Dina, a child in her first year of nursery school, refuses to share her toys with other children. She always grabs what she wants and screams and hits when something is taken away. She does not respond to the teacher's lessons about sharing.
 
  In three separate statements, describe what a psychoanalytic theorist, a behaviorist,
  and a cognitive theorist would say about Dina's behavior and how to remedy it.
 
  What will be an ideal response

Question 2

A person is confronted with an event that is out of the ordinary; for example, the betrayal by a friend, or the devastating effects of an earthquake, or an encounter with an extraterrestrial being.
 
  Describe the person's
  possible reaction to one of these experiences, using the terms from cognitive theory.
 
  What will be an ideal response

Answer to Question 1

Included in responses should be differentiation of the three schools of thought. Psychoanalytic
psychologists will stress underlying motivation, possible psychosexual explanations, and Dina's
psychosocial stage; behaviorists will concentrate on her specific behaviors and ways to reinforce
changes in it; cognitive psychologists will consider her thinking and her developmental stage.

Answer to Question 2

Answers should describe the person's original way(s) of thinking, the use of assimilation, or, more
likely, accommodation, to deal with the new experience that put the thinking into disequilibrium, and
the establishment of equilibrium after the change.
