Theory of Attribution II: Kelley's Covariation Theory

887
Attribution theory plays a crucial role in social psychology, helping to explain how individuals interpret the causes of behavior. One prominent model within this field is Harold Kelley's covariation theory, which provides a systematic approach to determining whether internal traits or external circumstances drive a person's actions. The model posits that individuals rely on three key types of information—consensus, consistency, and distinctiveness—to make these judgments.Consensus:...

Social Cognitive Perspective on Personality

Social cognitive perspectives on personality emphasize the importance of conscious awareness, beliefs, expectations, and goals in shaping behavior. These perspectives incorporate behaviorist principles, such as learning through reinforcement and conditioning, but extend beyond them by highlighting human reasoning and planning. Unlike traditional behaviorist views, social cognitive theory focuses on how individuals reflect on their past experiences and plan for future outcomes by considering...

The Behavioral Perspective on Personality01:19

The Behavioral Perspective on Personality

949
Behaviorists view personality as primarily shaped by environmental reinforcements and consequences. According to this perspective, behavior is influenced by external stimuli, and individuals adjust their actions based on rewards and punishments. Over time, learning histories — accumulated patterns of reinforcement — play a significant role in shaping personality. Behaviors that lead to positive outcomes are reinforced, while those resulting in negative outcomes are diminished.

    Area of Science:

    • Psychology
    • Criminology
    • Sociology

    Background:

    • Adolescent delinquency is a significant societal concern.
    • Understanding personality factors in gang members is crucial for intervention.
    • Previous research has explored personality traits associated with gang involvement.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To compare personality factors between gang members and a control group (club boys).
    • To investigate the relationship between personality traits and different types of delinquent behavior within gangs.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized the Objective-Analytic Personality Factor Battery.
    • Compared personality profiles of gang members and club boys across eleven factors.
    • Examined correlations between specific personality factors and delinquent behaviors.

    Main Results:

    • Significant differences were found in five personality factors between gang and club boys.
    • Club boys scored higher on assertiveness, exuberance, and realism.
    • Gang boys showed higher "manic smartness" and lower self-realization.
    • Assertiveness, alertness, and stolidness differentiated gang boys with different delinquent behaviors, but no simple linear relationships were identified.

    Conclusions:

    • Personality profiles of gang members differ notably from non-delinquent peers.
    • Specific personality traits may be associated with engagement in certain delinquent activities.
    • The relationship between personality and gang delinquency is complex and not reducible to simple linear models.
