  Albert Bandura
• What is the Social-Cognitive Theory originally called?

  Social Learning Theory
• According to the social learning theory, he found out that

  human learning and imitation of behaviour were based on

  three principles:

  1. the stimulus that generates the behavioural response

  2. the response feedback influencing the behavioural

  response

  3. the cognitive functions in social learning that impacts

  the behavioural response.
• Observational Learning

  More efficient than learning through direct experience.
• Modeling

  Involves cognitive processes and is NOT mimicry or imitation.
• Matching actions of another

  involves symbolically representing information and storing it for use at a future time.
• “Personality is the product of reciprocal determinism, or the mutual interaction among one’s environment, behavior, and thoughts.”
• Who said that “Personality is the product of reciprocal determinism, or the mutual interaction among one’s environment, behavior, and thoughts.”?

• Triadic Reciprocal Causation

  Human action is a result of an interaction among environment, behavior, and person (memory, anticipation, planning, judging)
• Triadic Reciprocal Causation

  Indicates a triadic interaction of forces, not a similar or opposite counteraction
• What is this?

  Triadic Reciprocal Causation

  
• Self-Efficacy and Reciprocal Determinism

  How people act in a particular situation depends on the

  reciprocity of behavioral, environmental, and cognitive

  conditions, especially those cognitive factors that relate

  to their beliefs that they can or cannot execute the

  behavior necessary to produce desired outcomes in any

  particular situation.
