Many theories and perspectives exist regarding human behavior. One of these theories is the psychodynamic approach which deals with our internal state of mind in terms of the development of human behavior. One perspective is the social behavioral perspective which talks about the influence of the environment on the development of human behavior. Some of these theories and perspectives affect the underlying belief of the previous theory or shape the foundations of the next theory. While both have their positive aspects and can be useful in helping customers, they have some flaws that cannot be overlooked. Thyer explained, “Social work practice is often seen as centered on various theories of the etiology of psychosocial problems, various theories (Hutchison, 2011). It is a broad view of different theories on how human behavior develops through interactions with its environment. (Hutchinson, 2011) The environment has eight diverse and compelling measures. These are: physical environment, culture, social structure and social foundations, dyads (connections between two individuals), families, small groups, formal associations, communities and social developments. (Hutchison, 2011) Some of the major ideas behind the social behavior perspective are that not all behavior is concrete. Just as behavior is learned and adapted, it can also be defined and modified. (Hutchison, 2011) He also proposes that all human problems can evolve into troublesome behavior. Finally, according to Hutchison (2011), “all human behavior is learned according to the same learning principles: association of environmental stimuli, reinforcement, imitation and personal expectations and meanings”. (p. Watson and BF Skinner (Hutchison, 2011). Operant conditioning viewed behavior as the product of positive and negative reinforcements. Behavior is learned and performed more frequently through rewards (positive reinforcements), than it receives, or weakened by punishments (negative reinforcements) which is a penalty of the behavior (Hutchison, 2011, the behavior could also be learned “…indirectly (through observational learning)” (Mae Sincero, 2012).: modeling, imitation, vicarious learning, identification, copying, social facilitation, contagion, and role play” (Bustamante, Howe-Tennant and Ramo, 1996). establishment of behavior (Hutchison, 2011). An example of operant conditioning is that every time the child cleans his room his father gives him ice, the child will continue to clean his room in order to continue receiving the ice. doesn't clean his room, he gets spanked. This will result in the child starting to clean their room because they don't want to be spanked. An example of observational learning would be a young teenage girl who gets her stomach pierced because she saw all her friends getting their stomachs pierced.
