Q

Typical Internal-External Finding?

A

Internals tend to adjust outcome expectancies upward following success and downward following failure.

Externals tend to do the opposite: seem to commit the gambler’s fallacy; to assume they are due for good luck after they’ve had bad luck, vice versa.

Q

Fournier et al (2008):

A

Classified situations as (1) Agreeable-Dominant, (2) Agreeable-Submissive, (3) Quarrelsome-Dominant, and (4) Quarrelsome-Submissive.

Found that:

  1. Some Ss consistently more dominant across sits (evidence of traits).
  2. Some Ss were consistently dominant only in certain sits (evidence of behavioral signatures).

Mischelian “signatures” exist and must be understood (CAPS a good place to start)?

Q

Cantor and Norem’s two cognitive strategies in “risky” situations

A
  1. Strategic Optimism

2. Defensive Pessimism: increase in depression and stress

49
Q
  1. Strategic Optimism
A
  1. Successful students.
  2. Expect to do well.
  3. Work hard to succeed.
  4. Prefer not to think about how things might go wrong.
  5. Tend to self-protectively blame failure on mitigating circumstances.
50
Q

A
  1. Successful students.
  2. Set expectations low.
  3. Report a lot of anxiety.
  4. Utilize anxiety to motivate themselves.
  5. Think about how things might go wrong.
  6. Make sure they don’t.
  7. Don’t blame failure on mitigating circumstances.

Q

Norem and Cantor findings

A

If defensive pessimists’strategy interrupted by encouragement (distracted from negative thinking), performances suffered.

Opposite occurred for optimists (encouragement helped, negative thinking hurt).
