What is social work theory?

The theory of social work is as follows:

1. Maslow's hierarchy of needs theory, also known as the "basic hierarchy of needs theory", is one of the theories of behavioral science. Maslow put it forward in 1943 "Theory of Human Motivation".

There are five kinds of needs, which increase from low to high like a ladder, namely: physiological needs, security needs, emotional and belonging needs, respect needs and self-realization needs.

There are also two needs: the demand for knowledge and the demand for aesthetics. These two needs are not included in his level of needs, and he thinks they should be between respecting needs and self-realization needs. The value and application of hierarchy of needs theory are also discussed. Second, social learning theory

Bandura believes that it is to explore the influence of individual cognitive, behavioral and environmental factors and their interaction on human behavior. According to Bandura, previous learning theorists generally ignored the restrictive effect of social variables on human behavior.

They usually use physical methods to experiment with animals and build their own theoretical system, which does not seem to be scientifically convincing for studying the behavior of people living in society. Because people always live in certain social conditions, Bandura advocates studying people's behavior in natural social situations rather than in the laboratory.

Third, Shu Ci's interpersonal needs theory

Social psychologist Shu Ci put forward a three-dimensional theory of interpersonal needs. Shu Ci believes that every individual has three basic needs in the process of interpersonal communication, namely, the need for tolerance, the need for domination and the need for emotion. These three basic interpersonal needs determine the behavior that individuals take in interpersonal communication, and how to describe, explain and predict the behavior of others.

The formation of the three basic needs is closely related to the individual's early growth experience. The need for inclusion means that individuals want to get in touch with people, communicate with people and belong to a certain group. The need to establish and maintain a satisfactory relationship with others.
