6 important questions on Psychological level: Social-cognitive theory & dual processing models - Specific elements as part of human agency
What does positive or negative (self)feedback from behaviour influence on people?
Self-feedback is what we ourselves generate (e.g. I did a good job on the exam).
It is not just simply something that was going on outside that determines what you think about your selves. It is can also just be something that you thought about yourself.
We got consciousness and consciousness determines human agency, but what are then the specific elements that we would consider as part of the definition of human agency?
- Forethought
- Self-reactance
- Self-reflectiveness
What is intentionality as a specific element in the definition of human agency?
- Commitment that you will do in the future. If you have some kind of intention it doesn’t mean that you'll actually do it.
