- 1. Young observer sees older role model with a gun & his friends are telling him how cool he looks [STIMULUS]

- 3. Observer decides he does want this feeling and so gets a gun [OUTPUT]

- SLT explains crime can be commited for different reasons because of peoples individual motivation & expectation differs depending on the role model
- Evaluation
- + Recognises individual differences
- + Less nomothetic
