Sample text
Cognitive theory Individuals spontaneously interpret their present social situation by means of what Beck called “automatic thoughts”. Cognitive theory of social behaviour and personality maintains that the “spontaneous interpretation of the situation” plays “a central role in eliciting and shaping an individual’s emotional and behavioral response to a situation” (Pretzer & Beck, 1996, p. 45). We respond to the immediate situation by invoking an emotional state and employing a certain type of interpersonal behaviour.
Drives function in concert with “reaction tendencies” (habits) to determine overt behaviour. Brown (1953) ascribed guided and directed aspects of behaviour to “reaction tendencies” and to the directive function (responseeliciting function) of stimulus cues. “Reaction tendencies” refer to the capacities of stimulus cues to elicit specific reactions. A drive engages one or another “potentiality” for behaving in specific ways in the presence of given stimuli. In other words, a drive activates one or more “reaction tendencies” (habits); but it cannot in itself determine behaviour.
What the organism acquires in this manner is a set of habits or “modes of responding to complex stimulus situations composed of both external and internal elements” (Brown, 1953). Drive stimulus The situation to which an organism responds can be regarded as a composite of external and internal discriminable stimuli, which would be consistent with the notion that emotional feeling (if it represents an internal discriminable stimulus) is but an abstract aspect of the situation to which the organism responds.
