Week 3: lecture #3: wednesday january 21 2015. Rotter & social learning: the psychological situation. It"s the person"s subjective interpretation of the situation, rather than an objective array of stimuli, that determines how the person will behave (i. e. that has meaning to the person) Any situation that is perceive to be real will be real in its consequence: expectancy (e) Subjective probability that a given bahaviour will lead to a given outcome: reinforcement value (rv) Refers to the desirability of that outcome: behaviour potential (bp)=f(e,rv, e. g: jane"s potential for conscientiousness. E= if i work hard, then i will likely succeed . Rv= it is important to me that i succeed . E: if i try to start a convo, then others will find me weird . Rv: it"s important to me that other likes me . Intentions have causal properties: triadic reciprocal causation. How we behave is cause by who we are as ppl and the environment we"re in.
