Analysis of Psychological Theories in Health and Social Care

Thus, its application on the case could be well explained in context of Sam. For
instance, while prior to the theory, it was believed that there is a cognitive response
to reactions of people towards a certain perception, which was then followed by
physical responses. However, the approach of James-Lange suggested that
individual experience psychological responses, which drives emotions towards a
certain perception. This could be well seen in the case study, wherein, the
uncertainty of Brexit, along with approaching retirement developed negative
physiochemical responses within Sam, such as anxiety and aggression, which
further led to depression and isolation.
3.2. Analysis of How Psychological Theories Relate to behaviour Disturbances
As reflected within the case, there are several aspects, which reflect that
Sam has a very deteriorating behaviour, due to several external as well as internal
factors, which are affecting is health (Marinescu, 2018). However, analysis of
several theories could help in understanding behaviour disturbances within Sam.
Social Cognitive Theory: There are three variables that could be appropriately
discussed in context of understanding this theory appropriately. The very first
aspect is behavioural factors, which could help in understanding the reason for
behaviour disturbances in Sam. This aspect within a person is determined and
influenced by both environmental as well as personal factors. For instance, the
environment, as well as personal aspect drives the cognitive processes within an
individual. For example, the external environment around Sam, such as a
monotonous working routine and monthly targets, were external factors, which
were determinant of Sam's disturbing behaviour Furthermore, in terms of internal
processes, future uncertainty and Brexit, too related to the behavioural

3.1. Analysis of Application of Psychological Theories to individuals
Experiences Elevated Stress
As reflected in the case study, Sam is suffering from a very evident and
prominent level of stress, which is associated with his work life as well as the
social constraints around him, such as the likelihood of Brexit. Furthermore, this
is leading to a very anxious and aggressive behaviour within Sam, which is a
major cause of concern for his safety and soundness of his mindset. Furthermore,
Sam also has a problem in relation to alcohol addiction, which has quite a severe
effect on his physical and mental stability.
To understand this better, there are several theories, which could be
analysed as well as applied, in ways that helps in developing an appropriate
understanding of the same (De los Reyes-Aragon and et. al., 2016). One such
theory is Theory of Emotions, which was suggested by William James and Carl
Lange, which is developed on the notion, that emotion within an individual is
quite equivalent to range of psychological arousal caused by external events.
Environmental impacts within the same acts as a stimuli for people, which drives
their social behaviour towards the same.
