Social Learning Theory
•Alex Bandura
•Modelling
•Learning through
observing others’
behaviour, attitudes, &
outcomes of those
behaviours.
•“Reciprocal
Determinism”: a person’s
behaviour both
influences, and is
influenced by personal
factors & social
environment
•A person may model
behaviour by:
1. The observer is
reinforced by the model.
2. The observer is
reinforced by a third
person.
3. The imitated behavior
itself leads to reinforcing
consequences. Many
behaviors that we learn
from others produce
satisfying or reinforcing
results.
