Social Learning Theory claims that people learn from one another by observation, imitation, and modeling. Social Learning Theory has often been called a bridge between behaviorist and cognitive learning theories because it encompasses attention, memory, and motivation. Social Learning Theory correlates to Transpersonal Theory because Social learning theory can be passed down to our kids, different beliefs in spiritual or cultural beliefs like Transpersonal Theory. For example if a family uses prayer as a healing belief in their culture or family than it is very likely it will be passed down generation to generation. This is Social Learning where we learn from one another and the family unit is the first to make an impression on our lives. When parents raise their children in a certain atmosphere than it is likely this will repeat in generations. Transpersonal theory is a belief in a higher power and a lot of time it comes from what we learned from our parents growing up regarding to religion and belief.

Post a brief description of the theory you selected.
The theory that most interest me throughout this class was the Erik Erikson theory of psychosocial development, the life span approach. Erik Erickson believed that if a person lacked a need during their development stages, it is highly likely that they would have difficulties in their adulthood. “According to Erikson, each stage of development is characterized by a crisis in which the ego assists the individual in attaining a balance in a “series of alternative basic attitudes,” such as trust vs. mistrust” (Robbins, Chatterjee, & Canda, 2012, pg. 214). Furthermore, Erik Erickson also believed that “the crisis in each stage is marked by a conflict between two opposing personality traits or basic attitudes, one of which is ego “syntonic” and the other, ego “dystonic.” (Robbins, Chatterjee, & Canda, 2012, pg. 214). The stages presented under this theory helped me understand how the client parents plays a major role in the client developing into a productive and healthy adult life, or not.
Then, explain any correlations you might draw between the theory examined here and the theory you selected for your final project.
Cognitive behavioral theory (CBT) was the theory I choose for my final project. “CBT focuses on addressing and alleviating symptoms of mental health conditions through both cognitive and behavioral techniques. The theory, that symptoms can be improved by changing the way a person thinks and acts, is now widely used and accepted by mental health practitioners” (Taylor, 2011, pg. 1). Erik Erikson psychosocial theory of development correlates with cognitive behavioral theory because the client can receive Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as a treatment method to help the client change the way they may think about certain situations due to what type of crisis may have taking place through their development process. An individual that may have trust issues, have negative thoughts about intimate relationships and/or them succeeding in adulthood can be reconditioned to change the way that they are thinking to help the person obtain a successful relationship and think positive about reaching a career goals, etc. and succeeding in life.

I think Transpersonal theory was the theory that best interest me in all the theories I have learned this quarter. Religion and the belief in a higher power are a cultural ritual of almost all ethical, race and religious groups. Almost every culture or race of people believe in something of a higher power, spiritually, morally something that goes beyond our skin, something that is internal. Many people live their lives by their beliefs which is a part of their religion, and spiritual beliefs of what happens to them after death. As children we are raised to believe what our parents believe in regards to spiritual religion. Religion is one that is embedded in our lives as part of who we are. My Transpersonal project paper in week ten prompted my to research an area of Transpersonal theory that I never thought about. That was out of body experiences and the belief some people have in encounters of UFO's. I did not really consider that this would be a part of Transpersonal theory but it is because it is a belief of a higher power.
At the beginning of the quarter I chose meso which would work well with Transpersonal theory because you are working directly with individuals, families, and groups. Working with individuals and families on the meso level may introduce you into that families spiritual beliefs and what that family believes as regards to a higher power.

In this 11 weeks I have learned about a lot of different theories. I learned that I use many theories without even knowing I was. Social learning theory is a theory that I learned a lot from. I think it most used in my daily work. This theory I see in my clients and has a great impact with my clients. In week one, I chose micro theory and I can see the correlation between micro and social learning theory. Both theories have equal value to my career and with the clients I work with. The clients are work with our children, victims and families. The theory has great appeal to be because the children learn from their parents and the cycle continues generation after generation. Determining motivations in people's life can give you good insight to why and how they do things. With this insight, you can be better to assist your clients obtain their goals. The knowledge I have learned in this course has value in my future education and my career.

Greetings to you Dr. Rejent and my dear colleague it has been a pleasure learning with you the past ten weeks and as we begin the eleventh and final week I would like to start by saying be blessed and best of luck as we continue toward the end of our graduate school journey. We are ending with a wonderful topic as I must say it was my faith that has keep me through this college experience, being an older adult, working full-time, long nights of studying and other life expectations, it has not always been easy. Proud to say that we are just a few steps closer. Enjoy your break and hope to learn with you again. ROLL TIDE
Religion and spirituality are important social and psychological factors in the lives of older adults (Blazer, & Palmore, 1976). For most of the elderly in the US, religion has a major role in their life, with about half attending religious services at least weekly. The elderly’s level of religious participation is greater than that in any other age group. For the elderly, the religious community is the largest source of social support outside of the family, and involvement in religious organizations is the most common type of voluntary social activity. Many elderly people report that religion is the most important factor enabling them to cope with physical health problems and life stresses (e.g, declining financial resources, and the loss of a spouse or partner). In the elderly, active involvement in a religious community correlates with better maintained physical functioning and health. Religious beliefs and practices often foster the development of community and broad social support networks. Some social psychologists have suggested that religion helps soothe fear and insecurity about one’s own mortality (Vail et al., 2009), especially when religion offers immortality. Because aging tends to amplify these concerns, the thinking goes, religion becomes more important to people as they get older. The sociologist Christopher G. Ellison discusses how religious participation benefits older adults by (a) reducing the risk of acute and chronic stressors, such as marital problems or deviant behavior; (b) offering institutional or cognitive frameworks, such as a sense of order, meaning, or coherence, that serve to buffer the harmful effects of stress and lead to successful coping; (c) providing tangible social resources, such as religious fellowship and congregational networks; and (d) enhancing personal psychological resources, such as feelings of worthiness.
An effective intervention is meditation. Meditation, is a physiological state of reduced metabolic activity that elicits physical and mental relaxation, and is reported to enhance psychological balance and emotional stability. Meditation produces the sense of calm, limited thought and attention. Meditation is widely used as an alternative therapy for physical ailments. For me personally, I was raised in the church and the expectation was that you must attend services each and every Sunday. I truly believe in God. I also believe that God as well as religion has different meaning for everyone. My faith is based on my own personally experiences, what I have observed in life and my many years of reading the scriptures and listening to the teachings of my church. I personally believe in his existence and that you are able to cope with life better with some sense of spirituality. In summary, I do believe that religion is a key feature and salient force for good in the lives of older adults. Religious activity is common throughout the life course, and increasingly engaged in by older people. Attendance at worship services and the practice of prayer are especially representative expressions of religiousness. References

Addressing spirituality with anyone is important and should be a part of every assessment, as it could produce an additional resource for natural supports. With the elderly population it is important to determine whether there is an identified faith for the the client (or not) because it could drive the interventions should the client feel a decline. There are clients who will reach out to a pastor or congregation peer before calling a provider for support. Knowing this about our clients and encouraging this practice is integral to positively reinforcing natural supports and independence. This will assist the client in reporting during sessions that they utilized a positive natural support.
The Spiritual Well-Being Scale could be a tool used to determine spiritual quality of life for the client (Ellison, 2006). The scale is self administered and consists of twenty questions (Ellison, 2006). It has been reported that the elderly patients in an intensive care or critical care unit are more vulnerable to symptoms of anxiety and depression (Elham, Hedayati, Hazrati, Maryam, Momennasab, Marzieh, Sareh and Keshavarzi, 2015). Using a combination of the Spiritual Well-Being Scale, the Spielberger State-Trait Anxiety Inventory and a demographic questionnaire both before and after a need-based spiritual/religious intervention showed that there was a significant increase in spiritual well-being among the elderly patients (Elham, et., al., 2015).
To my own personal thoughts about spirituality, I am ambivalent. I have no religious preference. I was raised Catholic and since becoming an adult have come to resent organized religion. That is not to say that I cannot respect others views and belief systems. On the contrary, if a client reports a strong spiritual and/or religious belief, I will support them and learn about their particular practice in order to provide the best care possible. If it makes sense to utilize a spiritual or religious intervention to better the outcome for a client who is in distress, I would have no problem making that work.
