parents, teachers and other adults, and also be able to relate well with their peers. However, in some cases the prosocial behavior is lacking in some children and such individuals may develop Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD) (Gichovi & Karume, 2014). ODD is distinct from the more severe Conduct Disorder. It distinguished from typical childhood misbehavior in that the problem behaviors do not diminish with age (Gichovi & Karume, 2014). DSM 5 has classified ODD symptoms into three; namely, angry/ irritable

there is suppression on responding, operant behavior may be susceptible to relapse as changing contexts (Bouton, Todd, Vurbic, & Winterbauer, 2011). Lapse and relapse effects evidence that extinguished responding returns if the context is changed after extinction (Bouton, Winterbauer, & Todd, 2012). Specifically, following extinction in context B, the relation learned in context A (CS results in US or response results in reinforcement) will not control behavior if in context B. However, following extinction

Review of the Empirical Evidence of Behaviour Transtheoretical Model Transtheoretical Model (TTM) is a stage-based model that provides a conceptual basis that can be used to develop interventions to help people with addiction issues, such as smoking, to change their unhealthy behaviour (Prochaska, DiClemente, & Norcross, 1992). According to Prochaska et al (1992), the use of ‘stage of membership,’ as well as ‘stage of change,’ helps categorize the subject’s level of readiness to make a successful

At the school I currently work at as an assistant teacher we have a student who is new to our school. She moved from California to New York over the summer.

Prosocial behavior and altruism are two topics that are being studied within social psy- chology to try to understand the motivation behind humans to help those in need. Researchers have made various theories of why some people are more willing to help humans in need than other people and why people choose to help victims when they do. These theories do a great deal of explaining why exactly prosocial behavior and altruism occur when they do with regard to genetics, culture, and many other factors
