Integrative Literature Review
Psychology is a branch of knowledge that deals with the study of the human mind and how it behaves when exposed to different conditions. The presence psychology has enabled the study of the human minds which has led to the discovery of various conditions that may affect individuals. Different perspectives have been presented in psychology. An example of this perspective is that the behavioral change in different people. Therefore, this paper will identify the major factors that contribute to the change in behavior in different individuals.
Behavioral change is an instance whereby individuals experience a change in how they carry themselves (Magidson & Roberts, 2014). In most cases, behavioral change occurs in the opposite direction whereby individuals start behaving in a way that seems strange. The change in behavior can be dangerous because it can affect an individual badly as well as other people that he or she interacts within certain situations. Since the change in behavior can affect people in bad ways, there is a need to identify the main factors that can result in behavioral changes. When these factors that cause a change in behavior are identified, it will be easy to develop solutions to these issues. These solutions will ensure that the problem is solved and that harmful effects cannot be felt on an individual or his or her colleagues. The chosen literature will support this perspective because it will help to identify the major factors that result in a change of behavior among various people. The behavioral perspective is important in the field of psychology because behavior is one of the issues that change due to some changes in the mind (Grimmelikhuijsen, Jilke, & Olsen 2017). Therefore, the literature review will help to identify the factors that a person can experience which might affect the human mind leading to changed behavior.
In psychology, different content domains have been developed, and they are used to explain different issues. One of the content domains in psychology is cognitive psychology. The content domain is used to explain different processes that take place in the mind, and it can be implemented in this literature (Neisser 2014). This domain will explain these changes and how they can result in changes that can alter the behavior of a person. The second content domain that can be used in this case is clinical psychology. Clinical psychology explains the methods that can be employed to deal with different psychological issues. The clinical psychology can be used in this instance to provide a solution to these problems that people are facing (Carr 2015). The main psychological concept that can be used in this literature is the behavioral theory. The behavioral theory is used to explain how the behavior of an individual can change and the factors that result involved. The major implications that were experienced in this study is that there is a large number of areas that could be researched and it affected the choice of the perspective because the one which affected people frequently was selected.
Concluding, there are various issues that can contribute to a change in behavior among different individuals. Most of these issues result from different experiences that an individual might go through. It is important to identify these factors and their causes to develop a solution that will reduce them. This perspective was selected because many people are faced with a situation that results in the change of their behaviors. The change in behavior can be explained using clinical psychology as well as cognitive psychology. The theory that can be used for this perspective is the behavioral theory which explains how the behavior of individual changes.
