Personality part 2
Cognitive social-model
Considers the influence of thought processes in producing behaviour.
Cognitive processes-
Behaviour outcome expectancies- beliefs about the likely outcome of a behaviour.
Self- efficiency- belief about ones ability to perform a behaviour.
Competencies- ones ability and skills
Values and Goals- what you value and what you want to achieve.
Reciprocal Determinism- Behaviour is produced by the interplay between environment, the C.P and
behaviour.
Observational learning- Observe others behaviour and often imitate it.
The trait Approach
Personality trait is a stable and enduring disposition to behave in a way in a variety of situations. A
trait is consistent. It manifests in an individuals behaviour onto a consistent predictable way. A trait
produces distinctiveness, individual differences in personality arise from relative possessions of
various traits.
Extroversion-
Low-
• Low sensory threshold
• More cortically aroused
• Strong stimulation aversion
High-
• High sensory threshold
• Less cortically aroused
• Large amount of stimulation
BIS/BAS Approach
The behavioural approach system (BAS) is attuned to rewards leading people to seek stimulation and
arousal.
The behaviour inhibition system (BIS) is attuned to punishments leading people to avoid dangerous
and painful experiences.
The five factor model (Big 5)
Openness: Intellectual and curious
Conscientiousness: reliable, thoughtful and organised
Neuroticism: anxious, tense and moody
