moderately difficult
of easy, moderately difficult, and very difficult, the goals which will most increase motivation
participation in a goal setting; enhance credibility of person setting goal, provide rewards for goal completion
any two ways, other than adjusting difficulty, to increase goal acceptance
implementation intention
this is a plan for reaching a goal
operate
registration for classes represents this letter in the TOTE model
Test
what “T” stands for in the TOTE model
personal strivings
these are similar to lifetime goals and deal with intentions of how you will operate in the world
specificity
a goal to “study more” is unlikely to motivate due to its lack of this
less intrinsically motivated; (negative)
if personal strivings focus on extrinsic rewards, what is the impact on psychological well-being
corrective motivation
motivation force that causes you to reduce discrepancies
efficacy expectations
this is the perceived likelihood of having the ability to complete a task
outcome expectations
type of expectation shown here: if I study for 3 hours, I’ll get a B on the test
high self-efficacy makes us chose moderate-high difficulty of tasks
how does self-efficacy relate to the choices we make?
past/personal perfomance history
strongest determinant of efficacy expectation
self-efficacy incorporates situational or environmental factors
what is the difference between self-efficacy and efficacy expectations
learned mastery
the opposite of learned helplessness
pessimisstic
the explanatory style associated with learned helplessness
motivational deficit
the verbalization of “so why try?” is the prototypical expression of this deficit
lack of contingency, cognition, passive behavior
the three components of learned helplessness
lack of contingency
if running is associated with better race performance, this component of learned helplessness has been avoided
self-schema
these are domain-specific generalizations about ourselves
self-discrepant feedback
feedback information that is inconsistent with our self-schema
possible self
a potential future self
ignore the feedback
response to self-discrepant feedback when self-concept certainty is high
convey our self-concept to others (self-presentation)
the purpose served by symbols
cognitive dissonance
theory which states that people prefer consistency
evaluation
the E score stands for this in an EPA score
post-decision regret
after choosing between two attractive alternatives, cognitive dissonance results from this
fundamental sentiment
in Affect Control Theory, the terms for a culturally defined identity
affective deflections
in Affect Control Theory, motivation arises from these
corrective: present vs ideal / discrepancy: difference btwn /
Cognitive motivators: examples
Test, Operate, Test, Exit; Plan; reaching for an ideal state;
Plans: including the TOTE model and corrective motivation
Goal: anything you are trying to accomplish
Goals: define;
difference btwn performance level and goal level
goal-performance discrepancy;
moderately difficult goals lead to best impact on performance
effects on performance;
perceived difficulty; participation in goal-setting process; credibility of person setting goal; tying goal to external rewards
4 factors in goal acceptance;
enhances performance not motivation; stress, opportunity for failures, low creativity and intrinsic motivation
criticisms of goal-setting
things you are trying to accomplish during your lifetime; extrinsically and avoidance oriented are bad
Personal strivings: define; relation to happiness
strategy or action plan for accomplishing goal; is process not goal itself; make contingency plans
Implementation intentions: define; separating content from process; getting started and persisting
regulating self and not being impulsive helps with goal-accomplishing
Self-regulation
estimation of whether you have ability to do something
Efficacy expectations: define
consequence you expect but not 100% certain
Outcome expectations: define
personal behavior history, vicarious experience, verbal persuasion, psychological state
Self-efficacy: define, 4 determinants, 4 effects on behavior, empowerment
psychological state in which person has experienced repeated failure feedback in a given situation and they view that as unpreventable; contingency, cognition, behavior
Learned Helplessness: define, 3 components, 3 effects, relation to depression, explanatory style (define and two types), research on alternative explanations for helplessness (trauma, failure, unpredictability, depression), other criticisms
psychological and behavioral attempt at reestablishing an eliminated or threatened freedom
Reactance theory: define, describe how it works and when it occurs
have motivation and ways to achieve; better performance
Hope: causes, outcomes, high hope people descriptions
self-acceptance, positive relations with others, autonomy, environmental mastery, purpose in life, personal growth; discrepancy/cognitive dissonance
Dimensions of Psych. well-being (6); three problems of self
self-concept: mental representation of self; self-schema: cognitive generalizations about self learned from past experiences
Self-concept and self-schemas: define and differentiate; possible selves
elicit feedback consistent with self-schema; move present self toward possible self
Motivational properties of self-schemas: consistent self, contradictory information, symbols, self-discrepant feedback, self-concept certainty, self-verification process
inconsistent view of self
Dissonance: define, assumptions, 5 actions taken to handle, 4 situations that cause; Selfperception theory: describe; accuracy
evaluation, potency, activity; fundamental sentiment, transient impression, deflection
Affect Control Theory: 3 constructs, 2 behaviors; self-verification theory-premise and reasons
differentiation: expands self into complexitiy; integrationsynthesizes complexity into whole; internalization is incorporates external value
Agency: define, role of intrinsic motivation; concepts of differentiation, integration, internalization, and self-discordance
