A psychological situation
is |
|
|
|
the physical circumstance in which the person
behaves |
|
|
|
characterized in a way peculiar to a person, allowing her
to categorize it with or differentiate it from other situations |
|
|
|
social circumstance in which the person must decide how
to behave vis a vis other persons in the setting |
|
|
|
the social circumstance of the person's behavior |

To Rotter, situations
are |
|
|
|
more physical than psychological |
|
|
|
more social than psychological |
|

|
|
|
without an analog in the psychological realm |

expectancy is |
|

|
the probability held by a person that a particular
reinforcement will occur as a function of a specific behavior in a specific
situation |
|
|
|
the likelihood that whatever one does will result in a reinforcement,
provided only that she or he is attentive to magnitude and value of the
reinforcement |
|
|
|
looking ahead |
|
|
|
eyes on the top of the head |

Internal control refers
to |
|
|
|
the perception that reinforcement is dependent
on one's behavior or characteristics |
|
|
|
the perception that reinforcement is dependent on luck,
chance, fate, or powerful others |
|
|
|
whether control is impossible, probable, or highly likely |
|
|

whether the possibilities for control are stable, internal,
and global, or unstable, external, and specific |
