Triadic Reciprocal Causation
Presented in the mid-eighties by Albert Bandura; Triadic Reciprocal Causation (often shown as a triangle consisting of three squares that all connect) is a theory that states personal factors, behaviors, and the environment influences how a person develops. For example, if a child is treated poorly by their peers at school there is a higher probability for the child to want to go back. It is also less probable for the student to succeed in a classroom due to added stress of bullying. This is a perfect example of Triadic Reciprocal Causation and how behavior, personal factors, and environment, not only influence each other, but they are also all influenced by each other.

Conducted for the first time in 1961, this experiment focused on 72 children aged from three to six. Their aggression level was tested before the experiment could take place. It was rated on an aggression scale. The children’s scores were then calculated and the kids were split into groups; a dozen of each gender. Twenty-four children were exposed to the aggressive stimulus. This stimulus consisted of one man and one woman who both had six children of each gender observe them. The children observed the man or woman acting aggressively towards the Bobo Doll. The BoBo Doll is an inflated doll with weights in the bottom that can rise again when struck down), The aggression included hitting, throwing, and yelling at the doll. The second group was a non-aggressive group that was set up the same way. These twelve boys and girls were exposed to two adults who ignored Bobo doll and focused on a different toy. The third group wasn’t exposed at all to any behaviors.
Through this experiment Bandura observed that environment and behavior both affect a child’s behavior. Through his observations he concluded that children who were exposed to the violent behavior acted in the same fashion as the adults did. They were violent, kicking, hitting, and punching the doll. The dolls were being destroyed in some …show more content…
It wasn’t until my fourth-grade teacher inspired me do my best and push the limits to succeed. UntiI that time I had not realized how the environment and personal relationships effected my success. I believe that Albert Banduras theory is extremely important when developing and producing a successful classroom. Always remembering the triangle can be useful to both you and your students. Today many teachers are teaching for the wrong reason. Banduras theory could have been used as a tool to change their way of thinking. I plan to dive even deeper into Bandura and thoroughly research and inspect all his theories. I will inspect Banduras theory on social learning, as well as his social cognitive theory. Writing this paper has been extremely eye opening to me and I for one cannot wait to apply Triadic Reciprocal Causation in a positive way in my own
