Study Notes
Learning and Behaviour
- Learning is defined as behaviour change through experience
- S-R Theory proposes learning occurs when stimuli trigger a response
- Rewards increase the repetition of a behaviour
- Learning is a cognitive process influenced by beliefs and expectations
- Cognitive theorists emphasize subjective beliefs
Major Cognitive Variables
- Knowledge: awareness of facts, truths, or principles gained through experience or information
- Skills: the ability to perform tasks proficiently developed through training or practice
- Beliefs: acceptance of facts without conclusive evidence, often shaping perception as reality
- Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB): considers individual beliefs, attitudes, and social norms when predicting behaviour
Stages of Change Model
- Identifies stages of change to understand behaviour modification.
- Process is circular, not linear.
- Five stages are:
- Pre-contemplation: individuals not considering change and may intend not to change.
- Contemplation: individuals consider changing their behaviour.
- Preparation: individuals commit to change.
- Action: individuals initiate behaviour change.
- Maintenance: individuals sustain the behaviour change.
- Termination: optional stage where individuals are unlikely to revert to unhealthy behaviour.
Social Learning Theory
- Individuals are acted upon by their environments and also self-regulate their environments and actions.
- Focuses on the reciprocal determinism of an individual's behaviour, personal factors, and environmental factors.
Social Cognitive Theory
- Builds upon social learning theory by incorporating:
- Observational learning: watching and learning from others.
- Vicarious reinforcement: learning through the consequences of others' actions.
- Main factors for behaviour change:
- Self-efficacy: belief in one's ability to overcome obstacles.
- Goals: setting specific health-related targets.
- Outcome expectancies: belief that a behaviour will lead to specific outcomes.
Understanding Organizations
- Structure: analyzing the organization's chart to understand:
- Locus of authority
- Decision-making process
- Division of labour
- Norms: acceptable standards of behaviour shared by group members.
- Climate: shared perceptions about the organization, influenced by external factors.
- Climate can be described as the organization's personality.
- Culture: shared assumptions that form the context for organizational innovation.
- Can be universal or specific to segments.
- Set by decision-makers or influential people.
- Adaptable but often takes time to change.
- Capacity: the organization's ability to deliver services or products, maintain operations, and adapt.
Climate vs. Culture
- Climate: influenced by leadership style of supervisors and management, as well as rules and policies.
- Culture: shaped by organizational rules and policies that are transmitted to new members.
