7.1 Flashcards
- An agentic perspective emerges in Bandura’s sociocognitive view of personality
- From the traditional behavioral viewpoint, the behavior is shaped by environmental pressures and principles of reinforcement
The Self based on the Human Agency Theory of Albert Bandura
Paradigm shift has 2 perspectives
Traditional perspective, New perspective
human behaviors are not merely controlled automatically and mechanically by environmental forces according to what perspective?
Traditional perspective
In traditional perspective, thus, causal influences on behavior do not simply go in ______, but people are more than ______ shaped by the environment (Engler, 2016)
one direction, reactive organisms
Humans are AGENTS OR ORIGINATORS OF EXPERIENCES, according to what perspective?
new perspective
according to new perspective, Humans are more than ______
reactive organisms
Through progress and fruition of experiences, human beings developed language and its symbolic ability to ____ , _____, and ____
comprehend, predict, alters course of events
Through ________, the human can create visualized futures that act on the present;
cognitive self-regulation
Through ________, humans can construct, evaluate, and modify the alternative course of action to secure valued outcome and override environmental influences (Bandura, 2006) (Bandura, 2006). The environmental influences are being superseded or taken over by the individuals cognitive self-regulation.
cognitive self-regulation
refers to human capability to influence one’s functioning and the course of its events in life (Engler B., 2016)
Human Agency
According to _____, Human Agency tends to search and tap other participating agents
Bratman
Collective endeavors require a commitment to a ______ and coordination of ________ to realize it. Effective group performance is also guided by_____(cited in Bandura, 2016).
shared intention, interdependent plans of actions, collective intentionality
Four Core Properties of Human Agency
- Intentionality (As planners)
- Forethought (As forethinkers and anticipators)
- Self-reactiveness (As Self-regulators)
- Self-reflectiveness (As self-examiners)
What core property of human agency is a representation of a future course of action (Bandura, 2001). It also enables people to behave purposefully (Engler, 2016)
Intentionality (As planners)
What core property of human agency also enables people to behave purposefully (Engler, 2016)
Intentionality (As planners)
What core property of human agency where behavior and response are being carried out purposefully because of intention
Intentionality (As planners)
Forethought anticipates ______ (Engler, 2016)
outcomes
It is the temporal extension of an agency, which includes more than future-directed plans.
Forethought (As forethinkers and anticipators)
According to forethought, A future cannot be a cause of current behavior because it has no material existence. But through ______, visualized futures are brought into the present as current guides and motivators of behavior.
Cognitive representation
In this form of anticipatory self guidance, behavior is governed by visualized goals and anticipated outcomes, rather than pulled by an unrealized future state. The ability to bring anticipated outcomes to bear on current activities promotes purposeful and foresight behavior. When projected over a long time course on matters of value, a forethought perspective provides direction, coherence, and meaning to one’s life (Bandura, 2006).
Forethought (As forethinkers and anticipators)
What core property of human agency allows us to motivate and regulate actions, behaving in ways that give us satisfaction, and avoiding behaviors that bring self-censure (Engler, 2016)
Self-reactiveness (As Self-regulators)
Our human agency are not only planners and forethinkers but are also _______. According to Searle (2003), once the person has adopted an intention and an action plan, the person does not simply sit back and wait for the appropriate performances to appear.
self-regulators
What core property of human agency where individuals have the ability to CONSTRUCT appropriate courses of action and to motivate and regulate its execution (Searle, 2003)
Self-reactiveness (As Self-regulators)
What core property of human agency gives the ability to reflect on thoughts and behaviors and make changes as needed (Engler, 2016)
Self-reflectiveness (As self-examiners)
It is a functional awareness on how to exercise our capability to introspect would also help us become more cognizant of our efficacy, the soundness of our thoughts and actions, the meaning of our quests, and corrective measures of our courses of actions. Further, the most distinctly human core property of agency is our metacognitive capability to reflect oneself and the adequacy of one’s thoughts and actions (Bandura, 2016).
Self-reflectiveness (As self-examiners)
through ______, we think and examine circumspectly the consequences of the choices that we make.
self-reflectiveness
- the most distinctly human core property of agency
Metacognition
to reflect oneself and the adequacy of one’s thoughts and actions (Bandura, 2016)
Metacognition
Bandura’s (1986) agentic perspective on human functioning in his social cognitive theory explains psychological functioning in terms of _________
triadic reciprocal causation
this system assumes that human action is a product of a reciprocal interplay of people, behavior and environment
triadic reciprocal causation
represents the person’s personal factors, including its gender, social position, size, and physical attractiveness, and cognitive factors like thought, memory, anticipation, planning, and judging
Person
These cognitive capacities are used to select or to restructure their environment that is to initially determine which environmental events people attend to, what value they place on these events, and how they organize these events for future use.
Person
Signifies behavior that normally responds to the any environmental stimuli but can be intervened by P factors especially our cognitive capacities.
Behaviour
Refers to the external environment, which highly influences behavior. On the other hand, E factors can also be intervened by some of our P factors. E factors may positively or negatively affect one’s P factors to some extent, especially if its cognitive capacity is not strong.
Environment
What are actions and decisions called
Behaviour
What are internal competencies, cognitive, emotional and physical called?
Person
What are external spaces, laws, and objects called?
Environment
Part of our Human Agency is being ______
Proactive
means people are not just onlooking hosts of subpersonal networks autonomously creating and regulating their performances
Proactive
- This implies that the self on being agentic becomes an agent of experiences, not just undergoers of experiences.
Proactive
It does not accept as the host of its environment’s condition but rather contributors to activities and environment (Bandura, 2006).
Proactive
what behaviors identify an anticipatory element involving acting in advance of a future situation
proactive behaviors
What behaviors are taking control and causing change of the situation
proactive behaviors
Henceforth, from the traditional sociocognitive viewpoint, Bandura the self is both ______ and ______
agentic and proactive
Is self-organizing, self-reflecting, and self-regulating
Self
Does not just reactive organism merely shaped by its environment
Self
Has the power to influence actions to produce certain results (Bandura, 199).
