Assessment CYPOP30: Support the creativity of children and young people and understand how creativity promotes well being for children and young people
1.1 Explain evidence, approaches and theories about the benefits of creativity for the well-being of children and young people.
B.F.Skinner;
B.F. Skinner, born on March 20th 1904, was an American behavioural psychologist who carried who carried out many experiments based on how behaviour is shaped and that all humans will regurgitate the things they enjoy doing and avoid those they dislike. He understood that creative people will be rewarded positively in order for that person to take an interest in that particular activity and develop further. He based his theories on self-observation, causing him to support behaviourism, believing that people should be controlled through systematic rewards. Skinner discovered and advanced the “Rate of response” as a dependant variable psychological research. He was criticised as many scientists are, but was called both “evil and hateful” yet also “warm and enthusiastic.”
Skinner believed that all behaviour is taught and shaped, through the use of punishment and rewards. He disagreed that it was useful to create theories about mental states that were unable to be observed and were unscientific. He believed positive reinforcement, for example praise, strengthens behaviour and that negative reinforcement, for example punishment or the removal of something that will cause the bad behaviour to stop, or decrease the possibility of it happening again. Skinner experimented with animals such as rats and pigeons, giving them rewards when they pressed a lever which was the desired behaviour (positive reinforcement) and giving them an electric shock every time they went to an undesired area of the maze, which would cause the animal to avoid that area (negative reinforcement). Positive reinforcement must not be confused with bribery or punishment, for example telling a child they will
