diagnosis.
The article written by Kathryn Coronges et al., "Social network influences of alcohol and marijuana cognitive associations" discusses a research study designed to discern the influence of socialization on the consumption of mind altering substances. The study involved presenting a number of continuation high school students surveys to fill out during and upon the completion of a drug education program. The research study yielded some highly interesting results, such as the effects of implicit attitudes on these teenage students, which, in some cases, could actually contradict explicit attitudes and prove a bigger factor for determining behavior than the latter (Coronges et al., 2011, p. 1305).
Essentially, this research was seeking to ascertain...
This fact was certainly confirmed by the results of the study, particularly for alcohol. Yet there was a much stronger correlation between the impact of peer influence for implicit thoughts and attitudes regarding these two substances rather than on the actual behavior that occurred as a result of those thoughts. This is due in no small part to the fact that there is a marked instability associated with implied attitudes and thoughts (particularly for teenagers) that does not necessarily apply to behavior. Significantly, the article attempts to explicate this particular point, and suggests that an accumulation of unstable or different thoughts may need to take place over an undefined amount of time before they are actuated. The article concludes by alluding to future research that could impact the conclusions found within it. One particular area of focus that could relate to the findings of this article would be to study the nature of transient thoughts and attitudes of people within social structures.

articles in the field of psychology, specifically in theories of social cognition and social learning. Each theory may be related in theme and theory, yet they vary in application and context. One article focuses upon the small group or team. Another article's focus is upon the individual, the team, and the organization. The context within which each study is performed as well as considered varies as well. This demonstrates
Firstly, there is exposure to a model, which however does not necessarily facilitate learning. This is followed by knowledge of the model's behavior and the results of that behavior and finally the acceptance or rejection of the model by the individual as a guide to his or her actions (Weiner, 1980, p. 230). In this regard one can refer back as well to the work of Tarde who suggested
Learning & Teaching Identify a behavior in the healthcare setting that you would like to change that involves extinguishing an undesirable behavior and replacing it with a healthier behavior (e.g., getting cardiac patients to reduce their high-fat diet and eat healthier foods; getting patients with low back pain to minimize their pain and become more independent in their activities). Describe how the behavior could be changed using the principles of a
The message from this simple analysis is clear: people interpret reality in different way ways. In Bandura's view, internal reinforcement is a potent force for enhancing or bolstering the mental states of individuals. Hence a feeling of pride, satisfaction and accomplishment helps both to enhance the individual's cognitive development as well as the learning process. 3. Learning does not always precipitate change in behavior. In other words, people do not

Theoretical Analysis: Julian Rotter Social Learning Theory Including Locust ControlBackground: Historical OverviewJulian Rotter was born in 1916 in Brooklyn, New York as the third son of Jewish immigrant parents (Walker, 1991). Rotter�s father had a successful business that was negatively impacted by the great depression.
