Misunderstood Behaviors*
The Four Key Behavioral and Social Styles
The key in any relationship is to understand why people act and react the way they do towards each other. By understanding behavioral social styles and identifying which best describe yourself and those around you, you can create better communication and understanding between family, friends, co-workers and business associates. Although creating a productive and cohesive team is the goal in most business relationships, it is not always the easiest thing to accomplish. One reason companies send their management teams for training is so they can understand the different social behaviors so that they can help to create a better work environment for co-workers

The Four Different Social Styles:

The first is the analytical social style. The analytical type person likes to ask questions assertively while controlling his or her emotions. He or she will also tend to spend less time on communication and prefers to focus on the task at hand going through an informational or fact finding process rather than just getting the job done. As you watch and listen to the analytical you will discover they offer fewer words during their conversations and will often speak slowly. They also tend to show less body language, becoming silent when those who are more

This theory sees personality to be seen as having three different levels that linked to each other, these personality views are:
As a million dollars passes through your hands, Foster teaches us on how to hold onto the money we’ve earned. Many consider money to be a good thing, but when people start believing that quantity overrides quality, money can lead you to the wrong reasons. He’s gotten to know some of the most successful people in the world during his lifetime, and every single one of them started out learning what do with the money they’ve earned with a part-time job. “They also learned how tough it is to earn each and every dollar, so they were careful about how they spent their money. These successful people developed good spending habits when they were young that stayed with them throughout their careers,” (pg 22). In my future, I plan to get a job and save at least half of my
America is recognized as a place where if you work hard enough you can become wealthy. In fact, the U.S. has more millionaires than any other country in the world. However, for all that prosperity, the gap between rich and poor has always been large. People have been attempting to fix this inequality for over a century now. Andrew Carnegie, a Scottish immigrant who became the second richest man in America by dominating the steel industry, and Terence V. Powderly, an American attorney, labor union leader, politician, and best known as head of the Knights of Labor, were among the first to propose solutions. Carnegie’s idea, called “The Gospel of Wealth,”
In this class we’ve learned that both Behavior Theory and Cognitive Behavior Theory both help explain human behavior through an A-B-C model or method. What are the A-B-Cs of Cognitive Behavior Theory?
The book of “The Millionaire Next Door” is written by Thomas Stanley and William Danko, and it uses lots of case studies and statistic data to tell us how the actual millionaires live in the society and how can normal people become millionaires. The book shows a unique insight of millionaires and base on the authors’ research in last twenty years, thus the result is convincing. The authors try to tell us two things: wealth is what you accumulate but not what you spend; and there are some ways you can use to get wealth. For me, this book is interesting and useful.
Although Joshua is good at one to one social interactions, he tends to avoid group interactions. This causes him to not participate effectively in group activities at school. Not only are the social communication skills important in maximising participation in school activities, they are also an important part of one’s life. As Joshua progresses through high school and enters adolescence, social life will get more complex. Having the skills to interact effectively in group situations will enable Joshua to fully participate in all activities at school.
The authors place the millionaires interviewed for their research into three categories: prodigious accumulators of wealth (PAW), average accumulators of wealth (AAW), and under accumulators of wealth (UAW). To find which category to place each individual, they set out to determine expected net worth. This was computed by multiplying age times realized pretax annual household income from

What I mean by this is that usually when a group gets together, everyone is scraping the surface. Small talk is normal, but if you really want to build those relationships and get to know the people you’re around it helps to understand and be aware of the other person. If all a person cares about is themselves, other people won’t be as willing to be a good friend because they aren’t sure if the friendship is being reciprocated. By being sensitive to other peoples’ thoughts and feelings you build that trust and feeling of being cared
They allocate their time, energy, and money efficiently, in ways conducive to building wealth. Millionaires budget and also plan their investments. They begin earning and investing early in life. The authors note that “there is an inverse relationship between the time spent purchasing luxury items such as cars and clothes and the time spent planning one’s financial future”. In other words, the more time someone spends buying things
The book The Millionaire Next Door written by Thomas J. Stanley, Ph.D. and William D. Danko, Ph.D is a study about how people get wealthy and stay wealthy. They search deeper into what people really do hold wealth and those who pose as having wealth. The research conducted by these two gentlemen took place over a 20 year timeline and the goal of the research was to find out how ordinary people become wealthy and to disprove some of the many misconceptions held about millionaires. The authors came up with seven common characteristics about those who become wealthy. Out of those seven, three key traits can be seen which are; responsibility, hard work, and proper planning.

The factors of the Big Five are neuroticism, extraversion, openness, agreeableness and conscientiousness (Schultz, 2015, p. 231).
Another form of social influence is obedience. Obedience occurs when an individual acts in response to an order by a person in authority whether that order goes against what they know to be right or not. This can be done to gain acceptance or to avoid punishment. Obedience accounts for a large amount of the medication errors that happen in hospitals each day. An example of this is a nurse following a doctor’s order even when the doctor’s orders go against her professional obligations. This was demonstrated in an experiment conducted by C. Hofling. In Hofling’s experiment 22 nurses who worked at a hospital were contacted by a staff doctor that they did not know. They were told to give twice the highest dose of a drug to his patient. If the nurses did what they were told they would be going against three different rules. First, they were not to accept doctor’s orders over the phone. Second, the dose called for by the doctor was double the maximum for that drug. Third, the medication was not on their authorized list of medications. Of the 22 nurses 21
