Lecture ( ). Bandura Flashcards
Theory of Bandura
Social Cognitive Theory
New behaviors are acquired through two major kinds of learning:
observational and enactive learning
facilitated by observing appropriate activities, properly coding these events for representation in memory, actually performing the behavior and being sufficiently motivated
observational learning
allows people to acquire new patterns of complex behavior through direct experience by thinking about and evaluating the consequences of their behaviors.
enactive learning
Bandura’s theory suggests that humans are flexible and capable of learning a multitude of attitudes, skills, and behavior and that most parts of those are a product of ___ or ___ ____ (___).
vicarious or indirect experiences (Plasticity)
core of observational learning
modeling
processes governing observational learning:
- Attention
- Representation
- Behavioral reproduction and motivation
A system which assumes that human action is a result of an interaction among three variables
Triadic Reciprocal Causation
A system which assumes that human action is a result of an interaction among three variables:
environment, behavior, and person
cognitive factors in Triadic Reciprocal Causation :
- memory
- anticipation
- planning
- judging
partially determines which environmental events people attend to, what value they place on these events and how they organize these events for future use.
cognition
He hypothesized that “people evoke different reactions from their social environment by their ___ ____
physical characteristics
essence of humanness
human agency
4 core factors
- intentionality
- forethought
- self-reactiveness
- self-reflectiveness
a proactive commitment to turn intentions into actions
intentionality
to set goals and anticipate likely outcomes of actions and select behaviors that will produce such outcomes and enables people to break free from environmental constraints
forethought
process of motivating and regulating one’s own actions and involves monitoring the progress toward fulfilling those choices
self-reactiveness
examiners of their own functionality and has the ability to think about and evaluate own motivations, values and life goals
self-reflectiveness
people’s beliefs in their capability to exercise some measure of control over their own functions and environment
self-efficacy
people’s confidence that they have the ability to perform certain behaviors
efficacy
one’s prediction of the likely consequences of that behavior
outcome expectancy
involves indirect control over those social conditions that affect everyday living
proxy agency
People’s shared beliefs in their collective power to produce desired results
collective efficacy
2 concepts of self-regulation; high self-efficacy
- moral agency
- Justification The Morality of One’s Actions
Nonmaleficence and Beneficence
moral agency
External factors of moral agency
- a standard for evaluating our own behavior
- providing the means for reinforcement
4 in Justification The Morality of One’s Actions
- Redefining the nature of behavior
- Distorting the consequences of behavior being denial of one’s own actions to avoid and ignore the consequences.
- Dehumanizing the victims
- Displacing responsibility
3 dysfunctional behaviors
- depression
- phobias
- aggression
Resulting in chronic misery, feeling of worthlessness and lack of purposefulness
depression
Fears that are strong enough and pervasive to have severe debilitating effects on one’s daily life
acquired through observation of others, direct experiences with positive and negative reinforcements, training or instruction and bizarre beliefs
aggression
