23
Q

Social Cognitive Theory (Bandura, 1977, 1989)

A

Person -(a)-> Behavior -(b)-> Outcome
Cognitive processes:
(a) - self-efficacy expectations
(b) - outcome expectations
Behavioral processes:
(a) - (reciprocal effects - both ways) behavioral initiation and maintenance
(b) - (one way - outcome exp –>) behavioral initiation and maintenance

Self-efficacy
- Participant modeling:

- Attribution:
A
  • Participant modeling:
    direct experiences –> choice (approach vs. avoid)
  • Live modeling:
    indirect experiences –> effort & persistence
  • Suggestion:
    verbal persuasion –> thinking & decision making
  • Attribution:
    emotional arousal –> emotional reactions (anxiety, stress)

Self-Determination Theory (Deci & Ryan, 1985; 2000)
Level 1 (x3 categories)
Level 2 (x6 categories, in 2 subgroups)

Level 1:

  • Amotivation
  • Extrinsic motivation
  • Intrinsic motivation

Level 2:

  • Non-regulation
  • External regulation (Controlled motivation)
  • Introjected regulation (Controlled motivation)
  • Identified regulation (Autonomous motivation)
  • Integrated regulation (Autonomous motivation)
  • Intrinsic regulation (Autonomous motivation)
Level 3:
- Impersonal
- External
- Somewhat external
- Somewhat internal
- Internal
- Internal
(Internalization & Integration)
29
Q

Self-Determination Theory (Deci & Ryan, 1985; 2000)

- Basic Psychosocial Needs -

A
  • Relatedness
  • Competence
  • Autonomy
30
Q

Health Action Process Approach (Schwarzer, 1992)

A
  • Preintenders
  • Intenders
  • Actors
31
Q

Health Action Process Approach (Schwarzer, 1992)

…3 steps (2 incl. a+b) leading to disengagement

A
  1. Intention
    (task self-efficacy, outcome expectancies, risk perception, “barriers & resources”: social support)

2a. Action planning
(task self-efficacy, maintenance self-efficacy)
2b. Coping planning
(“barriers & resources”: social support)

  1. Action control
    (maintenance self-efficacy, recovery self-efficacy, “barriers & resources”: social support)

= Disengagement

32
Q

Dual Process Theories:
Type 1 process (xxx)
Type 2 process (xxx)

A

Type 1 process (intuitive)

Type 2 process (reflective)

33
Q

Dual process theory:
Type 1 process (intuitive)
Type 2 process (reflective)

A
  1. Does not requier working memory
    - autonomous -
  2. Does requier working memory
    - cognitive decoupling; mental stimulation -
34
Q

Dual process theory:
Type 1 process - 9 things
Type 2 process - 10 things

A
Type 1 process (intuitive)
fast
high capacity
parrallel
nonconscious
bias responses
contextualized
automatic
experience-based decision making
independent of cognitive ability
Type 2 process (reflective)
slow
limited capacity
serial
conscious
normative responses
abstract
controlled
rule-based
consequential decision making
correlated with cognitive ability
35
Q

Dual process theory:
Type 1 process –> old mind
Type 2 process –> new mind

A
Old mind:
- Evolved early
- Similar to animal cognition
- Implicit knowledge
- Basic emotions
New mind:
- Evolved late
- Distinctively human
- Explicit knowledge
- Complax emotions
36
Q

Reflective Impulsive Model
Strack & Deutsch (2004)
—> two systems: engaged/disengaged

A
  • Both systems operate in parallel.
  • The impulsive system = engaged.
  • The reflective system = disengaged –> high amount of cognitive
    capacity.

“Conflicts may arise if behavioral schemata are activated that are incompatible and inhibit one another […] The resolution
of the conflict depends on the strength of the activation for each schema”

37
Q
Reflective Impulsive Model, Strack & Deutsch (2004)
Impulsive system (AAIUU) vs. Reflective system (ECCR)
A

Impulsive system:
> Implicit, uncontrolled, unconscious, automatic, associative
> habits
> impulses

Reflective system:
> Explicit, controlled, concscious, reasoned
> Knowledge, facts, values
> intentions

38
Q

Two systems: which one wins?
“The resolution of the conflict depends on the strength of the
activation for each schema” (Strack & Deutsch, 2004)
(6 subcategories)

A
  • Cognitive Capacity/ working memory
  • Self-control
  • Impulsivity
  • Alcohol
  • Emotions
  • Habit Strength (highlighted)
39
Q

What is Habits?
How does Habits develop?
Once something is a Habit…

A

= Mental association between cue and goaldirected response.

= Develops when repeatedly performing a
specific behavior in a stable situation.

…No intention or planning is required.

40
Q

Why are Habits beneficial?
> efficient?
> easy?

A

> Efficient: I can use my attention
+ resources for other things

> Easy: I Don’t have to think about it or make difficult decisions

41
Q

Why can habits be bad?

A
  • Automatic activation
    » difficult to change
  • Despite having strong intentions!
  • Even if intentions change&raquo_space; no effect on the strength
    + automatic nature of the cue-response association
