AU People Eating Habits Throughout the Day & Social Cognitive Theory Analysis

 

I’m trying to study for my Psychology course and I need some help to understand this question.

Eating Habits

You are interested in studying people’s eating habits throughout the day. To do this, you decide to use a questionnaire. Discuss, in a 1-page Microsoft Word document, how you will develop a rapport with participants, any considerations or potential risks you will consider, the environment and context in which the participant will complete the questionnaire, and how you will recruit or select participants. You need to write the questions (minimum of ten) you will use, making sure to pay close attention to the wording you use.

Note: You may not conduct these interviews because you do not have institutional review board (IRB) approval.

Part two

behavioral treatment approaches for addiction. In addition to the focus of these modalities, it is important to understand the “social” aspect of addiction and, as consequence, its treatment. 

Social cognitive theory posits that human functioning results from reciprocal interactions among personal factors, such as cognitions, emotions, behaviors, and environmental conditions. It contends that learners set goals that they feel self-efficacious about attaining and believe that when attained will result in positive outcomes. Bandura’s theory identifies two types of expectations—outcome expectation and efficacy expectation. Outcome expectations are beliefs about the likely consequences of actions (Bandura, 1986).Efficacy expectations, or self-efficacy, refer to personal beliefs about an individual’s capabilities to learn or perform actions at designated levels (Bandura, 1997).

Based on your understanding of the above and relevant research, answer the following questions:

  • What is self-efficacy and what is the self-efficacy model based on?
  • Research an article that provides information on self-efficacy and addictions. Using the information provided from that and your course readings explain why self-efficacy may be important in effectively treating addictions.
