Critical Analysis of Different Implementations of a Broader Theoretical Approach Student’s Name University Institutional Professor’s Name Course Name and Code Due Date

Introduction • A theoretical framework is based on the idea that human beings are social animals, and influenced by the people around them • People are constantly learning new ways of behaving through observation and imitation • This theory shows how important individuals are exposed to the types of behaviors they wish to learn so that they can imitate them

Be a Friend Intervention • The intervention I observed was a school-based, peer-led program called "Be a Friend," which trained children to recognize signs of behavioral problems in their peers, and then intervene to help them. https:// www.youtube.com/watch?v=BnX_MLwmt-s • The program was developed by a group of psychologists at Yale University who wanted to provide an alternative to traditional discipline methods that focus on punishment rather than teaching kids how to improve their behavior • The interventionist was the principal at the elementary school where the program occur • The structure of the intervention was fairly simple and then discussed what they learned from each one

Theoretical Framework for Intervention Approach • Bandura's Social Learning Theory, Albert Bandura's theory that children learn how to behave by observing others around them (Chang & Dean, 2022). • Social Cognitive Theory, Albert Bandura's theory that people develop skills through practice • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Albert Bandura's theory that new behaviors can be learned through practice • “Be a Friend” is supported by Bandura's (1977) social learning theory, which states that all forms of behavior are learned through observational learning

Strengths • Based on the idea that children are more likely to engage in positive behaviors if they feel connected with their classmates, teachers, and other adults (Bandura & Walters, 1977) • Provides an opportunity for children to practice empathy and compassion towards others who might be struggling with issues like depression or anxiety

Weaknesses • There isn't much evidence yet on how effective this training actually is at preventing bullying or improving relationships between students. • The intervention it requires a lot of time from teachers who may already be stretched thin by larger classroom sizes or other responsibilities like after-school tutoring programs (Rumjaun & Narod, 2020)

Conclusion • A few key similarities and differences that I observed across videos of the intervention "Be a Friend" were that they all involved a group of children sitting in a circle, talking about what they had learned from the previous week. • I think that this intervention is most effective at teaching students who are already motivated to change their behavior. • I think it's less effective at teaching students who aren't motivated to change their behavior in the first place. • I would improve this intervention approach by making sure that every student has some kind of incentive for behaving well.
