    Study Notes

    Triadic Reciprocal Causation Model

    • Observation is a key component of the triadic reciprocal causation model.
    • Individuals must attend to models before they can imitate their behavior.

    Self-Efficacy

    • Self-efficacy refers to people's shared beliefs in their ability to bring about change.
    • It is the foundation of human agency, allowing individuals to regulate their behavior.
    • Self-efficacy is the belief in one's ability to control events and outcomes.

    Observational Learning

    • Observation can lead to new response patterns if individuals attend to models and are motivated to learn.
    • Imitation is a process that greatly speeds up the learning process within observational learning.

    Regulation of Behavior

    • Forethought is necessary for individuals to transform transitory events into consistent ways of evaluating and regulating their social environments.
    • Self-regulation is enabled by self-efficacy, which allows individuals to regulate their behavior.
    • Self-reflection is key to the ongoing exercise of self-influence, but not an internal requirement.

    Fear and Aggression

    • Television and other media can generate fears by exposing individuals to frightening situations.
    • Aggressive behavior can be acquired through observation and imitation of aggressive models.
    • Phobias are described as fears that are irrational and excessive.

    Learning and Human Agency

    • Bandura suggests that there are two major types of learning for acquiring new behaviors: observational learning and direct conditioning.
    • Human action is a result of an interaction among three variables: behavior, personal factors, and environmental factors.
    • The triadic reciprocal causation model explains how behavior, personal factors, and environmental factors interact to influence psychological functioning.
