Social Cognitive Theory

1. Who proposed that gender role development is the result of learning from social agents who model & reinforce gender role behaviours? (7)
5. Direct ------- = kids learn through vicarious reinforcement but also through explicit instructions about appropriate gender behaviour - begins as kids acquire linguistic skills & serves as a way of informing kids of appropriate/inappropriate conduct (7)
6. IDA - However, gender inconsistent messages are mis-remembered & therefore have no -----. (6)
7. ------- reinforcement = children observe the behaviour of others & learn the consequences of the behaviour - this info is stored as an expectancy of future outcome - learning such behaviours is the result of imitation/modelling. (8)

1. Who renamed social learning theory as social cognitive theory to emphasise the role of cognitive factors in learning? (7)
3. 'Instructors' (teachers & parents) don't always practise what they preach & the impact of this tuition is weakened when what's being taught it contradicted by what's being --------. (8)
4. IDA - Who found stereoytying was reduced when children were shown commercials with women in non-traditional roles? Led to pressure on programme makers to try to use this knowledge to alter such attitudes. (7)
8. ------ reinforcement = although boys & girls may learn the characteristic behaviours of both sexes, they don't perform everything they learn (what they learn doesn't always directly affect them). (6)
9. IDA - Research has shown that exposure to non-stereotypical info in the ----- can change expectations. (5)
10. Who found that preschool boys played with toys labelled 'boys toys' (direct tuition) even when they saw girls playing with them but didn't play with those labelled 'girls toys' despite seeing other boys playing with them? (6, 2, 2)
