The Social-Cognitive Perspective Of Personality

Bandura is Back Social cognitive theory stems from social learning theory (under the umbrella of behaviorism). Behaviorism (as introduced by Watson) supports a direct and unidirectional pathway between stimulus and response, representing human behavior as a simple reaction to external stimuli.

Social-Cognitive Perspective Bandura (1986, 2001, 2005) believes that personality is the result of an interaction that takes place between a person and their social context. Albert Bandura

Reciprocal Influences Bandura called the process of interacting with our environment reciprocal determinism. The three factors, behavior, cognition, and environment, are interlocking determinants of each other. OBJECTIVE 20| Define reciprocal determinism, and explain how it illustrates the social-cognitive perspective.

Individuals & Environments Specific ways in which individuals and environments interact Different people choose different environments. The school you attend and the music you listen to are partly based on your dispositions. Our personalities shape how we react to events. Anxious people react to situations differently than calm people. Our personalities shape situations. How we view and treat people influences how they treat us.

Social Cognitive Perspective Different People choose different environments. The TV shows you watch, friends you hang with, music you listen to were all chosen by you (your disposition) But after you choose the environment, it also shapes you.

Social Cognitive Perspective Our personalities help create situations to which we react. If I expect someone to be angry with me, I may give that person the cold shoulder, creating the very behavior I expect.

Behavior Behavior emerges from an interplay of external and internal influences.

Personal Control Our sense of controlling our environment rather than the environment controlling us.

Personal Control Social-cognitive psychologists emphasize our sense of personal control, whether we control the environment or the environment controls us. External locus of control refers to the perception that chance or outside forces beyond our personal control determine our fate. OBJECTIVE 21| Discuss the effects of a perception of internal or external control, and describe the concept of learned helplessness. Internal locus of control refers to the perception that we can control our own fate.

Learned Helplessness The hopelessness and passive resignation an animal or human learns when unable to avoid repeated aversive events.

Learned Helplessness When unable to avoid repeated adverse events an animal or human learns helplessness.

Who is more satisfied with life? Who has more success? Optimism vs. Pessimism An optimistic or pessimistic attributional style is your way of explaining positive or negative events. Who is more satisfied with life? Who has more success? Positive psychology aims to discover and promote conditions that enable individuals and communities to thrive. OBJECTIVE 22| Discuss the link between performance and optimistic or pessimistic attributional styles, and contrast positive psychology with humanistic psychology.

Assessing Behavior in Situations Social-cognitive psychologists observe people in realistic and simulated situations because they find that it is the best way to predict the behavior of others in similar situations. OBJECTIVE 23| Explain why social-cognitive researchers assess behavior in realistic situations.

Evaluating the Social-Cognitive Perspective Critics say that social-cognitive psychologists pay a lot of attention to the situation and pay less attention to the individual, his unconscious mind, his emotions, and his genetics. OBJECTIVE 24| Summarize the criticisms of the social-cognitive perspective.

Positive Psychology and Humanistic Psychology Positive psychology, such as humanistic psychology, attempts to foster human fulfillment. Positive psychology, in addition, seeks positive subjective well-being, positive character, and positive social groups. Courtesy of Martin E.P. Seligman, PhD Director, Positive Psychology Center/ University of Pennsylvania Martin Seligman

Exploring the Self Research on the self has a long history because the self organizes thinking, feelings, and actions and is a critical part of our personality. Research focuses on the different selves we possess. Some we dream and others we dread. Research studies how we overestimate our concern that others evaluate our appearance, performance, and blunders (spotlight effect). Research studies the self-reference effect in recall. OBJECTIVE 25| Explain why psychology has generated so much research on the self, and give three examples of current research on the self.

Benefits of Self-Esteem Maslow and Rogers argued that a successful life results from a healthy self-image (self-esteem). The following are two reasons why low self-esteem results in personal problems. When self-esteem is deflated, we view ourselves and others critically. Low self-esteem reflects reality, our failure in meeting challenges, or surmounting difficulties. OBJECTIVE 26| Give two alternative explanations for the positive correlation between low self-esteem and personal problems.

Culture & Self-Esteem OBJECTIVE 27| Discuss some ways in which people maintain their self-esteem under conditions of discrimination or low status. People maintain their self-esteem even with a low status by valuing things they achieve and comparing themselves to people with similar positions.

Self-Serving Bias We accept responsibility for good deeds and successes more than for bad deeds and failures. Defensive self-esteem is fragile and egotistic whereas secure self-esteem is less fragile and less dependent on external evaluation. OBJECTIVE 28| Discuss some evidence for self-serving bias, and contrast defensive and secure self-esteem.
