Beliefs and Expectancies ๐
- Beliefs: What we think the world is like.
- ๐ Example: We might believe that exercise is beneficial for health.
- Expectancies: Predictions about what will happen in the future.
- ๐ฎ Example: If I run every day, I expect to become fitter over time.
- Sub-category: Ideas about what the world should be like.
- ๐จ Example: The world should be a place where everyone has equal opportunities to play sports.
- Quality & Worth Evaluations: According to experts like Bandura and Pervin et al., we evaluate the worth of an event based on these beliefs and expectancies.
- Self-Improvement Ingredients
- Believe in an action.
- Predict the outcome.
- Consider how it should be executed.
- ๐ฐ Real-world Example: To improve in soccer, believe that practicing will make you better (belief), expect to see progress if you practice regularly (expectancy), and visualize the correct technique (execution).
Behavioural Standards๐ก
- Mental Standards: How we judge the value of something or someone.
- ๐ Example: Scoring above 90% in an exam might be a student's standard for excellence.
- Behavioural (evaluative) Standards: How we evaluate our own actions.
- ๐ค Example: If I cheat during a workout, I might feel I didn't meet my own standards.
- Internal Reaction
- Satisfying: Meeting our standards.
- ๐ Example: Feeling proud after completing a tough workout without taking shortcuts.
- Dissatisfying: Not meeting our standards.
- ๐ Example: Feeling disappointed after giving up halfway during a race.
- Satisfying: Meeting our standards.
- Internal vs. External Factors: Unlike the behaviourist theory which says our actions are driven by the environment, the "internal guidance system" suggests we reflect and evaluate our actions.
- ๐ณ Example: A tree may sway due to external wind (environment-driven). But we may choose to study hard because of our own internal standards, not just because our parents told us to.
