So, what did you learn about social exchange and behavioral theories from your reading?
What are your assumptions about them from your reading or past experience?
![Page 5: SSS 571 Human Behavior & the Social Environment November 8, 2010 Lynn Mayer, MSW, PhD.](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110402/56649e415503460f94b33097/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Reviewing, what is theory?an interrelated set of conceptsthat are based on observationsthe relationship between concepts is
expressed as hypotheses These concepts and hypotheses are tested or
testableand are intended to explain or predict
phenomena.

QUESTION 1: What are the major premises of Behavioral Theory?We are what we do.We learn what we do (overt and covert
behavior) through respondent (classical) conditioning, operant conditioning, and modeling
Behavior is maintained by antecedent and consequential conditions
To change what we are, we must change what we do by modifying the maintaining conditions

QUESTION 3: Who are the social workers building on this early thinking?
Eileen GambrillBruce Thyer
![Page 18: SSS 571 Human Behavior & the Social Environment November 8, 2010 Lynn Mayer, MSW, PhD.](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110402/56649e415503460f94b33097/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Eileen Gambrill
“Behavioral practice involves an empirical approach to personal and social problems in which the selection of assessment and intervention methods is based whenever possible on related research.”
![Page 19: SSS 571 Human Behavior & the Social Environment November 8, 2010 Lynn Mayer, MSW, PhD.](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110402/56649e415503460f94b33097/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Bruce Thyer“...It is a mistake to conclude that behavioral
social work practice requires any lesser degree of clinical skill and acumen or complexity of conceptualization than other approaches to practice.”
![Page 20: SSS 571 Human Behavior & the Social Environment November 8, 2010 Lynn Mayer, MSW, PhD.](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110402/56649e415503460f94b33097/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
QUESTION 4: How does behavioral theory understand “problems”?Problems are behaviors that are maladaptive
for a personProblem behaviors include those that are
overt and observable to others or covert and not observable (thoughts, feelings, physiological responses)
Problem behaviors include those that are respondent (reflexive) or operant (voluntary)
Like all behaviors (we do have adaptive ones), they were learned in the past but maintained in the present by antecedents and/or consequences
![Page 21: SSS 571 Human Behavior & the Social Environment November 8, 2010 Lynn Mayer, MSW, PhD.](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110402/56649e415503460f94b33097/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Pop Quiz: Question 1Bruce Thyer would say, “This is an angry
client.”

Pop Quiz: Question 2Eileen Gambrill would say, “This client’s anger
is easily and often stimulated.”
TrueFalse
![Page 23: SSS 571 Human Behavior & the Social Environment November 8, 2010 Lynn Mayer, MSW, PhD.](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110402/56649e415503460f94b33097/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Respondent (Reflex) Behavior:Involuntary responses, driven by the central
nervous system (not the skeletal muscles), dependent on the stimuli that precede them
Respondent behavior is dependent upon antecedent stimulus changes in the environment
Respondent behavior itself is not learned; it is an automatic reflex elicited by a natural stimulus, but it can be conditioned to a neutral stimulus

QUESTION 5: How did problems come to be?Problem behaviors, like all behaviors are
learned in the pastBut they are maintained in the present by
maintaining conditionsSome behaviors are maintained by
antecedent conditions (under stimulus control)
Others are maintained by consequential conditions
![Page 27: SSS 571 Human Behavior & the Social Environment November 8, 2010 Lynn Mayer, MSW, PhD.](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110402/56649e415503460f94b33097/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Maintaining AntecedentsMother tries to strengthen daughter’s getting
ready for school by providing reinforcing praise, but if Mom ceases to cajole, yell, prompt, the behavior doesn’t happen
Anxiety is triggered by the presence of a dominating authority figure
A child successfully learns to read, because she has the prerequisite knowledge, skill, and resources (setting conditions)
![Page 28: SSS 571 Human Behavior & the Social Environment November 8, 2010 Lynn Mayer, MSW, PhD.](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110402/56649e415503460f94b33097/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Maintaining ConsequencesGood work performance is strengthened by a
monetary bonusAspirin-taking becomes more probable if the
headache goes away Child’s shouting out in class continues
despite teacher’s lecturing, yelling, chastising (the ubiquitous negative attention!)
![Page 29: SSS 571 Human Behavior & the Social Environment November 8, 2010 Lynn Mayer, MSW, PhD.](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110402/56649e415503460f94b33097/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
We learn behaviors in 3 waysWe learn respondent behavior through
respondent conditioningWe learn operant behavior through operant
conditioning(We also learn through modeling)
![Page 30: SSS 571 Human Behavior & the Social Environment November 8, 2010 Lynn Mayer, MSW, PhD.](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110402/56649e415503460f94b33097/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Learning through Respondent (Classical) ConditioningRussian physiologist Ivan Pavlov found:A dog that involuntarily salivates upon
presentation of natural stimulus – meat - learns (or is conditioned) to salivate when presented with a neutral stimulus – a bell – through repeated pairing of the bell with the presentation of the meat.
By repeatedly pairing a neutral stimulus with a natural, the neutral stimulus will come to elicit the same response; thus, it becomes a conditioned stimulus
![Page 31: SSS 571 Human Behavior & the Social Environment November 8, 2010 Lynn Mayer, MSW, PhD.](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110402/56649e415503460f94b33097/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Why should social workers care?Affective responses (e.g. fear or anger) are
respondent behaviors that can become conditioned to neutral stimuli

![Page 32: SSS 571 Human Behavior & the Social Environment November 8, 2010 Lynn Mayer, MSW, PhD.](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110402/56649e415503460f94b33097/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Learning through Operant ConditioningB.F. Skinner observed that the rate of
animal behavior may be increased or decreased by altering the consequences
Successive approximation: random behavior approximating a desired operant behavior is reinforced; later, behaviors that are successively closer approximations of the desired behavior are systematically reinforced, shaping the desired behavior.
![Page 33: SSS 571 Human Behavior & the Social Environment November 8, 2010 Lynn Mayer, MSW, PhD.](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110402/56649e415503460f94b33097/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
QUESTION 6: How do problems go away on their own?
Through respondent extinctionThrough operant extinctionIf there are unpleasant consequences for the behavior (punishment or cost)
By learning a competing adaptive behavior
![Page 34: SSS 571 Human Behavior & the Social Environment November 8, 2010 Lynn Mayer, MSW, PhD.](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110402/56649e415503460f94b33097/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Respondent ExtinctionWhat is respondent extinction?Conditioned stimulus that has maintained
maladaptive respondent behavior loses its power to elicit the problematic response
Example: Woman with a bridge phobia keeps forcing herself to drive over bridges with no ill effect and gradually the anxiety lessens.
But what if she can’t bring herself to do this?
![Page 35: SSS 571 Human Behavior & the Social Environment November 8, 2010 Lynn Mayer, MSW, PhD.](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110402/56649e415503460f94b33097/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Operant ExtinctionWhat is operant extinction?Maladaptive operant behavior that was
previously maintained by reinforcing consequences is no longer reinforced
Example: Child’s shouting out in class (rather than raising her hand) has been consistently attended to by the teacher (reinforced), albeit by chastising, is then ignored by the teacher and the shouting out weakens
Is this a sufficient solution?
![Page 36: SSS 571 Human Behavior & the Social Environment November 8, 2010 Lynn Mayer, MSW, PhD.](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110402/56649e415503460f94b33097/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Unpleasant consequences: punishment or response cost suppression
What is response cost and punishment?Operant behavior, previously maintained by
antecedents or reinforcing consequences, is now followed by something unpleasant
Example: Dangerous or risky driving lessens after a serious accident
Is this a sufficient solution?
![Page 37: SSS 571 Human Behavior & the Social Environment November 8, 2010 Lynn Mayer, MSW, PhD.](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110402/56649e415503460f94b33097/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Learning a competing adaptive behaviorWhat is Differential Reinforcement of OtherAn adaptive behavior that competes with the
maladaptive one is (differentially) reinforced while the maladaptive one is ignored
Example: the teacher praises the child when she raises her hand and ignores shouting out
![Page 38: SSS 571 Human Behavior & the Social Environment November 8, 2010 Lynn Mayer, MSW, PhD.](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110402/56649e415503460f94b33097/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)

Social Exchange Theories - WHOEmerson’s Exchange Network
There is a set of either individual or collective actors.
Valued resources are distributed among the actors.There is a set of exchange opportunities among all
the actors in the network.Some exchange opportunities have developed into
actually used exchange relations.Exchange relations are connected to one another in
a single network structure.

ApplicationCase C: Two Agencies Competing for Same Grant
A large county agency has had the grant to provide Head Start (HS) services. They have been the only grantee in the area for years. A different, smaller agency unexpectedly gets the grant to provide a new service, Early Head Start (EHS), in the same geographic area. This agency has never gotten a HS grant before. The large agency is not funded to provide EHS services.

ApplicationCase C continued…
So… the small agency will serve the babies and the large agency will serve the preschoolers. As the small agency is writing their start up plan, they are told by the federal office to consult with the large agency for help. When they call, the large agency won’t help.

ApplicationHow would exchange theory define this problem?How do the exchange theory concepts apply?Which of Homan’s propositions do you think is
influencing the behavior of the small agency? Of the large agency? Why?
The small agency needs something from the large agency. Using Blau, what do you think the small agency will do to get it?
Who has the power in this situation? What kind?What would a social worker do in this situation
using this theory?

Many Ways of Knowing “There are many truths and many ways of
knowing. Each discovery contributes to our knowledge, and each way of knowing deepens our understanding and adds another dimension to our view of the world…we must not turn our backs on any opportunities to enhance our knowledge…the boundaries of our profession are wide and deep…no one way of knowing can explore this vast and varied territory.”
