Bandura: Social Cognitive theory
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Social cognitive theory | Approach to personality that holds how we react to an event, usually more powerful then said event, studies cognitive factors, mediate between, event and behavior |
| plasticity | flexibility of humans to learn a variety of behaviors in diverse situations |
| Tridaic reciprocal causation model | (Bandura's) assumption that personality is molded by an interaction of behavior, personal factors, one's environment |
| Chance encounter | unintended meetings of persons unfamiliar to each other |
| Fortuitous events | environmental events that are unexpected and unintended |
| agentic perspective | view that humans have capacity to exercise control over nature, quality of their lives |
| Self- efficacy | peoples expectations that they are capable of preforming behaviors that produce desired outcomes in any particular situation |
| proxy agency | 1 of 3 nodes of human agency, (proxy agency) involves self-regulation through other people |
| Collective agency | confidence people have that their combined efforts will produce social change |
| external factors | external factors include peoples physical and social environments |
| internal factors | internal factors include self-observation, judgmental process, self reaction |
| moral agency | when people find themselves in a moral situation, they regulate themselves through moral agency |
| observation | type of learning that allows people to learn without preforming a behavior |
| modeling | involves observation of others and learning from their actions, observation of consequences of others behavior |
| attention | 1st process of observational learning, tend to pay (attention) to people who we associate with more |
| representation | 2nd process of observational learning, order for (ob) to lead to new response patterns, must be symbolically represented in memory |
| Behavioral production | after attending to a model, retaining what we have observed, convert cognitive representations into appropriate action |
| motivation | reasons to enact the behavior |
| enactive learning | type of learning, takes place when behavior produces consequences, and those inform us of our actions effects , entail foresight, serve to reinforce behavior as Skinner outlined |
| Tridactic reciprocal causation | system that assumes human action, result of interaction among 3 variables, environment, behavior and person, (Bandura) most emphasize on cogitative factors |
| reciprocal | (Bandura) describe a (3) interaction of forces, 3 (reciprocal) factors, dont need to be of = strength of make = contributions |
| human agency | ability of people to use cognitive agency to control their lives |
| intentionality | feature of human agency, in Banduras words, proactive commitment to bring them about |
| forethought | feature of human agency, allows people to set goals, anticipate likely outcomes of actions, and select behaviors that produce wanted outcomes and avoid unwanted ones |
| self-reflectivness | capacity for (self-reactiveness) means people are examiners of how they act |
| self-efficacy | belief in capacity to exercise some measure of control over own functioning, environmental events |
| outcome | peoples confidence that they have the ability to preform certain behaviors |
| outcome expectations | one's prediction of likely consequences of a particular behavior |
| mastery experiences | source of efficacy, refers to past performances, successful performances raise efficacy expectations, failure lowers them |
| vicarious experiences | 2nd source of efficacy , self-efficacy is raised when observe accomplishments of another person of = competences, lowered when we see a peer fail |
| Social modeling | learning by observing consequences of anothers behavior |
| Social persuasion | power of suggestion, (social persuation) more limited form of self-efficacy, under proper conditions can raise or lower it |
| physical, emotional | 4th/final combined source of efficacy, refers to persons bodily condition, and experience of strong emotion |
| Proxy | through (proxy) individuals can accomplish a goal, by relying on others to do what they cant or do'nt want to do themselves |
| collective efficacy | (bandura) defined this term, peoples shared beliefs in their collective power to produce desired results |
| dysfunctional behavior | dysfunctional behavior, is learned as a result of mutual interaction of the person, environment, and behavioral factors |
| depression | depression can result from failure, especially when based on unrealistically high goals and expectations |
| phobias | fears that are strong enough and persuasive enough to stop someone from doing something in daily life |
| Aggressive behavior | |
| covert modeling | (Vicaious modeling, 1st treatment approach in social cognitive therapy, entails viewing live or filmed models preforming threatening activities, reduce fear and anxiety people have about those activities |
| overt modeling | 2nd treatment approach, also called cognitive modeling, therapist trains patents to visualize models performing fearsome behaviors |
| enactive mastery | 3rd treatment procedure, requires patents to preform behaviors that preciously produced incapating fears |
| cognitive meditation |
