UAV Psychological Questions Discussion

 

First set of questions 1. Bandura has explored the effects of the frequent exposure of children and adults to aggression and inhumane behavior in the media, and he has been concerned about the aggressive models that our culture provides. You can explore your own response by carefully monitoring your own television viewing and computer activity (i.e., playing computer games or surfing the Internet) and recording how many violent episodes you see in each show or activity. A “violent episode” is any behavior aimed at harming another living creature that wishes to avoid such treatment. Assaults on inanimate objects are considered violent if they indirectly cause harm, such as destruction of another’s property. After each viewing period, record your mood and desire to express yourself aggressively on a scale of 1 (not at all) to 10 (a great deal). Do you see any correlation between your intensity of mood and the number of violent episodes you observe? Do your results confirm Bandura’s position that exposure to aggression tends to increase aggression?

2. Self-efficacy, as explained by Bandura, relates to people’s beliefs about how well they can successfully perform behaviors that will produce a desired effect. Beliefs about efficacy are both individual and collective and directly impact personal choices and values. To examine the influence that beliefs about personal efficacy can have on a person’s life, ask five of your friends what they feel they do best. Does the skill they name relate to their field of study, to their favorite hobby, to their political beliefs? Do you agree with their self-efficacy assessments? Do they agree with your own self-efficacy assessments?

3. Rotter’s most important concept is locus of control, the extent to which a person believes that reinforcements are driven by his or her own behavior (internal locus) or by other people or outside forces (external locus). Who among the significant persons in your life do you think has the strongest internal locus of control? Who has the strongest external locus of control? Describe the characteristics of these individuals. In what ways if any are their personalities distinctly different, or are they predominantly the same?
