John B. Watson and B. F. Skinner, both behaviorist, felt that everything a person or animal does is a response to an environmental stimulus. Social cognitive perspective also states that behavior is governed not just by the influence of external stimuli and response patterns but also by cognitive processes such as anticipation, judging, and memory as well as learning through the imitation of models. I feel this is the most accurate theory presented. I believe everything someone does has a stimulus that caused it. Along with this theory is Bandura’s reciprocal determinism. In Bandura’s model of reciprocal determinism, there are three factors that influence personality and behavior; the first being the environment, then the person, and then the behavior. I like Bandura’s model because it shows that for every action there is a certain environmental influence behind the
