Based on the knowledge and conversations I have endured with my fellows colleagues, I believe that the perspective that has the most appropriate methods for gathering information about Michelle Bridge’s red team contestants is the socio-cultural perspective.

I found that socio-cultural perspective uses the best methods to gain knowledge from her contestants in order for the competition (training) to be effective for each competitor. This perspective is very helpful as you can identify their different cultural beliefs, social behaviours, and examine how each of her team members’ behaviour influences each other during team challenges. Michelle Bridges may also obtain data effectively by socialising with her team members in order to get to know their cultural and social characteristics. Data may easily be obtain by also seeing how her contestants behave with other contestants especially when they are out in public and going out to eat in front of each other.

Michelle Bridges, Biggest loser personal trainer of the Red Team, is seeking information about her team members.

Michelle can use behavioural psychology to gather and analyse different information about how her team memebers react to different situations. Michelle may gather this information by conducting a number of tests in which can help her gain a better insight about her team members.

The reason I have chosen this particular photograph of a rat is because mymost fam ous experiment was the “Little Albert” experiment where I had taken Pavlov’s research further to show that emotional reactions could be conditioned in people. Initially the little boy had shown no fear to the rat which is best represented by the colour of white for peace. Although Watson later would make loud noises every time after the child would come in contact with the rat. This procedure is best represented as the colour of black as it is like cloak masking the rat’s darkness and the fear that had inflicted on the little boy.

Behavioural perspectives of psychology focuses on learned observable behaviours. It is the behavioural approach to understanding motivation and drives both learned and unlearned, and with reasons.
