The Relation of Response-Outcome Expectancies to Aggressive and Prosocial Behavior

Saveliev, Kristyn

Abstract Details

2007, Master of Arts (MA), Bowling Green State University, Psychology/Clinical.
Researchers have investigated the different social-cognitive processes associated with aggressive and prosocial behaviors. The purpose of the current study was to examine the relations among response-outcome expectancies for self-reward, tangible reward, and peer-approval, goals, and aggressive and prosocial behavior, based on models of social-information processing (Crick & Dodge, 1994; Huesmann, 1988). After controlling for demographic variables, little support was found for the hypothesized model in which goal importance moderated the relation between response-outcome expectancies and aggressive and prosocial behaviors. Likewise, little support was found for additional exploratory analysis in which response-outcome expectancies mediated the relation between goals and aggressive and prosocial behavior. The findings point to the importance of using study designs that capture online- processing when predicting aggressive and prosocial behavior.
