Bandura’s Perspective
View people as a agents of their own experiences
Triadic Reciprocal
Bandura:
- The regulation of human behavior by the interplay of behavioral, cognitive and environmental factors
Personal (cog, affective, biological) - Environmental- Behavioral determinants
How do people learn according to Bandura
- Learn through observation (by following a model) rather than conditioning
- they don’t learn just by experiencing rewards
- Imitation(mimicking) & modeling (matching structure or style)
- Models inform us of possible consequences
Bobo doll
Bandura
- Showed how a child will model behavior done by adults
Disinhibition- behaviors a person suppresses or inhibits may be performed more readily with the influence of a model
The most important reinforcer (Bandura)
The Self
Self-Regulation (Bandura)
occurs through self-monitoring, self-judgment and affective self reaction
- People regulate their own behavior by setting standards of conduct for themselves and responding to their own actions in self-rewarding or punishing ways.
Bandura talks about the perils off..
Violence on television
Moral Disengagement (possible short answer)
Tv violence (Bandura)
- MD permits individuals and institutions to perpetuate and encourage violence and inhuman activities while justifying their behaviors.
- In the self-regulatory process, moral sanctions can be activated or disengaged, - support destructive behaviors by reducing pro-social feeling and by encouraging cognitive and emotional reactions that favor aggression
self-efficacy (Bandura)
Central to Banduras theory
- Belief that we can successfully perform behaviors that will produce desired effects
- arises from past accomplishments
- efficacy influences areas such as : family functioning, prosocial behavior, academic confidence and success, vocational choices and health
- Collective self-efficacy: occurs when a group believes in the groups ability to perform behaviors that will produce desired effects
-Central to personal agency and self-regulation
lacking self-efficacy
- may develop avoidance patterns
- people who lack essential efficacy also may become depressed
Psychotherapy and Self-efficacy
- Behavioral modification: modeling as an aid of changing behavior
- People who behave dysfunctionally have poor sense of self-efficacy- avoid situations- give up easily- do not have corrective experiences
- Therapeutics strategies are designed to help patients improve their perception over their own effectiveness through guided mastery experiences
- Interventions work by increasing efficacy expectations and thus leading people to believe that they can cope with the difficult situations that threatened them before
- Cultivating self-efficacy is important to the therapeutic process
Locus of control vs Self-efficacy
Locus of control (Julian Rotter)
- Belief that reinforcments are controlled either by one’s own behavior or outside forces
- Self-efficacy refers to the belief that one is able to perform certain actions; Locus of control -anticipate whether one’s actions will influence outcomes I-E Scale measures individual’s perception of control
(I) - internally controlled individuals: assumes ones owns actions are responsible for the consequences that happen to them
(E) - Externally controlled individuals believe that control is out of their hands
Believed that extreme locus of control in either direction was unhealthy and balance is healthy
Cognitive-affective personality system (CAPS)
(Walter Mischel - Marshmallow studies)
- Personality is stable system that mediates selection, construction and processing of information that generated social behavior
