Social Learning Theories Flashcards
emerges in Bandura’s socio-cognitive view of personality. Whereas earlier learning theories primarily depended on principles of reinforcement to account for how human behavior is developed or changed
agentic perspective
which enables us to behave purposefully
Intentionality
which permits us to anticipate outcomes
Forethought
which allows us to motivate and regulate actions, behaving in ways that give us satisfaction and avoiding behaviors that bring self-censure
self-reactiveness
which gives us the ability to reflect on our thoughts and behavior and make changes as need
self-reflectiveness
the regulation of human behavior by the interplay of behavioral, personal, and environmental factors.
triadic reciprocal causation
the three types of factors operate as “in__g d___s” of one another.
interlocking determinants
most human behavior is learned through observation and modeling; occurs either intentionally or accidentally. In many cases, the behavior that is being learned is exactly the same as the modeled activity
observational learning
mimicking the model
imitation
matching the structure or style of the behavior
modeling
Albert Bandura’s theory is called?
Theory of Observational Learning
Bandura’s Theory of Observational Learning rests on experimental analysis of the influence of m__g on b___r
modeling on behavior
THREE FACTORS THAT INFLUENCE MODELING
- Characteristics of the model
- Attributes of the observer
- Reward consequences associated with a behavior
- Characteristics of the model
- The nature of the activity
- The nature of the subject
Attentional process
- Verbal
- Imaginal
Retention process
- Acquisition
- Performance
Motivational process
Another process of observational learning
Motor production process
What are the processes of observational learning?
- Attentional processes
- Retention process
- Motor production process
- Motivational process
is arbitrary or socially arranged rather than the natural outcome of the behavior
Extrinsic reinforcement
is naturally related to behavior
Intrinsic behavior
occurs when we learn appropriate behavior from the successes and mistakes of others
Vicarious reinforcement
increases performance primarily through its motivational function
Self reinforcement
Bandura believes that human behavior, particularly in the adult, is motivated by the continual practice of s__f-r___n, or influencing one’s own behavior
self-regulation
entails paying attention to one’s behavior
self-monitoring
entails evaluating one’s behavior
self-judgement
governs subsequent courses of action
Affective self-reaction
It is a central mechanism of personal agency and self regulation, that which refers to people’s belief that the can successfully perform behaviors that will produce desired effects.
Self-efficacy
a therapeutic technique of behavior modification, he developed strategies designed to help people improved their sense of self-efficacy and encourages use of sophisticated new technology and social media to modify behavior.
modeling
extent to which a person believes that reinforcements are controlled by his or her own behavior or by people or outside forces such as luck or fate
locus of control
an assessment tool that measures an individual’s perception of control
I-E Scale
assume that their own behaviors and actions are responsible for the consequences that happen to them
I= internally controlled individuals
believes that control is out of their hand
E= externally controlled individuals
Our perception of where the seat of power over our lives is located
Locus of control
we feel that we’re in charge of ourselves and our circumstances
Internal locus of control
We picture that a force outside of ourselves controls our fate
External locus of control
appears to protect one against unquestioning submission to authority
Internal locus of control
are more likely to conform and prefer not to have to make a choice
External locus of control
can be measured and related in a specific formula that enables us to predict a person’s behavior in any given situation through self-reports and behavioral observation
Four variables
response behavior will occur in a given situation
Behavior potential
broadly to refer to a wide class of responses that includes overt movements, verbal expressions, cognitive, and emotional reactions
behavior
refers to individuals’ subjective expectations about the outcome of their behavior. It is an estimation of the probability that a particular reinforcement will occur if one behaves in a certain way in a given situation
Expectancy
refers to the importance or preference of a particular reinforcement for an individual
Reinforcement value
refers to the psychological context in which the individual responds. It is the situation as defined from the perspective of the person. Any given situation has different meanings for different individual, and these meanings affect the response
Psychological situation
a function of reinforcement value + expectance
behavioral potential
how important the reinforcer is to you
reinforcement value
determined by locus of control
expectancy
means that an individual’s behavior is influenced by the specific situation
Behavioral specificity
patterns that form distinctive behavioral signatures of personality
If-Then-Situation-Behavior
The theory considers both the stability of personality and the variability of behaviors across situations
CAPS
A view of Mischel and Shoda, that refers to a stable system that mediates the selection, construction, and processing of social information that generates social behavior
Personality
