Q

Decision Science - Bounded Rationality

A

By Simon - says people don’t have the processing power to calculate EUT
Simon - choose the satisfiscing choice
Tversky - elimination by aspects
Heuritisc (Chairmen) - use a rule of thumb

Q

Information Processing Strategies

A

Heuristic vs. Systematic

Heuristic - uses rule of thumb, sub-conscious, little effort, satisfactory, more likely to be wrong

Systematic - analytical slow, more stable values, more likely to be happy with choice

20
Q

Components of information to change behaviour

A

Information component
Motivational component
Skills component

21
Q

Theory of planned behaviour

A

Beliefs, evaluations motivation, control and perceived power –> leads to attitude subjective norms and perceived behavioural control –> leads to behavioural intention
Ajzen & madden

22
Q

Absoloute Poverty

A

Consistent across all countries. UN 7 indicators are:
Dirty water, lack of sanitation, lack of shelter, poor nutrition/insufficient calories, lack of essential medical and maternity care, no access to education, information deprivation

23
Q

Relative poverty

A

Relation to a measure in the country a person lives

  • has less than 60% of national median income
  • deep poverty = less than 40% of national median income
24
Q

Social class and Health

A

NS-SEC is a way to split occupation into social classification (Goldthorp)
Higher social class = longer life expectancy
Social gradient occurs between the classes
Lowest classes all have higher numbers of fatal accidents
Life expectancy rising for all but a slowest rate in the lowest social classes!

25
Q

Explanations for social inequalities & health

A

1) Health selection - healthy rise up the social gradient and the ‘unhealthy sink’. Shown through discrimination (solve with equality act, social model of disability etc.)9
2) Individual and behavioural - people in lower SEC have more unhealthy ways
3) Materialist - uneven distribution of resources
4) Psychosocial - social inequalities cause psychosocial consequences
5) Life course - accumulation of disadvantages before birth affects health throughout life!

26
Q

Whitehall studies of occupational social class

A

Shows evidence of the ‘social gradient’
Lower social status linked to poorer physical and mental health
Marmot Status Syndrome - psychological mechanisms assosciated with social status differentiation!

27
Q

What does it mean to be ill?

A

It is more than not being well, variation in physiological and emotional state!
A person needs to recognise their symptoms before they act on illness - and people need to authenticate these symptoms before they act

28
Q

Symptom perception is affected by:

A

Attention, societal mores (e.g. stereotypes that men get heart attacks), mood, experience

29
Q

Sick Roll

A

Parsons - society gives people a sick roll when they have identified them as ill –> then has expectations as to how they should act
Kasl & Cobb - describes the activities that people take when they feel ill!

30
Q

Common Sense Model of Illness

A

Stage 1 - Illness Representation (cognitive), identifying the cause, timeline, consequence

Sage 2 - Coping –> problem focused of emotion focused
Period of dysphonia (less than 2 weeks) is a short term coping mechanism!

31
Q

Self - Regulation Model of illness

A

Leventhal - 3 stages
Stage 1 - illness representation
Stage 2 - coping behaviours
Stage 3 - appraisal of coping behaviours!

32
Q

Components of emotion

A 
Subjective expereince
Internal bodily responses
Thought/action tendencies
Cognitive appraisal
Facial expressions!
Emotions are reactive and short lives, moods diffuse and persistent
33

Emotional States

A

Ekman & Friesen
Argue there are 6 primary emotions distinctive by facial expression, other emotions are just blends of these

34
Q

Holman - shows the higher the level of the spinal injury the lesser the change in emotionality of the experience
Loser peripheral sensation for emotion hence reducing intention

35
Q

Edman Physiologically differentiating Emotion

A

Anger - high heart rate, high temp
Fear/Sad - high heart rate, low temp
Happy, disgust, surprise - low heart rate

36
Q

Theories of emotion

A

Pattern Theory (sange) - encounter –> physiological arousal –> experience emotion
Cognitive theory Schacter & Singer) - encounter –> physiological arousal –> cognitive appraisal of arousal –> experience the emotion!
Appraisal Theories –> Encounter + the appraisal –> experience of emotion!

37
Q

Regulation of emotion

A

Brain systems and neurotransmitters!

Amygdala and emotion processing! - specialised and protective, used for rapid info processing!
