    Study Notes

    Social Cognitive Theory

    • People respond to aversive behaviors depending on the consequences of aggression by others, either avoiding or countering them.
    • Moral agency has two aspects: avoiding harm to others and living up to personal standards.
    • Self-regulation operates only when activated, and people can justify their actions to separate themselves from the consequences of their behavior.

    Observational Learning

    • Observational learning involves attention, representation, and behavioral production.
    • Symbolic representation is necessary for observational learning, and verbal coding speeds up the process.
    • Attention is necessary before observation can lead to new response patterns.
    • Behavioral production involves producing the observed behavior.

    Triadic Reciprocal Causation Model

    • The triadic reciprocal causation model consists of environmental, behavioral, and cognitive factors that interact and influence each other.
    • Self-efficacy is an important component of the triadic reciprocal causation model, predicting performance.

    Albert Bandura's Biography

    • Albert Bandura was born on December 4, 1925, in Mundare, Alberta.
    • He was the only boy in a family of five older sisters.
    • His decision to become a psychologist was accidental, resulting from a fortuitous event.

    Key Concepts

    • Selective activation: the process by which people choose to observe and learn from certain models.
    • Disengagement: justifying one's actions to separate oneself from the consequences of one's behavior.
    • Plasticity: humans' ability to learn and adapt to different behaviors and situations.
    • Proxy agency: relying on others for goods and services.
    • Collective efficacy: shared beliefs that people can bring about change.
    • Self-regulation: regulating one's conduct through external and internal factors.
