Social cognitive theory focuses on learning through observation of others. It assumes that people can learn new behaviors and knowledge by watching models, and that learning is an internal process that may or may not result in behavior change. Additionally, it posits that behavior becomes self-regulated over time and is influenced indirectly by reinforcement and punishment.
