1. Social Cognitive Learning The role of observation, expectation, social experience and modeling on learning behaviors: Ultimate outcome  Self-control

2. Social Cognitive Learning Basic AssumptionsBasic Assumptions People can learn by observing others. Learning is an internal process that may or may not result in a behavior change. Behavior is directed toward particular goals. Behavior eventually becomes self-regulated. Reinforcement and punishment have indirect effects on learning and behavior by those observing.

3. Social Cognitive Learning Reinforcement & Punishment (331)Reinforcement & Punishment (331) –5 Cognitive Features that influence behavior Expectations of future consequences & responses based on the current situation/sExpectations of future consequences & responses based on the current situation/s Vicarious experiences of others’ consequencesVicarious experiences of others’ consequences Expectations about future consequences affect how we cognitively process of new informationExpectations about future consequences affect how we cognitively process of new information Expectations affect decisions about how to behaveExpectations affect decisions about how to behave Non-occurrence of expected consequences have effectsNon-occurrence of expected consequences have effects

Principle:Principle: –People tend to engage in activities based on their sense of competence &/or past success Increased probability of choosing specific future behaviorIncreased probability of choosing specific future behavior Affects Behavior & Cognition in 4 ways:Affects Behavior & Cognition in 4 ways: –Activity choice –Goal setting –Effort & persistence –Learning & achievement

11. Social Cognitive Learning Developing Self-Efficacy: 4 factorsDeveloping Self-Efficacy: 4 factors 1.Own past success/failure experiences 2.“Messages” from others –Relationship to “other” –Support &/or interfere –Direct &/or implied 3.Observed past success/failure experiences of others 4.Group past success/failure experiences: Collective self-efficacy

12. Social Cognitive Learning Promoting High Self-Efficacy: 4 factorsPromoting High Self-Efficacy: 4 factors –Competence promoting feedback –Mastery on challenging tasks –Success in terms of improvement/accomplishment –Errors occur within context of success
