    Study Notes

    Bandura's Social Cognitive Theory

    • Bandura's Social Cognitive Theory focuses on observational learning, triadic reciprocal causation, human agency, and dysfunctional behavior.
    • The Bobo Doll Experiment, a key element of the theory, investigated modeling of aggression.
    • The experiment's length was 5:00.
    • The source of the video material includes Albert Bandura, Stanford University, and Worth Publishers.

    Topics for Discussion

    • Observational and Enactive Learning
    • Triadic Reciprocal Causation
    • Human Agency
    • Dysfunctional Behavior

    Observational Learning

    • Observation is a more efficient learning method than direct observation.
    • Modeling involves cognitive processes, not just mimicry or imitation.
    • Observation allows learning without performing the behavior.

    Factors Determining Learning from Modeling

    • Characteristics of the model: Competent, powerful, and high-status people are more likely to be modeled.
    • Observer characteristics: People with less status or power are more likely to model.
    • Consequences of modeled behavior: The more value an observer places on a behavior, the more likely they are to acquire it.

    Process Governing Observational Learning

    • Attention, retention/representation, motivation, and behavioral reproduction.

    Enactive Learning

    • Learning through doing and experiencing consequences of actions, focusing on self-regulation and goal-directed behavior.
    • Three functions of response consequences are informing the effect of actions, motivating anticipatory behaviors, and involving learners in learning response consequences.

    Triadic Reciprocal Causation

    • Human action results from interactions between behavior, personal factors, and environmental factors.

    Chance Encounters/Fortuitous Events

    • Chance encounters are unintended meetings of unfamiliar people.
    • Fortuitous events are unexpected and unintentional environmental experiences.

    Human Agency

    • Intentionality: Conscious actions.
    • Forethought: Anticipation of likely outcomes of one's actions.
    • Self-reactiveness: Motivating and regulating one's own actions.
    • Self-reflectiveness: Evaluating one's own actions.

    Self-Efficacy

    • Belief in one's capability to perform actions that produce desired effects.

    Factors Contributing to Self-Efficacy

    • Mastery experience
    • Social modeling (vicarious experience)
    • Social persuasion
    • Physical and emotional states

    Proxy Agency

    • Observing and modeling behaviors through a third-party or intermediary source.

    Collective Efficacy

    • Shared belief within a group about their collective ability to successfully execute actions and achieve outcomes.

    Self-Regulation

    • High levels of self-efficacy, confidence in proxies, and strong collective efficacy lead to behavior regulation.
    • Self-regulation involves reactively reducing discrepancies between accomplishments and goals, and proactively setting new goals.

    External Factors in Self-Regulation

    • External factors provide standards for evaluating behavior (e.g., parents, teachers, society, and the environment).
    • External factors offer means of reinforcement (e.g., monetary reward, social recognition).

    Internal Factors in Self-Regulation

    • Self-observation: Monitoring one's own performance.
    • Judgmental process: Assessing the worth of actions based on personal goals, standards of reference, and performance attributions.
    • Self-reaction: Positive or negative response to one's own behavior.

    Self-Regulation Through Moral Agency

    • Proactively helping people.
    • Doing no harm to people.

    Mechanism of Self-Control Disengagement or Activation

    • Moral Justification
    • Palliative Comparison
    • Euphemistic Labeling
    • Minimizing, Ignoring, or Misconstruing Consequences
    • Dehumanization
    • Attribution of Blame
    • Displacement of Responsibility
    • Diffusion of Responsibility
