Introduction of the Theory (History) Social Learning Theory was introduced by Albert Bandura in year 1977 ( McLeod, 2011). Social Learning Theory was mainly talking about how environmental factor influence the social behavior of an individual. An individual will simply observe and imitate the behaviors or actions of nearby people. In the early stages of Albert Bandura’s research for social learning theory, he analyzed the basics of learning process of human and also the willingness of children
Another theory that is relevant to the study is Albert Bandura’s (1977) Social Learning Theory. Unlike the experiential learning theory which is more focused on how the environment influence the behavior of the individual, the social learning theory is established on the premise that we learn from our interactions with others in a social context. Moreover, by examining the behaviors of others, people tend to replicate and develop similar behaviors, especially if their observational experiences are
five year old was paying such close attention to her. This story gives truth to the famous saying “children live what they learn” this is so according to the theory Social Learning fathered by the Canadian – American Psychologist Albert Bandura. Unlike other theories that support the belief that behaviours are inherited, Social learning theory believes that individuals learn from their environment and from each other through imitation, observation and modeling. In a quest to prove this Bandura conducted
Albert Bandura is an influential social cognitive psychologist who is perhaps best-known for his social learning theory, the concept of self-efficacy and his famous Bobo doll experiments (Albert Bandura biography,2016). He is a Professor Emeritus at Stanford University and is widely regarded as one of the greatest living psychologists (Albert Bandura biography,2016). One 2002 survey ranked him as the fourth most influential psychologist of the twentieth-century, behind only B.F.Skinner, Sigmund Freud
OBSERVATIONAL LEARNING The Social Learning Theory, also known as observational learning, involves how a learner changes behaviour and obtains knowledge as a result of watching others within their environment. Albert Bandura (1977) considered observational learning as the process that explains the nature of children learning behaviours by watching the behaviour of the people in their environment, and ultimately, imitating them. Observational learning will be applied to demonstrate how in the
The social learning theory proposed by Albert Bandura has become perhaps the most influential theory of learning and development. While rooted in many of the basic concepts of traditional learning theory, Bandura believed that direct reinforcement could not account for all types of learning. While the behavioral theories of learning suggested that all learning was the result of associations formed by conditioning, reinforcement, and punishment, Bandura 's social learning theory proposed that learning
Social Cognitive Learning theory is presented by Albert Bandura on 1961. This theory is mainly based on observation. Hence, it is also known as observational learning theory. Observational learning theory means learning of a new behavior through observing actions of a model displayed. There are four element requires in the observational learning (Bandura, 1986). The four key elements are attention, memory, imitation and desire. Nowadays, violent crime, especially crimes involving teenagers, is increasing
research follows a framework developed by Albert Bandura (1977), Social Learning Theory, which is an existing theory that use for similar research. This theory stated that behaviour is learned from the environment through the process of observational learning. Specifically, there is three components of social learning theory construct describing how peers influence personal alcohol consumption: social reinforcement, modelling and cognitive processes. Social reinforcement states that people are more

Foreign and Local literature and studies are presented to support the study. “Learning would be exceedingly laborious, not to mention
Social Learning Theory John Riley UMUC Social Learning Theory on Gender Development Explanation The Social Learning Theory (SLT) is most frequently related with Albert Bandura’s works. Bandura was a professor at Stanford who saw boundaries in the learning theory of behaviorism. He incorporated philosophies of the cognitive and behavioral learning theories (Grusec, 1992) as well as created the Social Learning Theory. SLT suggests that gender identity and role are sets of behaviors obtained through
