(+) principles been applied to a range of real-world behaviours
> SLT is able to explain cultural differences in behaviour
> principles, such as modelling, imitation and reinforcement, can account for how children learn from others around them, including media -> can explain how social/cultural norms are transmitted through particular societies
> this has proved useful in understanding a range of behaviour, such as how children come to understand their gender role
> this increases the value of the approach as it can account for real-world behaviour
