Cognitive-Social Learning Theories in Personality• Albert Bandura• We each have a set of personal

standards that grew out of our own life history and thus shape our behavior.

• In this light, behavior is seen as the interaction of cognition, learning, and the current environment.

Outline

Cognitive-Social Learning Theories in Personality

Expectancies

• What a person expects from a situation or from their own behavior

• people evaluate situations based on these

• Expectancies are formed from personal preferences/past experiences

• The actual feedback will in turn mold future expectancies

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

– If you meet your own performance standards then you get . . .

Self-efficacy

• The expectancy that your efforts will be successful

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
