ARISE Psychological Models
ARISE Psychological Models:

ARISE life-skills programs are based on three psychological models:

• Social Learning Theory and Self-Efficacy Training
• Cognitive Behavioral Model
• Information Processing Model

Social Learning Theory and Self-Efficacy Training (Albert Bandura)

This model stresses learning through imitation and developing self-efficacy. Self-efficacy is belief in one’s own ability to succeed. The ARISE program helps high risk youth develop appropriate social behaviors and belief in their ability to succeed in school, at home, and in the community. The youngsters develop and "I can" rather than "I can’t" perspective.

Cognitive Behavioral Model (Donald Meichenbaum)

ARISE uses a process to teach at-risk youth how to regulate and monitor their behavior by telling themselves what to do, asking themselves questions, and evaluating themselves. They learn how to verbalize and think through problems they encounter with other individuals in school, at home, and in the community.

Information Processing Model (Robert Sternberg)

The ARISE program also teaches disadvantaged children how to be better problem solvers by understanding the situation before acting. They learn how to make good choices and stick by them. Additionally, they learn how to avoid bad situations and think about consequences.
