The Social Learning Theory
Psychology is a study of the way a human behaves, their emotions and how they process their thoughts.(Walker et al., 2012) Psychologists study behaviour. Behaviour is what people do.(Eysenck and Flanagan, 2000) The two theories which are written about in this essay are The Social Learning Theory which is the work of Albert Bandura and Abraham Maslow's hierarchy of needs theory.
Albert Bandura was a behaviourist. The Social learning theory was a behaviourist theory.
Behaviourists think that the only thing that matters is behaviour. They study the stimulus and the way people respond to a stimulus.(Eysenck and Flanagan, 2000)
The Social Learning Theory (SLT) came about between 1991 and 1965. The social learning theory is a mixture …show more content…
Children behave the way they see adults behave. Mainly they are their family, peers and maybe even people they may see in public. A big limitation of the social learning theory is that behaviour does not just depend on what people observe. It is based on a persons emotional state, their current situation and what kind of personality they have. (Eysenck and Flanagan, 2000)
Abraham Maslow is a humanistic psychologist. He was interested in what motivated everyone. Humanists want to define the final goals of the way humans behave. If people have an abnormality this will have an impact on if they will achieve their goals. People who are normal will strive and successfully achieve their goals.

For this to work a strong therapeutic relationship is needed between the patient and the care worker. The pyramid allows the care worker to see what needs the patient will need to make them feel more happy and sure of themselves. Some patients may feel depressed and may not listen to instructions that they have been given by the care worker so a motivational response is needed to assure the patients to change their behaviour to an appropriate way. (REF) Maslow's hierarchy of needs has a really important advantage. It focuses only on the positive characteristics, it focuses mainly on health and not on any illnesses.(Eysenck and Flanagan, 2000).
In conclusion there is a variety of knowledge available for nurses which is extremely helpful in their care setting. This knowledge helps care workers have an insight into why patients behave the way they do. It shows them that behaviour is also based on a person emotional state and their current situation. Maslow's hierarchy of needs is used in a variety of care settings. It would help care professionals understand how a patient is feeling and how they can help them. All this knowledge can make a care worker's job a bit easier and all the more
