It is also where the human being models or imitates behaviors and attitudes of others for one’s own benefit. Bandura later added that self-efficacy was…

    During the course of this practical, the different factors of a pendulum will be investigated. A pendulum is a mass held from a fixed point so it is able to swing freely, the mass swings back and forth in an arc. The formula for finding the period of a certain pendulum lies in the change of the length of string suspending the mass, and the force due to gravity where the pendulum is being used. This relationship is shown in the equationT=2π√( L/g) (Sean, 2010), as the length of the string…

    Bandura's social learning theory is based on role modelling. "Children pay attention to some of these people and encode their behavior. At a later time they may imitate the behavior they have observed. They may do this regardless of whether the behavior is ‘gender appropriate’ or not, but there are a number of processes that make it more likely that a child will reproduce the behavior that its society deems appropriate for its sex."

One that “mediating processes occur between stimuli & responses”(line two, paragraph one),and two that, “behavior is learned from the environment through the process of observational learning” (line three, paragraph one).

    The first theory is the social learning theory (SLT). It begins on the premise that we learn aggressive behaviour by observing others. Although we learn this behaviour we may not chose to show it, we are more likely to imitate the behaviour if they are a role model. Also, if the observed aggression is shown to have positive consequences, then we are more likely to observe it, this is commonly referred to as vicarious reinforcement. In order for social learning to take place the individual must…
