There are many different theoretical perspectives of human behavior. These perspectives influence the way you relate to others, conceptualize the development of maladaptive and adaptive behaviors, and interpret your worldview.

Tasks:

Using your textbook, the Argosy University online library resources, and the Internet, explore these concepts and complete the following tasks:

• Analyze and compare and contrast two theoretical orientations that attempt to explain human behavior.
• Develop a detailed case vignette that addresses multidimensional aspects of human behavior (i.e., maladaptive and adaptive beliefs, recent role transitions, support networks, and familial and cultural contexts). You can use the cases included in the reading material or course room as guides.
• Apply one of the two theoretical orientations you chose for your case to explain the individual’s behavior.
• Be sure to consider all dimensions of human behavior (psychological, social, biological, and spiritual) and synthesize in your paper how they fit within your theoretical framework.
