human social behavior |
|
|
|

|
|
|

|
|

cross-situational behavioral consistency, the basic notion

|

Mischel's "personality
system" |
|
|
|
is a series of closely interconnected traits |
|
|
|
is characterized by available cognitive and affective units |

|
is a collection of points along behavioral |

For Mischel, expectancy
is |
|
|

|
|
|
the probability held by the person that reinforcement will
occur as a function of a behavior in a specific situation |
|
|
|
anticipation of future reinforcement values |
|
|
|
the hopes one has regarding the likelihood of reinforcement
in the future |

Which of the following
shows the importance of values of outcomes? |
|
|
|
people react more rapidly to obtain valued
outcomes |
|
|
|

|

|
|

Self-regulatory plans
are |
|
|

|
|

guide determining what behavior would be appropriate under particular conditions |
|
|
|
rules that determine whether it will be profitable to behave

|
|
|
a special form of expectancy |

All of the following
except one are among the strategies that children adopt to delay gratification.
Which is NOT one of their strategies? |
|
|
|
children attempt to bargain with other children
present for a more desirable object as a means of delaying "consumption"
of the object that they currently possess |
|
|
|
covering up the preferred objects (M&Ms) or leaving
them in the open |
|
|
|
thinking of the preferred object abstractly (M&Ms are
buttons not "yummy") or concretely |
|
|
|
thinking of the task at hand or the future enjoyability
of the preferred object |
|
|
|
|

What adolescent personality
factors did Mischel and colleagues find were related to particular coping-with-delay
strategies used by children? |
|
|
|
extraversion |
|
|
|
ability to implement social skills under appropriate circumstances |
|
|
|
popularity among peers |
|
|
|
degree a child is sidetracked by minor set-backs |
|
|
|
|

How did Shoda, Mischel
and Wright (1989) show that people are interactionists? |
|
|
|
subjects were asked to choose the most plausible
explanations of behavior from definitions of several such explanations |
|
|
|
with situations specified, impressions were more accurate
in predicting differences among children in over-all, actual aggression |
|
|
|
when people are not allowed to use qualifiers or conditional
statements they were better able to predict aggression in children |
|
|
|
people were asked how another person typically behaves and
then how that person behaves in a specific situation |
|
|
|

All of the following
are contributions of Mischel, except one. Which is not one of his contributions? |
|
|
|
he had developed one of the most used personal
attribute measures in psychology |
|
|
|
he challenged the assumption of behavioral stability |
|
|
|
he has successfully championed the interactionist point
of view |
|
|
|
he caused trait theorists to sharpen their definitions and
hone their research procedures |
|
|
|
|
|

Which, according to
Allen, is a reason that Mischel will be remembered in the history of personality
psychology? He showed |
|
|
|
that personality tests predict behavior well |
|
|
|
that delay of gratification is unrelated to most traits |
|
|
|
that we can conceive of personality free of trait assumptions |
|
|
|
that children are behaviorally more than we thought |
