- Social Learning Theory (SLT)
- Firstly, there must be a learner and a model.
- To the learner, the model must be of the same gender, sex, and personality. However, status-wise the model is superior.
- If the model is rewarded after performing the behaviour, then that increases the likelihood that the learner will imitate the behaviour.
- THIS IS VICARIOUS REINFORCEMENT
- If the model is rewarded after performing the behaviour, then that increases the likelihood that the learner will imitate the behaviour.
- The learner must be able to pay ATTENTION and RETAIN the model's behaviour.
- Must be able to REPRODUCE the model's behaviour, and have the MOTIVATION to do so.
- To the learner, the model must be of the same gender, sex, and personality. However, status-wise the model is superior.
- KEY TERMS
- OBSERVATION- refers to watching a model's behaviour.
- IMITATION- refers to copying a behaviour after it has been modelled.
- EVALUATION
- All three of Bandura's variations found, over and over again, that children will copy aggressive behaviour shown by a model.
- For example, an adult repeatedly said bad words and was violent towards a Bobo doll- the child then reproduced this.
- SLT is reductionist because it focuses on how observation affects our behaviour, and no other (more plausible) factors like genetics.
- SLT, in this way, could explain ho our thoughts and motivations affect our behaviour on a day-to-day basis.
- This can be applied to real life with modelling-based therapies. They're based on the principles of SLT.
- Positive role models can be used to encourage people to change their behaviour.
- Face validity- people have role models in celebrities, parents, and friends. Often this will affect people's behaviour.
