Social Competence

Introduction

Welcome to the Social Competence module, where we delve into the knowledge, abilities, and attitudes crucial for establishing and maintaining social relationships. Social competence, viewed through specific objectives and needs, forms the foundation for realistic self-perception, social understanding, acceptance, and friendship. This module is geared towards strengthening the inclusive capacity of local communities to enhance the living conditions of those at risk of poverty or social exclusion. Join us as we explore the practical aspects of social competence, working towards building communities that are supportive, understanding, and inclusive.

Social competence “Social competence is the key to well-being in the community”

Social competence is knowledge, abilities and attitudes that make it possible to establish and maintain social relationships. It leads to a realistic perception of one’s own competence, and is a prerequisite for social understanding, social acceptance and friendship.

In this case, “Social competence” is defined from the point of view of objectives and their needs, not in a generic way.

With the aim of strengthening the inclusive capacity of the local community to improve the living conditions of people at risk of poverty or social exclusion.

ABC Functional Analysis Worksheet

Functional analysis explores the causes and effects of behaviour

Materials Required:

PC or pen and paper

Time Required:

30 minutes

Steps to Complete the Task:

A classic functional analysis method is the ABC technique. The ABC technique is designed to collect information about what factors lead to a specific problematic behaviour (antecedents) and what factors result (consequences) from that behaviour.

This ABC Functional Analysis worksheet includes 3 steps:

Step 1
In the column labelled Behaviour, the client writes down the problematic behaviour (or any behaviour he/she wishes to analyse).
Step 2
In the column labelled Antecedents, the client writes down the factors that preceded the identified behaviour.
Step 3
In the column labelled Consequences, the client writes down the outcome of the identified behaviour. Note, ‘Consequences’ need not all be negative; it may be the case that there emerge positive outcomes from the identified behaviour in addition to negative outcomes.

This worksheet helps to determine how adaptive (or destructive) particular behaviours are in working toward client goals.

Try for yourself:

A

Antecedents

What factors preceded the problematic behaviour?

B

Behaviour

What is the problematic behaviour?

C

Consequences

What was the outcome of the  problematic behaviour?
