Banduras role modelling theory

• Bandura's research on the effects of observational learning was conducted with children.
• The Bobo doll experiment involved showing aggressive behavior to children, who then imitated it when they played with other children.
• Children were more likely to engage in aggressive behaviors if they saw adults engaging in them first.
• Observing others can influence our own behavior through modeling or copying their actions.
• Observing others can lead to changes in our own attitudes, beliefs, values, and actions.
• Modeling is an important aspect of socialization and learning new skills.
• We are influenced by what we see and hear from those around us.
• Role models play an important part in shaping our thoughts and behaviors.
• Social cognitive theories emphasize the importance of observation and modeling in shaping human behavior.
• Models can be real-life individuals or fictional characters from books, movies, TV shows, etc.
• According to this theory, people are not just passive recipients of information but active participants in their environment.
• Bandura's research on observational learning has practical implications for education, parenting, and therapy.
