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.
