We each have a set of personal standards that grew out of our own life history and thus shape our behavior.
Behavior is seen as the interaction of cognition, learning, and the current environment.

5. Expectancies
What a person expects from a situation or from their own behavior
Expectancies are formed from personal preferences/past experiences
The actual feedback will in turn mold future expectancies
people evaluate situations based on these

6. Expectancies form Performance Standards.
This leads people to conduct themselves according to performance standards
Individually determined standards of excellence by which we judge our behavior

7. Locus of control
a common expectancy (Julian Rotter) by which people view a situation
Internal locus of control – they can control their own fate. Through hard work, skill, and training, they can find reinforcements and avoid punishments
External locus of control – do not believe they control their own fate. Instead they are convinced that chance, luck, and the behavior of others determines their destiny and that they are helpless to change the course of their lives. – learned helplessness
