While peer rejection alone does not guarantee that a child will develop to have antisocial tendencies, it does contribute to a cascade effect. The developmental cascade model indicates that “a person’s developmental skills or deficits enhance, affect, or determine the next skill or deficit along a life-course trajectory” (Bartol & Bartol, 2016, p. 30).…

The first rule in setting up any time-out procedure is to make sure the child is aware of and understands the behavior that is being targeted, either to reduce or eliminate it altogether. It is also important to inform them about the amount of time they will need to spend in time-out. As a general rule, one minute for each…

Guthrie this could help replace my bad habit of twirling my hair with a different response (Lefrancois, 2012). 2) Chapter 3 in the text (Lefrancois, 2012) explains Hull’s complex hypothetico-deductive system. This system sought to logically explain behavior (output variables) by accounting for observable stimulus variables (input variables) as well as a wide range of conditional variables (intervening variables) (Lefrancois, 2012). After Reading about this system I learned that whether or not…

Applied Behavioural Analysis aims to improve social behaviours by using interventions that are based on the principles of learning theories that have been tested in different experiments using reliable and objective measurements.

ABA is applied in by trying to increase behaviours or social interactions, by learning new life/communications/social skills, by…

Farineau (2016), pointed out the importance of the ecological approach that helps to understand delinquent behaviors of youth in foster care. This article reviewed Brofenbrenner’s ecological theory.

All levels of the system were discussed, and related to youths who are in the foster care. For instance, the author mentioned that the microsystem is the system which the youth…

Briefly describe the essential features of the RNR model and the GLM and analyze their strengths. When reviewing the Risk-Need-Responsivity model (RNR), there are three main principles. These principles are the risk principle, the need principle, and responsibility principle. The risk principle states the treatment plan must match the level of service to the sex offender’s risk to re-offend (Andrews & Bonta, 2007). The need principle states that the psychologist must assess criminogenic needs…

model posits that people are defined by their behaviors. Behaviors are either overt or covert. Overt behaviors involve actions that other people can physically see, such as walking and talking. Covert behaviors cannot be seen by others. They are private behaviors that cannot be directly observed. Although covert behaviors are more difficult to assess, covert behaviors can be inferred from overt behaviors. There are three categories of covert behaviors including cognitions or thoughts, emotions…
