Document Summary
Probability of behavior depends on: value of goal (in environment) for the individual, the person"s expectancy of obtaining the goal. We choose behaviors with the largest combination of expected success. e. g. , choosing a career (b) become a brain surgeon (e) expectation of achieving goal, getting degree etc. : (scale 0. 0-1. 0): 0. 25 (v) desirability of goal: (out of 10): 9. B = 0. 25 x 9 = 2. 25 or (b) become a high school biology teacher (e) expectation of achieving goal: 0. 8 (v) desirability of goal: (out of 10): 7. B = 0. 8 x 7 = 5. 6 should choose this one. Social learning theory (rotter along with albert bandura) Expectancies and values are learned: through personal experience, by observing others. Bandura: 3 sources of motivation: direct reinforcement (or punishment, vicarious reinforcement (modeling) Different expectations of how reinforcement is controlled (rotter 1966, 1975): Internality: belief that reinforcement results from our own behavior.
