Social Learning Approach
Cognition should be taken into consideration
Thought goes into behaviour
Skinner/Watson did not account for thought
People do not passively respond to environment
self regulating, self organising, proactive
Observational learning → response is influecned by behaviour of others. Likely to
repeat behaviour based on environmental respone
Model: person’s who’s behaviour we imitate
Parents, siblings, peers, teachers, mentors, celebrities, politicians etc.
Self reinforcement/punsihment → direct effect on individual’s self evaluation
