Describe the components and dynamics of Albert Bandura's triadic reciprocal causation model
What will be an ideal response?
Bandura's triadic reciprocal causation model holds that people's behavior is the result
of interactions among three elements—personal characteristics, behavior patterns,
and environmental factors. Personal characteristics are cognitive factors (such as goal setting, learning skills, and self-efficacy beliefs), affective factors (such as anxiety and satisfaction), and metacognitive factors (such as knowledge of the role of strategic processes in learning and monitoring). Behavior patterns are such behaviors as self- observation and self-evaluation. Environmental factors are elements of the individual's physical and social environment and include the nature of the learning task,
reinforcing and punishing consequences, and the influences of other people. Because the model is reciprocal, or interactive, pairs of elements (personal characteristics and behavior patterns, for example) can influence each other.

A data analyst for a small chain of boutique hotels was interested in what shaped guest satisfaction with their hotel stays. He decided to build a multi-level linear model. Because he had not run one before he decided to build the model in stages, starting with a basic linear model. His outcome variable was Satisfaction, which measured guest satisfaction on a ten-point scale. His initial parameters were Satisfactionx (guests’ satisfaction with the hotel chain prior to them staying, measured on a ten-point scale) and Duration (measuring duration of each guest’s stay in days). He ran the model and found that Satisfaction2 had a p = 0.05 (b = -1.69) and Duration had a p = 0.01 (b = 0.665). How would you interpret this?
A. Guest satisfaction is not significantly associated with duration of stay B. Guest satisfaction is significantly associated with duration of stay C. Guest satisfaction significantly improves with duration of stay D. Guest satisfaction significantly declines with duration of stay
