Task 1
PS330/8 reading: Chapter 11: Albert Bandura and Walter Mischel
According to the social-cognitive theory, most behavior is self-regulated. This theory states that your behavior is guided by internalized performance and moral standards. If your actions and choices meet or exceed these standards, you feel good about yourself, but if it does not, you feel bad.
Give an example of how your own performance and moral standards guide your behavior. Define the differences between intrinsic and extrinsic reinforcement. Do you agree with the social-cognitive contention that intrinsic reinforcement has more of an impact on behavior than extrinsic reinforcement? Explain your reasoning. Next, explain where you think the basis of your moral and performance standards originated. (Parents, School, Scouts, the Streets, etc.). Was this reinforcement more intrinsic or extrinsic? Explain your reasoning.
Task 2
PS330/9 Reading: Chapter 15: “Abraham Maslow.”
For this discussion, read this article from the Purdue Library in addition to your text.
Goud, N. (1994). Jonah complex: The fear of growth. Journal of Humanistic Education & Development,
32(3), 98. https://doi.org/10.1002/j.2164-4683.1994.tb00138.x
Describe Maslow’s theory that he called the Jonah Complex and compare and contrast it with the fear of failure. What is your vision of your greatest self? Are you reaching for that vision or have you been living a life below your potential, simply because you do not think you are worthy or capable of the greatness you see? How might this be related to your personality and the Jonah complex? Explain where, on Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs, you would expect to see the impact of the Jonah Complex. Provide an example to show your viewpoint.
