           MSC-551 Introduction to
      Media Psychology and Social Change

                   Fall 2011
Abstract

 Where Morse wrote “What hath God wrought?” at
 the inauguration of the telegraph, media
 psychologists and social historians might someday
 be writing “What hath Bandura wrought?’ in
 reference to the Occupy Wall Street movement.
Although not directly responsible for the activity at
 Zuccotti Park and its related actions around the
 World, the tenets of Bandura’s social cognitive
 theory have found ready vehicles for prosocial action
 and expression in the ongoing movement.
Abstract

 One vehicle, Occupy Wall Street’s flagship website
  (http://occupywallst.org) provides a living
  demonstration of Bandura’s ideas in action.
In the following slideshow the author discusses what
  Occupy Wall Street is, the transmedia nature of the
  website, and how social cognitive theory, in
  particular the concepts of collective efficacy and
  social modeling, are manifested in it.
To paraphrase songwriter Gil Scott Heron, the
  revolution may not be televised but it is being
  webcast.
Introduction
Introduction
On November 21, 2011, in what turned out to be a premature obituary
for the Occupy Wall Street movement (OWS) entitled “A Movement, A
Question: What Now?” New York Times columnist David Carr wrote:


“After last week's dead-of-night operation in New York to break up the
protest site in Zuccotti Park, and similar actions in other cities, it is
inevitable that Occupy Wall Street will eventually become more of an
idea than a place.” (para. 1)
Introduction
He ended with a caveat though –

“If the coming election ends up being framed in terms of ''fairness,''
the people who took to the streets, battled the police and sat through
          those endless general assembly meetings will know
                 that even though their tents are gone,

             their footprint remains.”(para.         18).
Introduction

 Occupy Wall Street’s “footprint” remains online where it has always
                      been at occupywallst.org.



 As Bandura (2002), the great
  prophet of collective efficacy,
  foresaw, “The internet
  technology is changing social
  and political processes. It
  provides vast opportunities to
  participate directly in
  sociopolitical matters of
  concern, and a ready vehicle
  for mobilizing grass-roots
  activity to promote desired
  changes in social practices
  and policies.” (p. 10)
What is
“Occupy Wall Street”?



              ?
What is
    “Occupy Wall
      Street”?
You can’t talk about the OWS
website without talking about
the Occupy Wall Street
movement.
The story of OWS is a classic
narrative of Us against Them,
David vs. Goliath, but in this
case “Goliath” is the 1% of the
wealthiest Americans (and by
extension the World) who
lord their power and influence
over the rest of the
population, the 99% (aka
David), and are blamed for
the recent economic
meltdown that has left many
in the 99% without jobs,
homes, and hope.
What is
   “Occupy Wall
     Street”?
As the “About” section of
occupywallst.org, notes,

“The movement is inspired
by popular uprisings in
Egypt and Tunisia, and
aims to fight back against
the richest 1% of people that
are writing the rules of an
unfair global economy that
is foreclosing on our
future.”
What is
    “Occupy Wall
      Street”?
It’s a cognitive distinction that
Bandura would recognize.

Referring to the “triadic
reciprocal causation” aspect of
his social cognitive theory, he
notes that, “In this
transactional view of self and
society, personal factors in the
form of cognitive, affective,
and biological events,
behavioral patterns, and
environmental events all
operate as interacting
determinants that influence
each other bidirectionally ….”
(Bandura, 2001, pp. 265-266).
What is
    “Occupy Wall
      Street”?
All is not lost, however.
Where David had his sling
and stones, the 99% have the
Internet and social media.
Referring to the “Arab Spring”
protests that have led to
revolutions across the Middle
East in the past year,
journalist John Boudreau
noted in the November 2,
2011 edition of the San Jose
Mercury News that,
“The revolution is being
tweeted …American activists
are using the same Internet
tools that Arabs used to
challenge oppressive
governments…” (para.1, 14).
What is
   “Occupy Wall
     Street”?
In the case of OWS the
revolution began with a
prompt from the Canadian
prosocial website
Adbusters.org.

“The first apparent mention
was that July 13 blog post by
activist group Adbusters …
urging people to
#OccupyWallStreet, as
though such a thing (Twitter
hashtag and all) were
possible.” (Berkowitz, 2011,
para. 5, 1)
What is
     “Occupy Wall
       Street”?
According to Berkowitz
(2011), Adbuster’s prompt
didn’t catch immediately,
but by September 17 enough
momentum had built across
the Web that an actual
occupation materialized at
Zuccotti Park, New York City
on Constitution Day,
September 17, 2011




(see also Greene, 2011).
What is
   “Occupy Wall
     Street”?
Boudreau (2011), quoting
Eugene Sherill, “a member of
the tech committee at
Occupy San Jose”, notes,

"If it were not for Facebook,
Twitter, YouTube, email, this
would have been squashed
on Wall Street, …Without the
open public media, this
movement wouldn't have
gone national and global. It
can't be slowed by big
corporate media." (para. 13).
What is
    “Occupy Wall
      Street”?
Bandura (2001), anticipates
this phenomenon when he
notes that:
“Social cognitive theory is
founded in an agentic
perspective (Bandura, 1986,
2001b). … personal agency
operates within a broad
network of sociostructural
influences. In these agentic
transactions, people are
producers as well as products
of social systems. Personal
agency and social structure
operate as codeterminants in
an integrated causal structure
rather than as a disembodied
duality.” (p. 266)
The Transmedia and
Convergent Nature of
  occupywallst.org
The Transmedia and
Convergent Nature of
  occupywallst.org

Jenkins (2006) defines
transmedia storytelling as,
“Stories that unfold across
multiple media platforms,
with each medium making
distinctive contributions to
our understanding of the
world, a more integrated
approach to franchise
development than models
based on urtexts and
ancillary products.” (p. 334)
The Transmedia and
Convergent Nature of
  occupywallst.org
By its very nature
occupywallst.org is an example
of a transmedia phenomenon
because it concurrently utilizes
multiple media and media
technology platforms to spread
its message across textual,
audio, and visual channels,
including Reddit, Twitter,
Facebook, RSS feeds, blogs,
video feeds, chat forums, and
email, among others.
 The web page is just one of the
collecting points, but it is a
portal and a central rallying
place where the different
media can meet and be
subsequently consumed,
inputted, and/or re-
transmitted. In other words,
they “converge”.
The Transmedia and
Convergent Nature of
  occupywallst.org
As Jenkins (2006) notes:
“…media convergence refers
to a situation in which
multiple media systems
coexist and where media
content flows fluidly across
them.” (p. 322)

He adds: “Convergence is
understood here as an
ongoing process or series of
intersections between
different media systems, not
a fixed relationship.”
(Jenkins, 2006, p. 322)
The Transmedia and
Convergent Nature of
  occupywallst.org
Another advantage to taking
a transmedia and convergent
approach is that not only can
the message get through via
different technological
channels to the information-
consumer (and potential
activist or supporter) but it
can also get into different
areas of their brain as well.
The Transmedia and
Convergent Nature of
  occupywallst.org
As Weinschenk (2009)
notes, much of our decision
making and the way we are
influenced occurs outside of
our conscious awareness, in
the older “unconscious”
parts of the brain, and an
effective website must
respond to that.
Weinschenk (2009)
comments, “To get us to
click, they have to persuade
us. … We want to think that
we are making logical
decisions, even though we
aren’t. The most effective
Web sites are Web sites that
talk to all three brains.”
(p. 13)
The Method behind the Media
The Method
  behind the Media

The transmedia and
convergent nature of the
Occupy Wall Street
movement are one of the
hallmarks of why it has been
so successful.
Berkowitz (2011), quoting
futurist Paul Saffo, observes,
“In the 1960s, "The tools of
social protest were
mimeograph machines and
postage stamps …Now it's
cyberspace. You have the
exponential growth of the
World Wide Web and social
media and velocity … as
things move much more
quickly” (para. 9).
The Method
  behind the Media


 However, as Darth Vader,
the black suited anti-hero of
another media phenomenon
that Jenkins (2006) cites as
an excellent example of
transmedia, cautions,
“Don't be too proud of this
technological terror you've
constructed …”

The technology of media can
only get you so far – it has to
be used correctly to be
effective.
The Method
 behind the Media


 As Jenkins (2006)
comments,

“Delivery systems are simply
and only technologies;
media are also cultural
systems. Delivery
technologies come and go all
the time, but media persist
as layers within an ever more
complicated information and
entertainment stratum.”
(p.4)
The Method behind the Media:
      Social Cognitive Theory

So what is the method behind the media that makes occupywallst.org
           (and, by extension, the movement) so effective?
            And how can you measure that effectiveness?
Bandura and his social cognitive theory, in particular his concepts of
             collective efficacy and social modeling,
                   can provide an explanation.
Social Cognitive
        Theory


 Snyder, Lopez, and Pedrotti
(2011) define
social cognitive theory as :

“A theory suggesting that
people’s self-efficacy
(confidence in their abilities)
influences their actions and
thoughts in such a way that
they shape their
environments.”
(p. 203-204).
Social Cognitive
       Theory

Bandura (2001) provides
a more technical
definition:
“Social cognitive theory
provides an agentic
conceptual framework
within which to analyze
the determinants and
psychosocial mechanisms
through which symbolic
communication
influences human
thought, affect and
action.” (p. 265)
Social Cognitive
       Theory :
  Collective Efficacy
“Collective efficacy” is a group
form of what Bandura calls
“personal efficacy”. To
understand collective efficacy
you have to define what
personal efficacy is first.

 According to Snyder et al.
(2011):

”Bandura (1997, p. vii) defined
self efficacy as “peoples’ beliefs
in their capabilities to produce
desired effects by their own
action.” Similarly, Maddux
(2009a, p. 336) has described
self efficacy as “what I believe I
can do with my skills under
certain conditions.” (p. 168)
Social Cognitive
       Theory :
  Collective Efficacy
Bandura (2004) himself
adds,
“Efforts at social change
typically challenge power
relations and entrenched
societal practices.
Successes do not come
easy. To change their
lives for the better,
people have to struggle
against dated traditions
and normative
constraints.” (p. 80)
Social Cognitive
      Theory :
 Collective Efficacy
One of the signature
elements of OWS that
helps them to foster,
maintain, and
encourage collective
efficacy in their
groups and self
efficacy for the
individual members
is the way they
organize themselves
both offline and
online.
Social Cognitive
      Theory :
 Collective Efficacy

For example, OWS
does not employ the
top – down vertical
structure with a
leader on top and the
followers below that
is typical of other
groups. In fact, it is a
movement purposely
comprised of people
organized
horizontally, with no
single leader pulling
the strings.
Social Cognitive
      Theory :
 Collective Efficacy
   And it works.

Berkowitz (2011) adds:
“The Occupy movement,
decentralised [sic] and
leaderless, has mobilised
[sic] thousands of people
around the world almost
exclusively via the
internet. To a large
degree through Twitter,
and also with platforms
such as Facebook and
Meetup, crowds have
connected and gathered.”
(para. 3).
Social Cognitive
      Theory :
 Collective Efficacy

So how can
such a group be
organized and
controlled in a
productive
fashion without
falling into
mobocracy?
Social Cognitive
       Theory :
  Collective Efficacy
On the ground, Occupy
Wall Street uses a
concept called the
“General Assembly”, a
form of pure (or “direct”
as the website puts it)
democracy where
everyone gets a vote.
Online, they use tools
such as the website to
host virtual versions of
the same groups they
have created offline.
Social Cognitive
       Theory :
  Collective Efficacy
On the website, or linked
to it, Occupy Wall Street
uses social media tools to
create, foster, and
maintain what Jenkins
(2006) would recognize as
“knowledge communities”.

“Knowledge communities
form around mutual
intellectual interests; their
members work together to
forge new knowledge often
in realms where no
traditional expertise exists
…” (Jenkins, 2006, p. 20).
Social Cognitive
       Theory :
  Collective Efficacy
And online knowledge
communities need not be
social, although they do
need the technology of
social media to work.
As Giles (2010)
points out,
“Many online
communities have been
developed whose
primary goal is not social
but informational …”
(p. 170).
Social Cognitive
       Theory :
  Collective Efficacy
These practices are entirely in
keeping with Bandura’s social
cognitive theory. He notes:
 “Social cognitive theory
extends the conception of
human agency to collective
agency. People’s shared
beliefs in their collective
power to produce desired
results are a key ingredient of
collective agency. A group’s
attainments are the product
not only of shared knowledge
and the skills of its different
members, but also of the
interactive, coordinative, and
synergistic dynamics of their
transactions.” (Bandura,
2000, pp. 75-76).
Social Cognitive
       Theory :
    Social Modeling
In describing social modeling,
Bandura (2004) notes:

“Modeling influences serve
diverse functions in promoting
personal and social change
(Bandura, 1986, 1997). They
include instructive,
motivational, social prompting,
and social construction
functions. With regard to the
instructive function, models
serve as transmitters of
knowledge, values, cognitive
skills, and new styles of
behavior. Observers also acquire
emotional proclivities toward
people, places, and objects
through modeled emotional
experiences.” (p. 78)
Social Cognitive
      Theory :
   Social Modeling
One of the signature
elements of Occupy
Wall Street, and a
measurement of its
success, is that it can
be (and frequently is)
replicated elsewhere
in other communities,
both physical and
and/or topical
Social Cognitive
      Theory :
   Social Modeling
 To do this the movement
engages in social
modeling, with the
flagship website
occupywallst.org serving
as both a prototype,
example and cultivator of
what in effect has turned
out to be kind of a
prosocial activist
franchise. While the
groups are not directly
related to each other, a
kind of horizontal
confederacy exists
between them (in keeping
with the local
organizational structure
discussed earlier) where
each group controls itself
locally.
Social Cognitive
      Theory :
   Social Modeling
 In addition, in an
example of what could
also be categorized
under the collective
efficacy discussed above,
the different franchises
frequently collaborate
together using social
media, sharing
resources, especially
information, and moral
support.
Social Cognitive
      Theory :
   Social Modeling
 The practical nature of
the social modeling
practiced by the Occupy
Wall Street site is in is in
keeping with the
precepts of Bandura’s
theory, all the more so
because the modeling
occurs “vicariously”
online while the
receiving Occupy groups
can be located around
the World.
Social Cognitive
       Theory :
    Social Modeling
 As Bandura (2002), notes
“… their [peoples’]
conceptions of social reality
are greatly influenced by
vicarious experiences – what
they see, hear, and read in the
mass media – without direct
experiential correctives.”
(p. 12).
He adds: “To a large extent,
people act on their images of
reality. The more people’s
images of reality depend upon
the media’s symbolic
environment, the greater is its
social impact (S. Ball-Rokeach
& DeFleur, 1976).” (Bandura,
2001, p. 271).
Measuring the Effect of Occupy Wall Street
         and occupywallst.org


 So how do you measure the effectiveness of a
   movement like Occupy Wall Street and a
       website like occupywallst.org?
Measuring the Effect
of Occupy Wall Street
and occupywallst.org

Bandura (2000) offers
the following advice.

There are two main
approaches to the
measurement of a
group’s perceived
efficacy:
Measuring the Effect
of Occupy Wall Street
and occupywallst.org
The first method
aggregates the individual
members’ appraisals of
their personal
capabilities to execute
the particular functions
they perform in the
group.
Measuring the Effect
of Occupy Wall Street
and occupywallst.org

 The second
method aggregates
members’
appraisals of their
group’s capability
operating as a
whole. The latter
holistic appraisal
encompasses the
coordinative and
interactive aspects
operating with-in
groups. (p. 76)
Measuring the Effect
of Occupy Wall Street
and occupywallst.org
 At the time of this writing
the author of this media
project was not able to
come across many reliable
quantitative facts and
figures regarding OWS
and the website, perhaps
because of the
decentralized nature of the
movement or because it is
still so new .
(Not that the author didn’t try -
255 separate LiveStream
channels were hand-counted as
of 12/17/11 at
occupystreams.org/ where OWS
showcases its links to its
LiveStream videos.)
Measuring the Effect
of Occupy Wall Street
and occupywallst.org

The following
qualitative anecdotes,
from a New York
Times article entitled
simply “Occupy Wall
Street” (12/14/2011),
are more in keeping
with Bandura’s advice:
Measuring the Effect
of Occupy Wall Street
and occupywallst.org
“Three weeks into the
protest, similar
demonstrations spread to
dozens of other cities across
the country, including Los
Angeles, San Francisco,
Chicago and Boston. In
October, demonstrations in
emulation of Occupy Wall
Street were held in Europe,
Asia and the Americas,
drawing crowds in the
hundreds and the
thousands.” (para. 6-7)
Measuring the Effect
of Occupy Wall Street
and occupywallst.org
In other words, the “efficacy”,
to use Bandura’s term,
demonstrated by OWS has
literally “moved” people.

And OWS is getting noticed
where it counts – the media:
“… there was a sevenfold
increase in Google searches
for the term “99 percent”
between September and
October and a spike in news
stories about income
inequality throughout the fall,
heaping attention on the
issues raised by activists.”
(para. 17)
Conclusion
Conclusion
It remains to be seen what
will come of the Occupy
Wall Street movement, its
website, and what History
will say about it. But it has
already made a difference.

According to the New York
Times (12/14/2011),
“Whatever the long-term
effects of the Occupy
movement, protesters have
succeeded in implanting
“We are the 99 percent,”
referring to the vast
majority of Americans …
into the cultural and
political lexicon.” (para. 15)
Conclusion
Bandura (2000) adds:
 ”People’s success in
shaping their social and
economic lives lies
partly in a shared sense
of efficacy to bring their
collective influence to
bear on matters over
which they can have
some command …. As
globalization reaches
ever deeper into
people’s lives, a
resilient sense of shared
efficacy become critical
to furthering their
common interests.”
(p. 78)
Conclusion


Regardless of the
outcome, the
footprint of OWS
– and by extension
the real world
application of
social cognitive
theory – will
remain.

V.2 mc nabb patrick final project (media) intro to media psych fall 2011 their footprint remains

  • 1. “…a footprint remains.” OccupyWallSt.org as a Prosocial Demonstration of Bandura’s Social Cognitive Theory Patrick E. McNabb Fielding Graduate University Final Project (Media) MSC-551 Introduction to Media Psychology and Social Change Fall 2011
  • 2. Abstract  Where Morse wrote “What hath God wrought?” at the inauguration of the telegraph, media psychologists and social historians might someday be writing “What hath Bandura wrought?’ in reference to the Occupy Wall Street movement. Although not directly responsible for the activity at Zuccotti Park and its related actions around the World, the tenets of Bandura’s social cognitive theory have found ready vehicles for prosocial action and expression in the ongoing movement.
  • 3. Abstract  One vehicle, Occupy Wall Street’s flagship website (http://occupywallst.org) provides a living demonstration of Bandura’s ideas in action. In the following slideshow the author discusses what Occupy Wall Street is, the transmedia nature of the website, and how social cognitive theory, in particular the concepts of collective efficacy and social modeling, are manifested in it. To paraphrase songwriter Gil Scott Heron, the revolution may not be televised but it is being webcast.
  • 5. Introduction On November 21, 2011, in what turned out to be a premature obituary for the Occupy Wall Street movement (OWS) entitled “A Movement, A Question: What Now?” New York Times columnist David Carr wrote: “After last week's dead-of-night operation in New York to break up the protest site in Zuccotti Park, and similar actions in other cities, it is inevitable that Occupy Wall Street will eventually become more of an idea than a place.” (para. 1)
  • 6. Introduction He ended with a caveat though – “If the coming election ends up being framed in terms of ''fairness,'' the people who took to the streets, battled the police and sat through those endless general assembly meetings will know that even though their tents are gone, their footprint remains.”(para. 18).
  • 7. Introduction Occupy Wall Street’s “footprint” remains online where it has always been at occupywallst.org.  As Bandura (2002), the great prophet of collective efficacy, foresaw, “The internet technology is changing social and political processes. It provides vast opportunities to participate directly in sociopolitical matters of concern, and a ready vehicle for mobilizing grass-roots activity to promote desired changes in social practices and policies.” (p. 10)
  • 8. What is “Occupy Wall Street”? ?
  • 9. What is “Occupy Wall Street”? You can’t talk about the OWS website without talking about the Occupy Wall Street movement. The story of OWS is a classic narrative of Us against Them, David vs. Goliath, but in this case “Goliath” is the 1% of the wealthiest Americans (and by extension the World) who lord their power and influence over the rest of the population, the 99% (aka David), and are blamed for the recent economic meltdown that has left many in the 99% without jobs, homes, and hope.
  • 10. What is “Occupy Wall Street”? As the “About” section of occupywallst.org, notes, “The movement is inspired by popular uprisings in Egypt and Tunisia, and aims to fight back against the richest 1% of people that are writing the rules of an unfair global economy that is foreclosing on our future.”
  • 11. What is “Occupy Wall Street”? It’s a cognitive distinction that Bandura would recognize. Referring to the “triadic reciprocal causation” aspect of his social cognitive theory, he notes that, “In this transactional view of self and society, personal factors in the form of cognitive, affective, and biological events, behavioral patterns, and environmental events all operate as interacting determinants that influence each other bidirectionally ….” (Bandura, 2001, pp. 265-266).
  • 12. What is “Occupy Wall Street”? All is not lost, however. Where David had his sling and stones, the 99% have the Internet and social media. Referring to the “Arab Spring” protests that have led to revolutions across the Middle East in the past year, journalist John Boudreau noted in the November 2, 2011 edition of the San Jose Mercury News that, “The revolution is being tweeted …American activists are using the same Internet tools that Arabs used to challenge oppressive governments…” (para.1, 14).
  • 13. What is “Occupy Wall Street”? In the case of OWS the revolution began with a prompt from the Canadian prosocial website Adbusters.org. “The first apparent mention was that July 13 blog post by activist group Adbusters … urging people to #OccupyWallStreet, as though such a thing (Twitter hashtag and all) were possible.” (Berkowitz, 2011, para. 5, 1)
  • 14. What is “Occupy Wall Street”? According to Berkowitz (2011), Adbuster’s prompt didn’t catch immediately, but by September 17 enough momentum had built across the Web that an actual occupation materialized at Zuccotti Park, New York City on Constitution Day, September 17, 2011 (see also Greene, 2011).
  • 15. What is “Occupy Wall Street”? Boudreau (2011), quoting Eugene Sherill, “a member of the tech committee at Occupy San Jose”, notes, "If it were not for Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, email, this would have been squashed on Wall Street, …Without the open public media, this movement wouldn't have gone national and global. It can't be slowed by big corporate media." (para. 13).
  • 16. What is “Occupy Wall Street”? Bandura (2001), anticipates this phenomenon when he notes that: “Social cognitive theory is founded in an agentic perspective (Bandura, 1986, 2001b). … personal agency operates within a broad network of sociostructural influences. In these agentic transactions, people are producers as well as products of social systems. Personal agency and social structure operate as codeterminants in an integrated causal structure rather than as a disembodied duality.” (p. 266)
  • 17. The Transmedia and Convergent Nature of occupywallst.org
  • 18. The Transmedia and Convergent Nature of occupywallst.org Jenkins (2006) defines transmedia storytelling as, “Stories that unfold across multiple media platforms, with each medium making distinctive contributions to our understanding of the world, a more integrated approach to franchise development than models based on urtexts and ancillary products.” (p. 334)
  • 19. The Transmedia and Convergent Nature of occupywallst.org By its very nature occupywallst.org is an example of a transmedia phenomenon because it concurrently utilizes multiple media and media technology platforms to spread its message across textual, audio, and visual channels, including Reddit, Twitter, Facebook, RSS feeds, blogs, video feeds, chat forums, and email, among others. The web page is just one of the collecting points, but it is a portal and a central rallying place where the different media can meet and be subsequently consumed, inputted, and/or re- transmitted. In other words, they “converge”.
  • 20. The Transmedia and Convergent Nature of occupywallst.org As Jenkins (2006) notes: “…media convergence refers to a situation in which multiple media systems coexist and where media content flows fluidly across them.” (p. 322) He adds: “Convergence is understood here as an ongoing process or series of intersections between different media systems, not a fixed relationship.” (Jenkins, 2006, p. 322)
  • 21. The Transmedia and Convergent Nature of occupywallst.org Another advantage to taking a transmedia and convergent approach is that not only can the message get through via different technological channels to the information- consumer (and potential activist or supporter) but it can also get into different areas of their brain as well.
  • 22. The Transmedia and Convergent Nature of occupywallst.org As Weinschenk (2009) notes, much of our decision making and the way we are influenced occurs outside of our conscious awareness, in the older “unconscious” parts of the brain, and an effective website must respond to that. Weinschenk (2009) comments, “To get us to click, they have to persuade us. … We want to think that we are making logical decisions, even though we aren’t. The most effective Web sites are Web sites that talk to all three brains.” (p. 13)
  • 23. The Method behind the Media
  • 24. The Method behind the Media The transmedia and convergent nature of the Occupy Wall Street movement are one of the hallmarks of why it has been so successful. Berkowitz (2011), quoting futurist Paul Saffo, observes, “In the 1960s, "The tools of social protest were mimeograph machines and postage stamps …Now it's cyberspace. You have the exponential growth of the World Wide Web and social media and velocity … as things move much more quickly” (para. 9).
  • 25. The Method behind the Media However, as Darth Vader, the black suited anti-hero of another media phenomenon that Jenkins (2006) cites as an excellent example of transmedia, cautions, “Don't be too proud of this technological terror you've constructed …” The technology of media can only get you so far – it has to be used correctly to be effective.
  • 26. The Method behind the Media As Jenkins (2006) comments, “Delivery systems are simply and only technologies; media are also cultural systems. Delivery technologies come and go all the time, but media persist as layers within an ever more complicated information and entertainment stratum.” (p.4)
  • 27. The Method behind the Media: Social Cognitive Theory So what is the method behind the media that makes occupywallst.org (and, by extension, the movement) so effective? And how can you measure that effectiveness? Bandura and his social cognitive theory, in particular his concepts of collective efficacy and social modeling, can provide an explanation.
  • 28. Social Cognitive Theory Snyder, Lopez, and Pedrotti (2011) define social cognitive theory as : “A theory suggesting that people’s self-efficacy (confidence in their abilities) influences their actions and thoughts in such a way that they shape their environments.” (p. 203-204).
  • 29. Social Cognitive Theory Bandura (2001) provides a more technical definition: “Social cognitive theory provides an agentic conceptual framework within which to analyze the determinants and psychosocial mechanisms through which symbolic communication influences human thought, affect and action.” (p. 265)
  • 30. Social Cognitive Theory : Collective Efficacy “Collective efficacy” is a group form of what Bandura calls “personal efficacy”. To understand collective efficacy you have to define what personal efficacy is first. According to Snyder et al. (2011): ”Bandura (1997, p. vii) defined self efficacy as “peoples’ beliefs in their capabilities to produce desired effects by their own action.” Similarly, Maddux (2009a, p. 336) has described self efficacy as “what I believe I can do with my skills under certain conditions.” (p. 168)
  • 31. Social Cognitive Theory : Collective Efficacy Bandura (2004) himself adds, “Efforts at social change typically challenge power relations and entrenched societal practices. Successes do not come easy. To change their lives for the better, people have to struggle against dated traditions and normative constraints.” (p. 80)
  • 32. Social Cognitive Theory : Collective Efficacy One of the signature elements of OWS that helps them to foster, maintain, and encourage collective efficacy in their groups and self efficacy for the individual members is the way they organize themselves both offline and online.
  • 33. Social Cognitive Theory : Collective Efficacy For example, OWS does not employ the top – down vertical structure with a leader on top and the followers below that is typical of other groups. In fact, it is a movement purposely comprised of people organized horizontally, with no single leader pulling the strings.
  • 34. Social Cognitive Theory : Collective Efficacy And it works. Berkowitz (2011) adds: “The Occupy movement, decentralised [sic] and leaderless, has mobilised [sic] thousands of people around the world almost exclusively via the internet. To a large degree through Twitter, and also with platforms such as Facebook and Meetup, crowds have connected and gathered.” (para. 3).
  • 35. Social Cognitive Theory : Collective Efficacy So how can such a group be organized and controlled in a productive fashion without falling into mobocracy?
  • 36. Social Cognitive Theory : Collective Efficacy On the ground, Occupy Wall Street uses a concept called the “General Assembly”, a form of pure (or “direct” as the website puts it) democracy where everyone gets a vote. Online, they use tools such as the website to host virtual versions of the same groups they have created offline.
  • 37. Social Cognitive Theory : Collective Efficacy On the website, or linked to it, Occupy Wall Street uses social media tools to create, foster, and maintain what Jenkins (2006) would recognize as “knowledge communities”. “Knowledge communities form around mutual intellectual interests; their members work together to forge new knowledge often in realms where no traditional expertise exists …” (Jenkins, 2006, p. 20).
  • 38. Social Cognitive Theory : Collective Efficacy And online knowledge communities need not be social, although they do need the technology of social media to work. As Giles (2010) points out, “Many online communities have been developed whose primary goal is not social but informational …” (p. 170).
  • 39. Social Cognitive Theory : Collective Efficacy These practices are entirely in keeping with Bandura’s social cognitive theory. He notes: “Social cognitive theory extends the conception of human agency to collective agency. People’s shared beliefs in their collective power to produce desired results are a key ingredient of collective agency. A group’s attainments are the product not only of shared knowledge and the skills of its different members, but also of the interactive, coordinative, and synergistic dynamics of their transactions.” (Bandura, 2000, pp. 75-76).
  • 40. Social Cognitive Theory : Social Modeling In describing social modeling, Bandura (2004) notes: “Modeling influences serve diverse functions in promoting personal and social change (Bandura, 1986, 1997). They include instructive, motivational, social prompting, and social construction functions. With regard to the instructive function, models serve as transmitters of knowledge, values, cognitive skills, and new styles of behavior. Observers also acquire emotional proclivities toward people, places, and objects through modeled emotional experiences.” (p. 78)
  • 41. Social Cognitive Theory : Social Modeling One of the signature elements of Occupy Wall Street, and a measurement of its success, is that it can be (and frequently is) replicated elsewhere in other communities, both physical and and/or topical
  • 42. Social Cognitive Theory : Social Modeling To do this the movement engages in social modeling, with the flagship website occupywallst.org serving as both a prototype, example and cultivator of what in effect has turned out to be kind of a prosocial activist franchise. While the groups are not directly related to each other, a kind of horizontal confederacy exists between them (in keeping with the local organizational structure discussed earlier) where each group controls itself locally.
  • 43. Social Cognitive Theory : Social Modeling In addition, in an example of what could also be categorized under the collective efficacy discussed above, the different franchises frequently collaborate together using social media, sharing resources, especially information, and moral support.
  • 44. Social Cognitive Theory : Social Modeling The practical nature of the social modeling practiced by the Occupy Wall Street site is in is in keeping with the precepts of Bandura’s theory, all the more so because the modeling occurs “vicariously” online while the receiving Occupy groups can be located around the World.
  • 45. Social Cognitive Theory : Social Modeling As Bandura (2002), notes “… their [peoples’] conceptions of social reality are greatly influenced by vicarious experiences – what they see, hear, and read in the mass media – without direct experiential correctives.” (p. 12). He adds: “To a large extent, people act on their images of reality. The more people’s images of reality depend upon the media’s symbolic environment, the greater is its social impact (S. Ball-Rokeach & DeFleur, 1976).” (Bandura, 2001, p. 271).
  • 46. Measuring the Effect of Occupy Wall Street and occupywallst.org So how do you measure the effectiveness of a movement like Occupy Wall Street and a website like occupywallst.org?
  • 47. Measuring the Effect of Occupy Wall Street and occupywallst.org Bandura (2000) offers the following advice. There are two main approaches to the measurement of a group’s perceived efficacy:
  • 48. Measuring the Effect of Occupy Wall Street and occupywallst.org The first method aggregates the individual members’ appraisals of their personal capabilities to execute the particular functions they perform in the group.
  • 49. Measuring the Effect of Occupy Wall Street and occupywallst.org The second method aggregates members’ appraisals of their group’s capability operating as a whole. The latter holistic appraisal encompasses the coordinative and interactive aspects operating with-in groups. (p. 76)
  • 50. Measuring the Effect of Occupy Wall Street and occupywallst.org At the time of this writing the author of this media project was not able to come across many reliable quantitative facts and figures regarding OWS and the website, perhaps because of the decentralized nature of the movement or because it is still so new . (Not that the author didn’t try - 255 separate LiveStream channels were hand-counted as of 12/17/11 at occupystreams.org/ where OWS showcases its links to its LiveStream videos.)
  • 51. Measuring the Effect of Occupy Wall Street and occupywallst.org The following qualitative anecdotes, from a New York Times article entitled simply “Occupy Wall Street” (12/14/2011), are more in keeping with Bandura’s advice:
  • 52. Measuring the Effect of Occupy Wall Street and occupywallst.org “Three weeks into the protest, similar demonstrations spread to dozens of other cities across the country, including Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago and Boston. In October, demonstrations in emulation of Occupy Wall Street were held in Europe, Asia and the Americas, drawing crowds in the hundreds and the thousands.” (para. 6-7)
  • 53. Measuring the Effect of Occupy Wall Street and occupywallst.org In other words, the “efficacy”, to use Bandura’s term, demonstrated by OWS has literally “moved” people. And OWS is getting noticed where it counts – the media: “… there was a sevenfold increase in Google searches for the term “99 percent” between September and October and a spike in news stories about income inequality throughout the fall, heaping attention on the issues raised by activists.” (para. 17)
  • 55. Conclusion It remains to be seen what will come of the Occupy Wall Street movement, its website, and what History will say about it. But it has already made a difference. According to the New York Times (12/14/2011), “Whatever the long-term effects of the Occupy movement, protesters have succeeded in implanting “We are the 99 percent,” referring to the vast majority of Americans … into the cultural and political lexicon.” (para. 15)
  • 56. Conclusion Bandura (2000) adds: ”People’s success in shaping their social and economic lives lies partly in a shared sense of efficacy to bring their collective influence to bear on matters over which they can have some command …. As globalization reaches ever deeper into people’s lives, a resilient sense of shared efficacy become critical to furthering their common interests.” (p. 78)
  • 57. Conclusion Regardless of the outcome, the footprint of OWS – and by extension the real world application of social cognitive theory – will remain.
