Interventions: Instruments and Models for Influencing Behaviour - Subjective rational actor model, determinants of behaviour

7 important questions on Interventions: Instruments and Models for Influencing Behaviour - Subjective rational actor model, determinants of behaviour

What is structure of opportunities?

The action space resulting of available resource minus obstacle

On what will the subjective action space fluctuate?

The perception or knowledge about the action space

What kind of objective consequences can appear?


Advantages or disadvantages in
  • Physical (capital, time)
  • Social (status, power, resistance/support)
  • Environmental (biodiversity, sustainability, ecological footprint)
  • Higher grades + faster learning
  • Never study anything twice
  • 100% sure, 100% understanding

Where do expectations of the (subjective) consequences of behaviour fluctuate from?

From absolute certainty to absolute uncertainty about the real consequences of a course of action

What can be the outcome of uncertainty?

The avoidance of an alternative, depending on the willingness to take risks

Give some examples of background variables?

  • Resource: education increases action space in labour market
  • Obstacle: age, experience, lack of training, deficient education

Why is it not possible to predict behaviour?

Too much disturbing variables on the decision process

The question on the page originate from the summary of the following study material:

  • A unique study and practice tool
  • Never study anything twice again
  • Get the grades you hope for
  • 100% sure, 100% understanding
