Who would study psychology if they didn't have some kind of problem?

Chapter 377 [Group Counseling]: [Viagra Reinforcement]

Applying the knowledge points from case studies to real-life experiences represents a further step in cognitive integration.

During today's group supervision, Nan Zhuren did not directly mention Wang Rui's incident.

Instead, they use various references and metaphors to subtly influence students.

Nan Zhuren originally planned to bring up Wang Rui's matter in a more serious way after this part was over, as the final harvesting part of this group counseling session.

But I didn't expect that Lin Junkai would do it ahead of schedule.

That's even better!
Even Nan Zhuren couldn't help but feel joy at this moment.

In those regular group counseling sessions, even the most carefully selected members are not as outstanding as Lin Junkai today, nor are they as helpful to the group counseling as Lin Junkai!

Right now, Lin Junkai immediately used his ultimate skill after initiating the team fight.

"Isn't what Teacher Nan just described in the experiment very similar to what Wang Rui asked us to do before?"

"Wang Rui didn't care about our training back then, making us do extra training on our own, and even letting us use 'extra training' as an excuse to bully Pengcheng and the others—"

As he spoke, he quickly scanned his surroundings with his eyes: "It's just that some people really did 'practice extra' and got it, so they weren't bullied anymore, and in the end, only Pengcheng was left."

Where Lin Junkai's gaze swept across, everyone lowered their heads.

"So Pengcheng was a 'prisoner' before? Including me—yes, including everyone else, weren't we all 'prison guards' before?"

“Some of them even went from being ‘prisoners’ to ‘prison guards’.”

“Wang Rui used to be the professor in that experiment. She only made us practice more, only made us ‘pay attention’ to Pengcheng, and told us to treat Pengcheng ‘stricter’.”

"And weren't all the things we did to Pengcheng in the end just things we came up with ourselves? It was an extremely serious loss of control!"

Lin Junkai took a deep breath: "And in the middle, didn't we also think about not listening to Wang Rui anymore? But we also had a lot of things happen like the '$15' and 'priest' in the experiment, which made us more and more confused, to the point that we didn't even know what we were doing anymore. In the end—it became what it is now."

"Now that we look back, who can say that what they did wasn't excessive?"

“If we made mistakes in the past, we should admit them. We are all lucky because we still have the opportunity to correct them.”

Several students, listening to this, suddenly felt breathless.

They couldn't help but turn back to look at the spot where the experimental video had just been shown.

The projector was off, and the screen was no longer lit, but the image on it seemed to linger, its outline appearing briefly in the eyes of the students who turned around.

"This part is supposed to be about imagining what kind of person we are, right? But we don't need to think about it anymore, because we've already experienced it and we already know what kind of person we are."

Lin Junkai said, "If we were to score based on this, each of us would have to give a perfect score of 5. We've all been prison guards and prisoners."

"That's what I was thinking too, so I initially gave myself a score of 5."

On the paper held in Lin Junkai's hand, the crossed-out "5" seemed to jump out of the paper and move closer to everyone's face and eyes, constantly enlarging.

They didn't know if their eyes saw the [5] of Lin Junkai rushing towards them, or if the [5] in their hearts was reflected in their eyes. "But—"

"This matter is over." Lin Junkai's voice lowered as he said this.

"I feel that now that the matter is over, I must have learned something from it, especially after what happened to Pengcheng."

“I don’t know how much I can stay clear-headed if I encounter something like this again, but I hope I can fight back—so I’ve marked off the 5 points and given myself 0 points.”

……

If the previous student evaluations were directed at myself now, then...

Lin Junkai's score and sharing at this moment include reflection on his past self, examination of his present self, and expectations for his future self.

The thought process is quite complete.

Of course, there are still some minor issues, such as the fact that Lin Junkai's language contains a few words like "must," which is like jumping from one extreme to another.

But to have grown to this level through self-reflection is quite an achievement for a senior high school student.

As mentioned before, psychological counseling involves intervention in multiple stages based on the specific problem.

Lin Junkai's current situation is equivalent to skipping several previous stages and going straight to the final step.

To put it less precisely, once a client achieves this level of growth, they may sometimes start to consider leaving counseling altogether.

It was really not easy.

At the same time, Lin Junkai's words seemed to have turned into a resounding bell, striking the ears of every student.

The techniques of the behaviorist school are widely used in education, with the use of rewards and punishments to achieve reinforcement being particularly prevalent.

In the development of behaviorism, psychologist Albert Bandura built upon the work of his predecessors and proposed social learning theory, as well as the concept of vicarious reinforcement.

Vicarious reinforcement refers to the process by which an individual adjusts their own behavioral tendencies by observing the consequences of others' behavior (such as rewards or punishments), without having to directly experience those consequences.

Simply put, they are role models.

Lin Junkai has truly become a role model at this moment.

As for what "reward" he received at this moment?
The top student who aspired to attend police academy was radiating an energy and spirit that seemed to have shaken off the gloom, which was the reward that all the students present longed for most.

Following Lin Junkai, the other students spoke in turn. This time, they seemed to have found some direction they aspired to, connecting with each other more quickly and expressing themselves more fluently.

“I initially gave myself a score of 5, but now I’ve crossed them all out and given myself a score of 3.” The student said this somewhat embarrassedly. “I also feel that I need to grow. In the matter of Coach Wang… Wang Rui, I also helped call the Education Bureau with Teacher Zhao.”

"But I'm not sure how much I can improve, so I gave myself a score that's more of a middle one... I don't know if that's okay."

This is because, on top of what had already been developed, Lin Junkai "replaced and strengthened" it, resulting in an extra period of growth.
