Individuals have cognitive capacity to imagine themselves in roles of others and incorporate this into their conceptions of themselves: thomas theorem: if people define situation as real, then they are real in their consequences. Differential association: edwin sutherland: originator, rejected: crime was caused by criminal type or psychopathology, criminal behaviour was learned: social context contributed to criminal behaviour. Discriminating stimuli: cues or signals that tell an indi whether behaviours is likely to be reinforced/ punished, not a response to a particular behaviour: exist before and during the behaviour. Schedule of consequences: probability that the consequences will happen, frequency of the consequence, length of time before the consequences will be realized.
