Description

Please read the following questions carefully, and respond in a 2-3 page, academically-focused essay:

1. Discuss Skinner’s philosophy of science as it applies to the study of human behavior.
2. Distinguish negative reinforcement from both positive reinforcement and punishment.
3. Discuss Bandura’s concept of collective efficacy.
4. List and describe the components of Bandura’s theory of self-regulation.

Your essay should provide straight-forward and clearly written answers to the questions using headings to organize your responses. In order to complete successfully this assignment, you are expected to use academic definitions of principles, theories and concepts of your textbook quoting it a minimum of five times. Do not hesitate to use as many textbook concepts as necessary. Also, make sure that you provide original examples that are well thought out. In fact, you are encouraged to use concepts of your textbook, but you are also expected to always avoid pulling examples from it. You can use TV series, films, fiction stories or anecdotes in order to canvas your own examples.

In order for your work to be acceptable for grading, you must include citations, avoid using quotations of the textbook, and fully respond to each question. Partial answers will be given partial credit! Format your essay in APA style, including a front page and a references page. Be sure to site any complementary sources (peer reviewed articles, scholarly websites, academic books) you use. The title page and references page do not count towards the page requirement.
