Maryland Beauty Academy Social Bonding Theory Personal Relationships Paper

 

To complete this make up assignment, you need to watch Tiger King, Episode 2 “The Cult of Personality.” It may be helpful to watch additional episodes in order to better address the prompt.


How might we utilize Social Bonding Theory to explain the following:

A. Doc Antle’s apprentice program

B. Joe Exotic’s staff and..”spouse situation”

C. Carole Baskins’ success with Big Cat Rescue (volunteers, which would include social media marketing


You need to utilize all 4 components of the bond in your explanation. Please note, in all of these cases, we are focusing not on these key characters (Doc Antle, Joe Exotic, or Carole Baskins), but the people around them (apprentices, staff/spouses, volunteers). Do you think Differential Association or Social Learning Theory would better explain the behavior we see? If so, which one and why? If not, why not?
