    Model A and Operant Conditioning - Informational Reinforcement and Punishment

    Model A functional blocks have always been termed by Freudian and Jungian terminology, but these blocks can also be related to operant conditioning and the system of punishment and reinforcement as described within.

    In human beings, with a conscious developed mind which process information, information itself becomes a source of reinforcement and punishment for the individual, in addition to physical means of punishment and reinforcement.

    The four blocks of information are describe below:
    Ego Negative Reinforcement(Escape)
    Super-Ego Positive Punishment(Punishment)
    Super-ID Positive Reinforcement(Reinforcement)
    ID Negative Punishment(Penalty)





    When one thinks of the blocks as areas of informational reinforcement and punishment, one can see that for example when we act on our ID impulses and are penalized by the removal of Super-ID(Reinforcement) information and punished by Super-ego information(this is often thru social interaction or interaction with the world), the mind escapes to the Ego in contemplation. The ego devises the means of negotiating the world and formulating the means by which an individual communicates with the world and in turn receives new Super-ID information as Reinforcement. It is thru this back and forth that the entirety of a individuals Personality develops, weaknesses, strengths, sore spots, and sweet spots.

    In progress

    I have been working on this for a while and will write more about this as time permits, but I wanted to at least to give people a new way of thinking of the informational blocks within Model A, as in socionics it is not only the Ego that is important but the whole of a person's psyche.

      This shows you understand very little about the real system socionics intends to model.

      You should at least have the guts to let Gulenko review your work. Or maybe Boukalov's wife.

      Why them? Do they even want to? If they were to come on here and make a comment on hkkmr's article, I'm sure they'd be heard with great interest.

      I don't think any of the user generated content on this site is finished enough to present outside of this forum. As noted, this is in progress. The key to spreading the information is to give it rigorous editing, research and documentation process and gather that information into a suitable format for presentation.

      I agree with tcaud, this is obviously speculation and therefore belongs in the section for Socionics related hypotheses.

      Note this is under viewpoints in the CMS, hypothesis in the CMS is different than hypothesis on the forum.

      Hypothesis is actually a level of content of higher grade than Viewpoints and include as of now only outside content.

      Viewpoints is for user generated content that is socionics and model A oriented. Hypothesis Forum(not cms) is for anything that seeks to go outside of socionics like supersocion, model X/B etc.

      I've renamed the hypothesis forum to be Alternate Model and New Theories to clarify the confusion.

      Aligning socionics with another separate theory of psychology sounds like a hypothesis to me. Why split hairs? Don't want to rub shoulders with tcaud? It's where I post my theories on quadra progression, which are Model A based.

      Now it doesn't have to go there. That is the point, to highlight Model A developments for people interested in Model A. The article you wrote would fit into the viewpoints area and not alternate model/theory. Viewpoints is also hypothesis. This section didn't exist until I made the CMS and now exists in the forum as well.

      One of my goals with the forum is to promote Socionics and Model A by making the associating with other branches of psychology which I've investigated in order to make this study accessible to general psychology as a whole. I invite others to do so as well. You might not agree with that, but that is a direction that is being taken.
