Theoretical Application #3- Bandura’s Model
Role: Parent
Behavior: Refusal to do chores
Child’s Age: 10
Key concept 1: Attentional Processes Bandura’s model is constructed on that we often learn much faster through observing the behavior of others. Bandura’s believed that, “we cannot imitate a model unless we pay attention to the model. Models often attract our attention because they are distinctive, or because they possess the trappings of success, prestige, power, and other winsome qualities” (Crain, 2011). From this perspective, my 10-year-old child, who often refuses to do chores needs a model to help attract her attention and understand the importance of doing chores. Right now she is not wanting to do chores because her parents don’t like to do chores either. Because she does not have anything to grab her attention, as the parent, I should find positive attention getter. For example, a YouTube …show more content…
These can be accessed through observation alone, when they don’t have the physically ability to do the chore. My 10-year-old daughter may still be too young to mow the lawn. However, by observing someone else mow the lawn, she can produce correct motor skills. She will know how to pour the gas, start the lawn mower, and how to push/ guide the lawn mower in an efficient pattern across the lawn. By having my daughter observe different household chores, she will gain motor skills that will help her when she is physically able to do those chores. I think this can help enhance my daughter’s ability to do household chores the correct and efficient way. However, I don’t think this theory is very appropriate if the observations make her never want to do the task. She may have gained the correct motor skills to do that task, but she has created a negative attitude towards the duty at
