The social-cognitive perspective is an approach in psychology that emphasizes the interaction between cognitive processes (such as thoughts and beliefs) and social factors in shaping human behavior. It focuses on how individuals interpret, understand, and respond to their environment based on their cognitive abilities.
This term describes the idea that human behavior is influenced by both personal factors (thoughts, emotions) and environmental factors (situations, stimuli), which interact with each other.
CBT is a therapeutic approach that combines techniques from cognitive and behavioral psychology to help individuals change their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors in order to improve their mental health.
