Personalized Psychotherapy Informed by Person in Context Assessment
We examined the therapeutic utility of personalized psychotherapy informed by social cognitive personality assessment. Specifically, Person in Context Assessment (PICA) assesses both the social cognitive personality structures (i.e., temperament, self-schemata, goals, and moral standards) and the if-then personality processes (i.e., situation-based patterns of appraisals, affects, behaviors) characterizing an individual. Both the client and the t…
The social‐cognitive clinician
We review Bandura's contributions to cognitive‐behavioural theory, research and practice. His basic research on the causal role of cognitive processes in social learning was a major factor in the emergence of cognitive ‐behavioural therapies in the 1970s. His investigations on observational learning and self‐efficacy beliefs led to the development of guided mastery therapy, a specific cognitive‐behavioural intervention for anxiety disorders. His …
The Relational Self-Schema Measure
Modern self-schema theory posits multiple representations in memory of the self, with each individual self-schema possessing associative connections to relational contexts (i.e., self-with-other). However, existing self-schema measures typically assess a generalized self unmoored from context. In two studies, we present a new instrument-the Relational Self-Schema Measure (RSSM)-designed to represent the self-schema construct with greater content …
The Role of Goal Representations, Cultural Identity, and Dispositional Optimism in the Depressive Experiences of American Indian Youth from a Northern Plains Tribe
Values and Depressive Symptoms in American Indian Youth of the Northern Plains
Cognitive Self‐Regulation and Depression
The relationship between cognitive self‐regulatory processes and depression was examined in American Indian adolescents from a Northern Plains tribe. Students completed measures of negative life events, self‐efficacy, goals, and depressive symptoms. Results indicated that academic self‐efficacy was strongly associated with depression. Academic self‐efficacy also correlated with intrinsically motivating goal representations, such that students who…
Ignorance May Be Bliss, But Thought Suppression Promotes Superficial Cognitive Processing
Mood, self-efficacy, and performance standards
This research examined the effects of induced mood on personal standards for performance and judgments of one's performance capabilities, or self-efficacy judgments. In Experiment 1, standards and self-efficacy judgments were assessed on common social and academic tasks. In Experiment 2, these variables were assessed on 2 novel tasks. In both experiments, negative mood induced higher standards for performance. Induced mood had no effect on percei…
