Behavior Analysis of Ariel

Introduction

In this study, we try to explore the Psychological Behavior of Ariel (character of The Little Mermaid). These aspects include things like perception, motivation, emotion and attention towards a subject. The main focus of the research is on Psychosocial Theory and Bandura's Social Cognitive Theory and with reference to these theories we will analyze the behavior of the Little Mermaid.

Literature Review

The Little Mermaid was a story written by Hans Christian Andersen in 1989, after a huge research done on this creature (Ajzen, pp. 179-211).

This is a place where different kind of people lives in the sea. All kind of fishes, large and small, come and go between the branches like birds in the air. According to the research at the deepest point of the sea is the castle of the sea king, with walls of coral, amber nice windows, and roof shells that open and close for receiving water or rejecting it. Each of these closed shells of pearls brilliant the least of which would do honor to the crown of a queen

The body of the Mermaids despite living in the oceans comprises body of a bird and a woman's face. Therefore they do not have wings, but fins. Mermaids have great voice with sweetness and musicality and lavished in every song they sung. When boat reach near to them the sailors, enchanted by their sounds, when they could not run from them. These sailors were thrown into the sea to hear more hopelessly perishing. However, if a man hears their voice were found dead by the Mermaids in Hargie .

So it was with the Ariel, her behavior was always directed by these considerations. For example, she always believed in strong relationships and love between the partners, which was reflected through her behavior. Throughout the story, she has some normative beliefs and she has always control beliefs when conversing with her mates

The above graph explain the change of an individual's behavior i.e. behavior of the Ariel after meeting the Princes is characterized by changes in the action and how to behave. When looking at changing an individual' s behavior it is observed especially with the approach which it modifies its actions, looking at the steps it follows in order to reach its goal. It is to move from non-current behavior -desired to desired behavior

All the events and happenings helped us analyze that willingness to sacrifice is very important for a strong relationship. It is necessary that one compromise on things in order to be good partners. Without sacrifice and compromise things can not go in good direction.
