Social Psychologist Albert Bandura explains the way people learn from their peers and leaders. The principles from his Social Learning Theory are often discussed as “role modeling.” Unfortunately, many of the valuable concepts he defines are left out of the discussion. Web-designers, entrepreneurs, and online businesses can apply these principles by thinking about their social networks as peer environments. They may even draw on analogies derived from family and classroom environments.
Social media users and shoppers are influenced by behavior modification principles in the same ways that dogs and other animals are trained. It is possible to shape user behaviors toward a desired behavior. When web designers and marketers use principles from learning psychology, they are able to influence online consumer behavior in ways productive for both the consumer and the business.
People make choices. They have a sense of self or some idea of who they are. The attitude people have about themselves influences the choices they make. We talk about that attitude almost without conscious understanding. But that sense of self motivates our choices. Here’s a concept that helps us understand the relationship between self and choice. Self-Esteem is a product of that relationship.
Self-Esteem: You hear the word and people talk like they know what it means. You might even be one of them.
But what is it? Self-Esteem:
Something we say people need
Something we say people have or
Something we say people don’t have enough of…and
Something we say makes a difference
So, what exactly is it and how do you get it?
Self-esteem is not the same thing as self-centered. In fact, self-centered behavior is a signal that a person is in need of self-esteem.
Here’s a link to Self-Esteem: What It Is and How You Can Get Some, a Squidoo Lens I wrote about the concept. There you’ll find a description of self-esteem, how it originates, and how you can benefit from understanding self-esteem.

Self-efficacy is the belief in your own capacity to succeed in specific circumstances. For example, researchers have shown people have “computer self-efficacy.” That is to say, they believe they have the ability to use computers.
Self-efficacy is measurable. Researchers are able to construct tests which accurately measure self-efficacy. With a properly constructed test, it is possible to compare one computer user’s self-efficacy with another users.’
Computer of self-efficacy is one of several tools used to study computer users’ behavior. One advantage of using self-efficacy constructs to study behavior is the level of detail they provide. Properly constructed, self-efficacy measures may be used to enhance information gathered from focus groups and tools like Google Analytics.
More about using multiple measures to understand behavior will follow in future posts.
One way to understand how people, families, groups, teams, and organizations change is to use a theory to interpret what you’re observing. The transtheoretical model of change describes change by using terms that name distinct stages of change. Those stages are:
Precontemplation—the period when people are not anticipating making the specified change;
Contemplatin—the period when people are intending to change sometimes during the next few months;
Preparation—the period when people are intending to take action to initiate the change in the near future;
Action—the period when people have made specific (overt) modifications in their behavior within the last few months;
Maintenance—the period when people are working to prevent relapse to prior habits or behavior patterns (usually a time period from a few months to five years in length)
Termination—the period when people have zero temptation and 100% self-efficacy for preventing returning to the behavior(s) that existed prior to the Action stage.
Future posts will describe the processes of change and self-efficacy.
