Document Summary
Personality dispositions are shaped through development by learning and experience. Modeling: children will imitate behaviors of adults or peers that they like or that they see rewarded. Locus of control: the extent to which believe influential forces lie within or outside the individual. Self efficacy: beliefs about the self"s ability and competence. Can be domain specific, i. e. athletics or academics. High self efficacy may lead to greater persistence on challenging tasks. This is one reason why helicopter parenting is problematic. If do too much for kids sends the message that they are not competent enough to handle things- hinders self efficacy. Do not place much emphasis on early development. Individual plays a major role in shaping own personality, we differ in what we strive for. Self actualizing motive: the process by which people strive to fulfill their individual potential for personal growth though greater self-understanding. (top of maslow"s pyramid)
