Use Bandura’s concept of self-regulation to explain Yolanda’s progression through her career.
What will be an ideal response?
Bandura’s self-regulation involves three stages: self-observation of behavior; judgment or evaluation of that behavior; and a self-reaction in which we respond positively or negatively to our behavior depending upon our previous evaluation. This can be applied to Yolanda’s progression through her career. For example, during school, Yolanda would observe her academic performance; use an external standard to judge that performance positively (e.g., praise by her teachers); and continue that behavior because it met her standards. During college, Yolanda observed her grades falling; judged that experience/behavior poorly; and temporarily dropped out of college because she could not live up to her high standards.
