Please answer some or all. Thanks
1. Drive vs. incentive theories: Drive theory is more about fulfilling a need with a primary reinforcer whereas Incentive theory is more about fulfilling a need with a secondary reinforcer, correct? Does this mean that while drive theory is about reducing homeostatic disturbances, incentive theory is NOT about homeostatic disturbances?
2. Bem's self-perception theory vs. Mead's social behaviorism vs. Cooley's looking-glass self
Bem's theory is about you looking at your own behavior and judging yourself/your attitudes; Mead's theory is about the I (like the "hidden observer" or the back-stage self) looking upon how the society (the generalized other) judges/forms attitudes about the Me...and then the I reacts to those; and Cooley is similar to Mead but you look at how the specific primary and secondary groups judge/form attitudes about you and developing a self-concept out of it. Correct?
3. What other psychotic disorders are there other than schizophrenia? Does positive symptoms relate only to schizophrenia (since bipolar manic episodes also have several similar symptoms)?
4. Does behaviorism not take into account anything other than empirically observable behavior? (I read somewhere that Skinner still concedes that there is some genetic/biological factors at play)
5. Which brain regions regulate temperament? I thought it would be the limbic system since both are tied to emotion, but EK disagrees.
6. In a memory test, you see a clear primacy or recency effect; couldn’t you account for primacy with proactive interference and recency with retroactive interference?
7. Political vs. organizational changes
Passing a law is a political change, but NOT an organizational change. Organizational changes have to be within a specific group. A law affecting an organization is also NOT an organizational change. But the response of organization in abiding the law would be an organizational change. Correct?
8. Mead vs. Goffman
What’s the diference between Mead’s “I” and Goffman’s back-stage self? What’s the difference between Mead’s “Me” and Goffman’s front-stage self?
9. Operant conditioning
Say a boss does a fixed ratio schedule (to reinforce # of telephone calls) in an advertising business for one week; this is followed by a variable ratio for the next week. What would the # telephone calls vs. time look like? I was thinking it would increase at accelerated pace during week 1; then in week 2, it would still keep increasing at a decelerating pace till stabilizing a bit. What do you think?
