PS101 Lecture Notes - Lecture 6: Albert Bandura, Nomothetic, Observational Learning
Document Summary
Hypothetical constructs are things we can observe, and what are the relationships that create observations that make constructs. Theories have to have: definition, organization and structure, development. Freud(cid:495)s psychoanalytic theory: intro: he didn(cid:495)t do the scientific way for research- he was subjective. Internal structures those goals: the things we cannot see, conscious vs unconscious, dynamic interaction, human being are hedonistic (avoid pain, seek pleasure, eros- sexual instinct, thanatos_-aggressive instinct, libido-energy sources that drives instincts. Jung(cid:495)s vital archetypes: persona-social conformity, how you get along in society, instinct that helps you present yourself to other people. We are not good a guessing what our actions will be at a certain moment. Continuum goes from one extreme to the next, heaviest to the lightest. Extroversion (more likely to drop out of school)/introversion. Measurement: eysenck personality inventory; 57 t/f questions. Structure and dynamics: stm-short term memory, ltm-long term memory, wm-working memory. A lot of consensus on the big 5.
