Information- processing Theory of Social Problem Solving (Ken Dodge) | -emphasizes the crucial role of cognitive processes in social behavior -use of aggression as a problem solving strategy -highly aggressive children seem to process social info differently |
highly aggressive children have a hostile attributional bias | -expect that others are hostile or have hostile motives towards them -become a self-fullfilling prophecy -choose aggressive responses -may be linked to peer rejection and/or parental abuse |
structural dynamics of events that will or will not provoke aggressive behavior | 1. encoding of cues 2. interpret the cues 3. goal clarification 4. response search 5. response evaluation 6. enactment |
encoding of cues | search for (attend to) and register environmental cues of the event |
interpret the cues | infer other's motives |
goal clarification | formulate a goal in the situation -to retaliate or not |
response search | generate possible response -what to do? |
response evaluation | likely response consequences -which is best approach? (cost-benefit analysis) |
enactment | act on the chosen response -behave aggressively or not |
Carol Dweck's Theory of Self- Attributions and Achievement Motivation | -emphasizes self attributions in academic achievement -2 key socio-emotional orientations >children with entity/helpless orientation >children with incremental/mastery orientation |
Entity/helpless orientation | Attribute success and failure to enduring aspects of the self and tend to give up in the face of failure -tend to base their sense of self-worth on the degree of approval they receive from others -avoid situations where they may fail |
Incremental/mastery orientation | attribute success and failure to the amount of effort expended -persist in the face of failure |
