1. Social Learning and Social, Cognitive, Affective Approaches

2. Rotter The “psychological situation”
Behavior Potential BP= f( E + RV )
Expectancies
Reinforcement Value
Locus of Control

3. Bandura Observational learning Self-regulation Self-efficacy
Reciprocal interactionism

4. Self-regulation reinforcement has no direct effects
self reinforcement is as important as external
internalized standards and processes of reward and punishment
***Self-regulation overcomes stimulus control

5. Self-efficacy 2 types of expectancies Outcome expectancy Self-efficacy
SE determines:
behavior to be performed
amount of effort expended
persistence in the face of adversity, etc.

6. Reciprocal interactionism
or Reciprocal Determinism
selecting environments
creating environments
transforming environments

7. Mischel and CAPS theory
basic principles, concepts, assumptions:
focus on P X S interaction
include and integrate
Cognitive, Emotional, Motivational, Biological & Environmental factors

8. Mischel and CAPS theory
CAUs ( person variables)
1. Encodings (cognitive constructions)
2. Expectancies ( “if-then” behavior-outcome, self-efficacy)
3. Affects
4. Goals and Values
5. Competencies and Self-regulation

9. Mischel cont. Personality coherence
individual differences in the “chronic accessibility” of CAUs
consistency of variability across situations

10. Mischel cont.
Relative impact of person variables and situation variables (when does which take precedent?)
greater ambiguity and “response freedom”
greater influence of person variables (indiv. diff.)

11. The self I & me Self-schemas (Markus, etc.)
Multiple selves: (Markus, Higgins, etc.)
Self-discrepancies (Higgins: Actual, Ideal, Ought)

12. Causal Attributions Helplessness Pessimism and Optimism
Pessimism: Stable, Global, due to the Self
Optimism: Fleeting, Specific, not due to personal flaw
