Document Summary

Strengths: integration of theoretical viewpoint and emphasis on research. Limitations: similar to other social-cognitive theories and limited explanations of cognitive variables. Behavior-outcome expectancies: belief that an outcome will follow a behavior. Stimulus-outcome: using environmental cues to anticipate an outcome. Self-regulatory systems: standards and codes of behavior we use to guide our behavior. Self-regulatory plans: specific course of action you use to help determine behavior in conjunction with environmental cues. Delay of gratification: tendency to forgo a smaller, immediate, reward for a larger one in the future (exa: college giving up doing something more fun, so that you can learn and have a better reward in the future) Cog strategies shift attention to one thing or another. Behav strategies engage in other activities to shift attention. Consequences of delay of gratification inability addictive behavior ability coping skills. When competencies match behavior, they are more consistent. The more specific an if then is then the more specific the actions are.
