Document Summary
People are active agents who both influence and are influenced by their environment. People learn from observing others (observational learning) People"s beliefs in their own ability (self-efficacy) influences whether an observed behavior will be reproduced or not: the bobo doll experiment: results. Children who observed the aggressive model made far more imitative aggressive responses than those who were in the non-aggressive or control groups. Some children who observed aggressive behavior had partial or non-imitative aggression, although the difference was small. Vicarious reinforcement: observing the environmental outcomes of the behavior of others: factors in observational learning. Outcome expectation: observers are likely to perform the modeled actions they believe are appropriate and will result in rewarding outcomes. Goals: observers are likely to attend to models who demonstrates behavior that help observers attain goals. Self-efficacy: elements of observational learning: arpm model. Motivation and reinforcement: modeling: learning from others.
