Document Summary
Increasing the probability of behaviour by positive or negative reinforcement. Positive reinforcement: increase the probability of behaviour by adding a stimulus (ex: pleasant) Negative reinforcement: increase the probability of behaviour by removing a stimulus (nagging) Extinction: just ignoring it and hoping is goes away. Punishment: addition of unpleasant stimulus to decrease probability of behaviour. Perception: interpreting a message in order to provide order and meaning to the environment. Implicit personality theories: belief that certain traits accompany one-another when they don"t. Selection interview: ideal candidate, primacy effect, heavily weighted negatives, compared to other cadidates. Performance appraisal: looks mostly at recency, rater errors (leniency, harshness), similar to me, halo- Def: how motives are assigned to explain behaviour. Ex: smith is always takes long breaks, his co-workers do not, he also took long breaks at his old job. Distinctive (is the only one that does this) Low distinctiveness (did this at old jobs/not new behaviour)
