After
discussing the issue with my colleagues from social-cultural, behavioural and
cognitive perspectives of psychology I have found that the social-cultural
perspective would be best to gather information about the contestants. The
nature of the competition is very much based on communication and social
interaction between contestants and trainers. Their progress relies on the
support of their trainers therefore the trainers must form a trusting
relationship with the team members. After doing this they can gather important
information about their beliefs and culture to truly help them on their
journey.
I
also think that the cognitive perspective of psychology would help in gathering
information through quizzes and surveys. It would help Michelle Bridges to see
how they think and the way they solve problems. It would show their cognitive
strengths and she could use this data to her advantage to help her win.
Biological
and behavioural will not be as effective in collecting data unless one of the
contestants have a neurological condition or if a certain learned behaviour
greatly affects their progress.
