  2. Who is Albert Bandura? Albert Bandura, PhD. • David Starr Jordan Professor of Social Sciences, Stanford University • Faculty member at Stanford’s Psychology Department since 1953 Studies/theories for which he’s famous • Modeling to change behavior • Social Learning Theory • Studies in Aggression • Social cognitive theory • Self-efficacy

  3. Why Social Learning Theory? Internal determinants (personality, innate behaviors, etc.) are not the only factors influencing human behavior. External factors are also determinants in behavior, but are not independent of internal determinants in explaining how humans learn. Thus…. • Social learning theory is a continuous, cyclical interaction between cognitive, behavioral, and environmental determinants to produce human behavior. From the social learning perspective, reciprocal determinism, maintains that people, environment and situations continually affect each other.

  4. Vicarious processes • Learning by personal experience and observation • Response consequences • Modeling • Observational learning • Paying attention • Retaining • Motor production • Motivational

  5. Symbols Learning by exposure to images of desirable futures that motivate desired actions • Foreseeable goals • Symbolic modeling • Guide for desired behavior • No action required • Mass media a major source • Shapes images of reality

  6. Self-regulation Learning by organizing environmental stimuli and exhibiting self-control • Implementing self-reward and self-punishment • Adopting personal standards

  7. Conclusion Social Learning Theory maintains that humans can learn through: • Personal experience and observation or modeling, • Exposure to and following symbols for specific behavioral patterns, and • By regulating their own behavior through self reward or reprimand, by training themselves to respond to specific predetermined stimuli in their environment.
