In the movie "The Breakfast Club," the character of the jock, Andrew, displays elements of Piaget's theory of cognitive development, particularly in terms of his shifting perspectives and growing awareness of others' experiences. Through interactions with his fellow detention mates, Andrew demonstrates movement towards Piaget's formal operational stage by challenging his own beliefs and considering different viewpoints. This suggests a cognitive shift towards more abstract thinking and empathy.

What is modeling in cognitive-behavioral therapy?

To answer your question in a very watered down fashion, the cognitive behavioural model is that your cognitions influence behaviour and vice versa. Someone who is afraid of embarressment (cognition, a thought, a belief, a feeling, a point of view) will avoid going to clubs (behaviour) because they are afraid of embarressment. The avoidance is the behaviour that has resulted from the cognition/thought that he/she will be embarressed or say something stupid if they go to a club. This is an example of how cognition influences behaviour Because this person has avoided social places like clubs and parties (behaviour), he/she doesnt experience any embarressment or anxiety- they learn (cognition) that avoiding parties is the best way to go and they continue to avoid parties- thus this is an example of how behaviour affects cognition. Therapy makes use of this Cognitive behavioural model. For someone with social phobia, the therapist may instruct them to face their fears (exposure therapy) by going to a party or club (a behaviour). The idea is, once the patient enters the club, and stays inside the club, their anxiety will eventually decrease as they discover that they are not embarressing, they arent the centre of attention. Thus, through their behavior of going to the club and facing their fears, this will cause them to change their beliefs and thoughts (cognitions)- ie the person now learns that social situations are not always going to lead to embarressment and they do not appear foolish. Try looking up cognitive behavioural therapy, because that type of therapy is based on the cognitive behavioural model (developed by Beck and Skinner and many others).


How does birth order affect the psychological development of children?

For as many books as there are supporting the idea of birth order's impact on development (of which psychoanalysts are large proponents of), research tends to support the idea that birth order has no real affect.However, the strongest case for "birth order" is the idea of the "niche."Many psychologists believe that people try to fit into predetermined "niches" in a family: the athletic one, the artistic one, the intelligent one, the rebel, etc. When one niche is taken by a child, the subsequent child will take an alternative niche. This is why when the oldest child takes the "smart, athletic" niche, the youngest child will often take the rebel. The foundation of this idea is that each "niche" becomes a part of that person's "identity" - which is ultimately the goal of our long, childhood search.Different "niches" are favored in different families. A family full of football stars will probably favor athletic niches, and therefore these will be taken first. A family full of scientists will be more likely to favor academic pursuits, and so their children will fill each of these niches first.Of course, the theory of the niche isn't always correct, and although logical, there is not a lot of scientific evidence backing the theory. Many times, multiple siblings will hold the same niche, or the oldest sibling will take the path of the "rebel" - or a family full of football stars will have a son who is the leader of the chess club. :-)
