Observational learning

In conducting the practical, the results have shown inconsistencies within the data. This is evidently shown in figure 2, where the reaction rate at 2°C was 88 mL/min, whereas the reaction rate at 32°C was 83.5 mL/min. The reaction rate was lower at 32°C compared to 2°C which is biologically incorrect. As the optimum temperature of an enzyme is 37°C, the closest temperature recorded to that temperature was 32°C. At this temperature, the reaction rate decreased instead of gradually increasing.…

Albert Bandura once said, “Psychology cannot tell people how they ought to live their lives. It can however, provide them with means for effecting personal and social change.” The Social Learning theory is a theory based on the observation of other people where one self looks for confirmation of individual behavior to see if it’s acceptable. 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…

Aker (1966) proposed theory called social learning theory. He argues that the social learning theory has primarily four major theoretical concepts, such as differential association, definition, differential reinforcement, and imitation. He claimed that, the chance that person will engage in criminal behavior is increased when they differentially associate with others who are known to have committed crime in the past. Aker said, the person is more likely to commit crime when he or she…

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."

Body: In 1977, psychologist Albert Bandura created the social learning theory. This theory brings forth the idea that people, mostly children learn through modeling. Modeling is the act of learning through watching a parent or family member, television character, or a friend and later copying the behavior observed. Bandura’s most famous and known experiment was the “Bobo doll experiment”…

attitude, interest and capabilities of a person are used to predict their reaction to particular circumstances. Personality development, therefore, is believed to be coined from two significant and contrasting theories, psychodynamic and social learning theories. The psychodynamic theory is among the first influential explanation that combines the genetic and biological forces together with an individual’s social experience in a bid to explain personality acquisition from childhood. It also…

Aim The aim of this practical is to measure the effect of volume, density and temperature. It is also help to be familiar with variety of common laboratory technique. Materials Weighting scale Container with lids 20 and 10 ml Volumetric pipette Beaker Thermometer Test Tubes Volumetric flask Natural Rubber Pipette Filler Micropipette tips Tips boxes Method There are two pipette, choose one which you using in whole practical. Label and weight accurately, to 4 decimal places. Collect…

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…

11a, lab 1: Motion, Measurement and Statistics In the first lab we will investigate the motion of a ball rolling down an inclined plane. We will use this simple system to investigate the concept of systematic and random measurement uncertainties to understand how much we can trust a measurement. We will then compare the experimental outcome with theory. I. Ball on an inclined plane: Measuring motion We want to measure the motion of a ball that rolls down on an inclined plane…
