Study Notes

Perceived Control

Concerns pre-performance, in-performance, and post-performance expectancies regarding one's capacity to attain desired outcomes and prevent undesired outcomes.
Involves beliefs and expectations about one's ability to interact with the environment in ways that produce desired outcomes and prevent undesired outcomes.

Conditions for Control

A person needs two things to exercise control:
- Self-capability: being capable of obtaining the sought-after outcomes.
- Predictable and responsive situation: the situation needs to be somewhat predictable and responsive to one's control attempts.

Basic Idea

If the world is predictable and responsive, and you possess skills, exert effort, and utilize constructive strategies, you can justifiably expect to have control over what matters to you.

Coping with Failure

High personal control: adapting to failure in a constructive manner.
Low personal control: maladaptively coping with failure, leading to negative outcomes.
