Social Influences on Human Behavior
Patterns of attachment
Four main patters of attachment seen among children exist. The first is the secure pattern of attachment where the child exhibits sadness and is unable to carry out any task when his/her mother leaves. In this case, the child becomes very delighted when the mother returns. The mother to the child is a safe haven and a good base from which he/she can survey the environment. The next is ambivalent attachment and in this case the child shows extreme sadness on the departure of the mother. Fear of strange faces is equally common in this form of attachment. When the child is reunited with the mother, he/she will move close to her but won’t stay with her for long. The children in this form of attachment have a tendency to cry and explore more.

The child could easily interact with strange faces and doesn’t prioritize reunion with his/her mother (Rose, & O’Reilly, 2016).

Societal factors shown in Joe’s family
A number of the societal factors which I will apply in assessing Joe’s family are family services, child safety, child needs and risk situation within the family. For example, considering the story of Joe, I would get his opinions as to whether he feels threatened. I will evaluate his developmental requirements and the ways in which they are provided. In the case of the parents, I would consider just how they are meeting the welfare needs of their kid and how they are making choices which would make sure that the child grows up in a favorable environment. Also, I would look at the capacity of the father to meet his child’s needs and the ways in which the mother is developing the child socially (Goldstein, 2000).
Emotional factors

Social Influences on Behavior Human behavior depends on feedback from the environment consisting of climatic, material and human factors. Feedback from individuals in the environment is a crucial factor in determining human behavior. The extent to which behavior is shaped by the presence or feedback of others varies from person to person. Certain individuals, such as those living in collectivistic societies, tend to be more sensitive to social influences, whereas others

Group Social Influence Group Orientation and Social Influence Human behaviors are not always guided by personal feelings or internal urges. To the contrary, human behavior is inextricably linked to the context with in which it is committed. In other words, we often behave according to certain standards, norms, expectations and ideals that have originated outside of us and typically in broader systems like families, cultural identities, communities, ethnicities and nationalities.

Introduction Social influence plays a major role in determining the extent to which people conform to norms in their environment. Social psychologists point to a variety of data that shows how impactful on the behaviors of individuals social factors can be. Bandura (2018) used his cognitive learning theory to show that “social cognitive theory is founded on an agentic perspective” that issues agency operation in a “triadic codetermination process of causation”
