Based on the theories of motivation, I feel that Albert Bandura’s social learning theory is most applicable to explain my academic and social behaviour. I find that most of my social behaviours- controlling emotioal expressions, inhibiting argumentative speech, respecting others who are elder to me,etc, have been learned by observing my parents and siblings. The social approval which I received from others in practising these behaviour in my social setting led to strengthening new of these responses and observation thus motivated me to emulate socially appropriate behaviours. In such a scenario, the personal value of attaining a desirable goal such as building effective communication with others, seeking their cooperation, influencing their positive attitudes about myself, serves as the guiding factor to increase repeating such behaviour across situations.
To this end, behaviour is influenced by an internal locus of control where I have come to find personally meaningful reason in respecting others and treating others with politeness. These behaviours are motivated towards the internla goal of strengthening my own self esteem and self-concept and thus there is a desire to pursue the goals for the sake of the goals than for external sources of pleasure.
To this end, I find similarity between my own intrinsically motivated behaviour and the fictitious character of ‘Winnie the Pooh’ as Pooh the bear also observed and followed the behaviours of his friend Rabbit such as planting saplings, baking, but he gradually learned to repeat the behaviours even in the absence of any extrinsic rewards such as approval of his friends but would do it because he enjoyed doing them.
A contrast can be drawn between my own motivated behaviour and the behaviour of the fictitious character of the Grinch who refuses to imitate the behaviour of the other villagers and become a ‘carbon copy’. Instead, he is motivated Not by observation of other people getting rewarded for prosocial behaviour or speaking politely, but finds higher rewards in not obeying the rules. His destructive behaviour is extrinsicslly rewarded by the expectation of outcomes in the form of destroying the town decorations during the Christmas season,
