Document Summary

Reducing the probability of behaviour: sometimes learned behaviours are detrimental to operation of organization & need to be reduced or eliminated. Two strategies that can reduce probability of learned behaviour: Punishment = the application of an aversive stimulus following some behaviour designed to decrease the probability of that behaviour: can be emotional or physical, should be performed immediately so they know what they did. Modelling (observational learning theory)- the process of observing and imitating the behaviour of others. Learning occurs by observing or imagining the behaviour of others (models), rather than through direct personal experience. ; self- reinforcement is occurred in the observational learning process. Self-efficacy beliefs people have about their ability to successfully perform a specific task www. notesolution. com. Idea that people have limited capacity to self-regulate: each act of regulation draws upon regulatory resources and has impact on future acts of regulation.
