Glossary

The Theory of Planned Behavior: The Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) started as the Theory of Reasoned Action in 1980 to predict an individual's intention to engage in a behavior at a specific time and place. The theory was intended to explain all behaviors over which people have the ability to exert self-control. The key component to this model is behavioral intent; behavioral intentions are influenced by the attitude about the likelihood that the behavior will have the expected outcome and the subjective evaluation of the risks and benefits of that outcome.
Spotlight Of Belief: Belief determines possible action which determines results. Fixed Mindset: A “Fixed Mindset” assumes that one's character, intelligence, and creative ability are static givens. Growth Mindset: A “Growth Mindset” thrives on challenge and sees failure not as evidence of unintelligence but as an inevitability on the path to growth.
Locus of Control: refers to what you believe you have control over in your life, internal means you believe you dictate and control the results and happenings in your life, if you have an external locus of control, you believe life happens to you.
Self Efficacy: Self-efficacy refers to an individual's belief in his or her capacity to execute behaviors necessary to produce specific performance attainments (Bandura, 1977, 1986, 1997)
Attributing Cause To Effect: Attributing effects to previous causes ensures the progress you’re making in your life will sufficiently reinforce your growth mindset, internal locus of control, and belief that you can do what you set out to do.
Linearity Bias: assumption that a change in one quantity produces a proportional change in another.
Logarithmic growth: Logarithmic growth curves increase quickly in the beginning, but the gains decrease and become more difficult as time goes on.
Exponential Growth: Exponential growth curves increase slowly in the beginning, but the gains increase rapidly and become easier as time goes on.
The Compound Effect: The compound effect is the idea that small actions build up over time.
