This is a draft. I havent moved any of the senses yet, and will await comment. Andrew massyn 19:06, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
- Causing as of a catalyst. Unable to find. Removed sense.
- Some guy called Bandura has written the biggest lot of bilge imaginable. however it has been taken up and accordingly rfvpassed. I have put the synopsis of his waffle in. It makes me want to puke all over sociologists. If they cant write, they should go and get a job as a streetsweeper, rather than inflict this sort of crap on the general public. So sue me.
- Social Cognitive Theory: An Agentic Perspective Albert BanduraThis article presents the basic tenets of social cognitive theory. It is founded on a causal model of triadic reciprocal causation in which personal factors in the form of cognitive, affective and biological events, behavioral patterns, and environmental events all operate as interacting determinants that influence one another bidirectionally. Within this theory, human agency is embedded in a self theory encompassing self-organizing, proactive, self-reflective and self-regulative mechanisms. Human agency can be exercised through direct personal agency; through proxy agency relying on the efforts of intermediaries; and by collective agency operating through shared beliefs of efficacy, pooled understandings, group aspirations and incentive systems, and collective action. Personal agency operates within a broad network of sociostructural influences. In these agentic transactions, people are producers as well as products of social systems. Growing transnational imbeddedness and interdependence of societies are creating new social realities in which global forces increasingly interact with national ones to shape the nature of cultural life.
- Self determination linked to human agency. Seems to be a sub-species of no. 2 above. It is a nice big word like marmalade. this is what some idiot feminist has to say. i am removing the sense.
- According to the researchers' model, when individuals are placed in work contexts characterized by decision-making discretion, broad information sharing and a climate of trust and respect, they are more likely to experience work as self-determined, and are more apt to engage in active, purposeful—i.e., "agentic"—behaviors that contribute to thriving.
- Milagram's theory. Seems to be OK and is at least clear.
- Internal force. Seems to relate to human behaviour only forces like passion, love, self worth and drive. are agentic forces. I am removing the sense.
