Study Notes
Theories & Models Continued - SR & SCT
- SR Theory (Stimulus Response) is a combo theory based on stimulus, response, and reinforcement.
- Learning occurs through events that physically drive behavior.
- Behavioral frequency is determined by consequences.
- Conditioning types include reinforcement and punishment.
- Positive Reinforcement: Strengthening/maintaining behavior by adding pleasure (e.g., enjoying dandelions while studying).
- Negative Reinforcement: Strengthening behavior by removing something unpleasant (e.g., fastening a seatbelt to remove the discomfort of being unbuckled).
- Positive Punishment: Decreasing behavior by adding something unpleasant (e.g., an aversive smoking program, or a bad-tasting nail polish).
- Negative Punishment: Removing a positive reinforcer to decrease behavior (e.g., eating in class when the instructor removes privilege).
- Punishment effects are usually temporary, behavior will likely return when punishment stops.
- Consequences (reinforcement/punishment) are best when immediate and frequent (e.g., a dog getting a treat for sitting).
Social Cognitive Theory (SCT)
- SCT is formerly known as Social Learning Theory.
- It differs from SR theory as it incorporates reinforcement and expectation to determine behavior. (Present + will get present= answer q).
- Behavior and beliefs regarding consequences are important.
- Concepts like expectancy and incentives are crucial (e.g., partner forgiveness).
- SCT is considered among the most complete theories in health behavior as it includes underlying determinants and methods of promoting change.
- SCT focuses on interactions between people and their environment (reciprocal determinism).
SCT Constructs
- Behavioral Capacity: Knowing what and how to perform a behavior. (e.g., aerobic exercise)
- Expectations: Considering and expecting specific outcomes. (e.g., expecting better breath for kissing).
- Values: Likelihood of a behavior increases based on its valued outcome. (e.g., breathing better to kiss meaningfully).
- Self-Efficacy: Perceived competence, situation-specific. Five ways to increase: Task mastery, vicarious experiences, verbal persuasion, imagery, and emotional arousal.
- Self-Control/Self-Regulation: Monitoring and adjusting behavior, reinforcement is key.
- Reinforcement: Includes direct, vicarious, and self-management/regulation methods.
- Reciprocal Determinism: Interactions among people, behavior, and environment, with dynamic relations.
SCT and Reciprocal Determinism
- Cognition, Environment, and Behavior influence each other in behavior change.
- The video is on this concept.
