- Behavioural Approach to Abnormality
- Classical Conditioning
- Learning by association
- E.g An Arguments = Fear Arguments + Food = Fear Food = Fear
- Support - Little albert, white rat, fear can be learned
- Operant Conditioning
- Learning by reinforcement
- Person is complimented on weight loss
- Reinforced by losing weight - get too thin - people worry/ attention- reinforced more weight loss
- SLT
- Learning from others
- Expect same rewards if they copy behaviour (VR)
- E.g.Thin celebs have fame, money, attractive partner, vulnerable girls copy to get same rewards
- More AN in western culture where media emphasises on being thin
- Biological Reductionist - Done on rats may not have the same anatomy, much more simple
- Reductionist - presumes everything is learnt, neglects other approaches
- Classical Conditioning
