Who would study psychology unless they had some issues?! Chapter 380 - 373 [Group Counseling] [Substitution Reinforce

Integrating knowledge points from case studies into real-life experiences is a further step in [cognitive integration].

In today’s group supervision, Nan Zhubin didn’t directly ntion Wang Rui’s incident.

Instead, he used various references and taphors to create indirect influence on the students.

Nan Zhubin’s original plan was to bring up Wang Rui’s issue after this segnt ended as the final harvest stage of this group counseling.

However, Lin Junkai brought it up earlier.

This—turned out even better!

Even Nan Zhubin couldn’t help but feel joyful at this mont.

In those regular group counseling sessions, no matter how carefully selected the mbers were, none were as outstanding as Lin Junkai today, none contributed as much to the group counseling as Lin Junkai!

Before him, Lin Junkai initiated the group discussion and directly jumped to the main topic.

"What Mr. Nan just ntioned about this experint, isn’t it quite similar to what Wang Rui used to make us do?"

"Wang Rui used to ignore our training, let us train extra, and used the guise of ’extra training’ to bully Pengcheng and the others—"

As he spoke, his eyes swept quickly around: "It’s just that so people really ca out stronger from the ’extra training,’ so they were no longer bullied, leaving only Pengcheng in the end."

Wherever Lin Junkai’s gaze landed, heads bowed down one after another.

"So wasn’t Pengcheng just a ’prisoner’ before? Including —yes, including and others, weren’t we all ’prison guards’ before?"

"There were even so who transford from ’prisoners’ into ’prison guards’.

"Wang Rui used to be the professor in that experint. She only let us train extra, only let us ’focus’ on Pengcheng, demanded we ’treat Pengcheng more strictly.’

"But in the end, the things we did to Pengcheng, weren’t they all our own ideas? It was a severe loss of control!"

Lin Junkai took a deep breath: "Moreover, didn’t we consider not listening to Wang Rui anymore amid all this? Yet we experienced many things similar to the ’15 dollars’ and the ’priest’ in the experint, leaving us increasingly confused, until we hardly knew what we were doing. Eventually—it turned into what it is now."

"Now when we look back, who would dare say the things they did weren’t excessive?"

"Having made mistakes in the past, we must acknowledge them. We are very lucky because we still have the chance to correct them."

Several students listened and suddenly felt suffocated.

They couldn’t help but turn to look at the place where the experint video was just screened.

The projector was off, the screen no longer shining, but the scenes seed to linger, forming contours instantly in the eyes of the students who turned back.

"This segnt is ant to let us imagine what kind of people we are, right? But now, we don’t need to imagine because we’ve already experienced it and know who we are."

Lin Junkai continued, "Based on this, we should all give ourselves a full score of [5]. We’ve all been thorough prison guards, and thorough prisoners."

"I initially considered and gave myself a score of 5."

On the paper clenched in Lin Junkai’s hand, the crossed-out [5] seed to leap off the page and move towards everyone’s face and eyes, enlarging continuously.

They couldn’t tell if they saw the incoming physical [5] or if the [5] in their hearts was reflected in their eyes.

"But—"

"This matter is already in the past." at this point, Lin Junkai’s voice softened a bit.

"I believe since it’s behind us, surely and necessarily we must harvest sothing from it. Especially after what happened to Pengcheng."

"I also don’t know how clear-minded I can remain facing such things again, but I hope to resist—so I crossed out the [5] and gave myself a [0] instead."

...

If the previous scoring by students was for the present self.

Then Lin Junkai’s current score and sharing include reflection on the past self, scrutiny of the present self, and expectations for the future self.

The thought process is quite complete.

Of course, there are also tiny issues within, like Lin Junkai’s language containing several words like ’must,’ jumping from one extre to another.

However, being able to grow to this extent through self-reflection is quite remarkable for a high school senior.

As ntioned before, psychological consultation is about dividing specific problems into multiple stages for gradual intervention.

And Lin Junkai’s current situation is equivalent to jumping through several previous stages, directly reaching the final step.

If stated a bit less rigorously, sotis reaching this level of growth allows the visitor to start considering leaving consultation.

It’s indeed not easy.

Concurrently, what Lin Junkai just said reverberated like a bell, striking beside each student’s ear.

The techniques of the [Behaviorism] school are widely used in the educational field, especially utilizing [reward] and [punishnt] for [reinforcent] is broadly applied.

In the developnt of [Behaviorism], psychologist Albert Bandura built upon the work of predecessors to propose [Social Learning Theory], and introduced [substitution reinforcent].

[Substitution reinforcent] ans that an individual adjusts their behavior tendency by observing the consequences (such as rewards or punishnts) of others’ actions, without having to directly experience those consequences.

Simply put, it’s about having a model.

Lin Junkai at this mont has truly beco a model.

As for what [reward] he received at this mont?

This outstanding student who voluntarily applied to attend police school, now emanates a spirit rejuvenated from gloom, which is the [reward] every student present most desires.

Following Lin Junkai, other students spoke in turn. They now seed to have found sothing aspirational, connecting more swiftly, and expressed themselves more fluently.

"I initially gave myself a score of [5], but just now also crossed it out and re-evaluated with a [3]." said the student sowhat embarrassedly, "I also think I need so growth. In Wang Coach... Wang Rui’s matter, I also helped Teacher Xiao Zhao make calls to the education bureau."

"But I’m not sure how much growth I can achieve, so I gave a score leaning towards the middle... not sure if that’s acceptable."

This case is extra growth on the basis of original growth, after being [substitution reinforced] by Lin Junkai.
