Metacognitive practice is a conceptualization of mindfulness coined by Ravi Kudesia and informed by metacognition and practice theory.

Sociological Theories

Wikipedia

This theory views peoples’ reactions to a stimulus as a response to the meaning they give the stimulus, rather than as a reaction to the stimulus itself. The meaning that is given to a stimulus is not random, but based on previous interactions with the stimulus and other people in society. 

stimulus --> invokes socially derived meaning --> invokes reaction

Symbolic Interactionism

This theory looks at how the institutions in a society cooperate to meet the needs of that society. 

Structural Functionalism 

This theory looks at how individuals within a society must compete to fulfill their needs. 

Conflict Theory

Social Theory creates predictions about future actions, activities, or situations. This method focuses on society and the social forces that affect our lives. This sociological insight or "sociological imagination" looks beyond the assumption that social structures and patterns are random, and attempts to provide more understanding and meaning to human existence. 

Social Theory
